Thursday 14th March - School Photo Day

Our school photo day is coming up next week on Thursday 14th March

Please make sure that your child is at school on this day (and on time) as there will be professional class group photos and individual student photos taken by MSP, our school photography partners.

On Thursday, each class will have their group photo taken, followed by the individual photos at the below times;

You can easily order your own copies of these photos via Compass. On the homepage of the app or the website, you should see an 'alert' that prompts you to place your online orders (see below). Orders must be placed before (or up to 1 week after) photo day or additional fees apply.

If you would like your children to have a sibling photo together, these must be ordered in advance (by 11pm on Wednesday 13th March) as MSP will only take sibling photos that have been pre-ordered.

New Beehive location needed

At the end of last year we were excited to receive a flow hive and some buzzy inhabitants as a part of our kitchen garden program. The hive and bees were funded by a $1000 Woolworths Junior Landcare Grant.

Sadly, as we now have a member of our school who has an anaphylactic reaction to bee stings, we have been advised to find a new location of the hive, off school premises.

We are therefore asking our school community whether any nearby families, relatives or workplaces might have a spot that the hive could be moved to. A garden, back yard or even a flat, accessible rooftop would be ideal.

Ideally this would be close to the school so we can continue to look after the hive and, when the time comes, harvest the honey for our kitchen garden sessions.

Anybody willing to host the hive would receive training and equipment to allow them to join our 'bee team' and payment in the way of beautiful local honey when the time is right.

The hive itself is very small and, once the bees are installed and settled, there is very little activity around the hive. We would help with fencing, gates and whatever else is required to make this project a success in its new location.

Please reach out to Neil neil.scott@education.vic.gov.au if you think you can help.

Save the Date - Mother's and Special Persons Lunch on Friday May 10th.  

Please pop this date in your calendars! There will be more details about this exciting event coming soon.  

Curriculum day - Friday 22nd March

A reminder that we will be taking a curriculum day on Friday 22nd March. 

The noise and disruption caused by the Grand Prix means that this is not a great day to be at school and so our staff will be working offsite with Narissa Leung on the teaching of Writing.

Team Kids will be running a (noisy) full-day program at the school on this day.

School Council Meeting

Our next meeting is at 6:30pm on Wednesday 27th March.

This meeting is our Council AGM and also the presentation of the 2023 Annual Report to the School Community. At this meeting the new Council will meet for the first time and office-bearers (President, Vice-President and Treasurer) will be elected.

All community members are welcome to attend this meeting (and all Council meetings). The meeting will be held in the school staffroom.
