Dear Parents and Carers,

I write this newsletter as the final one for term 3. I cannot believe how fast this term, and this year, has gone. I hope you and your family find the time to relax and rejuvenate before returning for the final term of the year.

Next term we have many things to look forward to, such as Year 3-6 swimming, Year 6 Graduation, class excursions, fundraising events such as the colour run and many more exciting things.

School Council Casual Vacancy: School councils play an important role in Victorian government schools. We meet 9 times a year on a Monday evening. The role of School Council includes, amongst other things, establishing the broad direction and vision of the school, raise funds for school related purposes and generally stimulate interest in the wider school community. At the moment, we have a casual vacancy. If this is something that you are interested in, please contact me and I will be able to provide you with more information.

Prep Enrolments 2024: We have continued small group tours for potential 2024 Prep enrolments during this term and will continue to meet families next term. If you have a preschool age child or know someone who does, please ask them to call the school on 9743 5818 to book into one of these tours. We start our Transition Program in November and we would like as many children as possible to attend to help their start to school life to be positive.

2024 Plans: We will be beginning the process of forming new class grouping for 2024 during Term 4. In order to know how many classes we will need, please contact the office to let us know if your child will not be returning in 2024 for any reason so we can plan accordingly. If you are unsure of the new school that is okay, we do not need to know that information at the moment.

Special Requests for 2024 Class: Part of the work we do in term 4 is to form the new classes for the following year. If you have any concerns or requests about other children your child should or shouldn’t be with please put these in writing before Friday 27th October. Any requests received after this date CAN NOT be considered, due to the flow-on effect that any changes to classes already created has across the board. I will need to stick to this timeline quite tightly to ensure the process runs as smoothly and as efficiently as possible. Please note, requests for specific teachers will not be considered. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this process, please do not hesitate to contact the office to make an appointment to speak with me.
