Upcoming Events
Foundation 100th Day of School
Volunteers @ DPW
Next session: Wednesday the 6th of August @ 9:15am.
The induction program covers information around the Victorian Child Safe Standards, Occupational Health & Safety and a familiarization tour of the school.
The Victorian Department of Education states:
Volunteers should be inducted, trained and supervised according to the school’s procedures for staff or volunteer induction and management. This includes being familiar with school level procedures for identifying and reporting suspected child abuse.
Should you wish to volunteer at DPW (attend excursions/incursion, assist in the library, attend onsite activities etc.):
- Contact the school office to add your details to the volunteer expression of interest form. The induction must be completed each year.
- Supply the school office with your Working with Children (WWCC) Clearance (we will take a photocopy for our records)
- Complete a volunteer induction session facilitated by the school (offered at the beginning of each term and if there are sufficient numbers, to offer an additional session during the term)
If you have any further questions, please contact the school office.
Book Week Celebrations
This term, there are some exciting events happening at our school in celebration of Book Week.
On Tuesday 19th August, we will be having a dress up day! Students are encouraged to come to school dressed as a book character or inspired by a book. There is no cost for this event. There will be a parade on the grounds from 2:15pm to 3:15pm and families are welcome to attend.
The school library will also be hosting the Scholastic Book Fair from the 25th to 29th August. The fair will be open from 8:45am to 3:30pm each day. Students will visit the fair during their class library time and families are welcome to attend before and after school.
Students will be given a wish list to write down the books they discover at the fair. To make a purchase, follow the instructions to pay by card or pay with cash at the library.
