USPS School Leaders-Vyom, Jasper, Isla and Judd
We acknowledge the Wurundjeri elders, past, present and emerging for sharing this land that we teach, connect and learn upon.
We continue to walk together to make a stronger future for this land we call home.
We greatly appreciate the elders for taking care of this amazing country.

On Thursday 24th April, our school leaders delivered our Upwey South Primary School ANZAC day service. All of them spoke confidently and respectfully, giving a brief explanation of what ANZAC day means and some information about the people who have fought in the many different wars. Attached below is what was read.
School Wide Positive Behaviour for Learning school leaders
It's been great to see our SWPBL school leaders interacting with our students and teachers through the consistent selling of items for the ANZAC appeal. Keep an eye out for them during term 2.
Whole School Reward System
Have you seen our Lyrebirds in the Foyer? During the term, these lyrebirds will gain more and more feathers depending on how they are placed in the whole school House Point reward system. The more feathers the more points your house has got during the term. Below is a photo of where the houses are placed. Well done Waratah, you are in front at the moment. We still have many weeks in the term to gain more points and more feathers.
Lets work together to get the birds growing.

Message from Miss Humphries
Thank you to all our school families for support our students on a positive start to Term Two. It has been a busy few weeks with Anzac Day, Yr3-6 Swimming, VSSS dance hub, whole school Cross-country and our Mother's Day afternoon. We seem to have settled into a good routine in week 4 with positive classroom environments and supportive interactions in the school yard.
In my position, I have the ability to spend time in all learning spaces. Seeing how the students are working with their teachers and working together with their peers, makes me proud to belong at Upwey South Primary.
We have a number of events coming up in the next few weeks. Please see the Compass calendar to be aware of these events.
Llew Humphries.
