Foundation 100 Days of School
On Wednesday 31st July, our Foundation students celebrated their 100 Days of School.
Our teachers significantly aged on this day with students joining in the fun, dressing in a much older and wiser manner. What a fabulous day!
German Poetry Competition
On Wednesdy, 31st July ten Level 4 - 6 students from Rangeview Primary School took part in the AGTV German Poetry Competition regional final. The regional final was held at Mullauna Secondary College. Students were judged according to their pronunciation and intonation, dictation and phrasing, and how well they were able to deliver the meaning of the poem across to the judges.
Students in Levels 5 and 6 who received a first or second place at the regional final were invited to participate in the state final to be held at The Austrian Club in Heidelberg on Saturday, 19th October, 2024.
Congratulations to Suhani, Tiana, Ari, Penelope, Annika, Elise, Tessa, Alysha, Justin and Matilda for your outstanding performances on the day.
Level 1 and 2 Aquarium Excursions
As part of the Term 3 Inquiry learning, the Level 1 and 2 students visited the Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium on Monday 29th July (Level 2) and Wednesday 31st July (Level 1).

Level 5/6 Smoothie Bar Incursion
As part of the Term 3 Inquiry Unit 'Market Mayhem', on Friday 2nd August, Level 5 & 6 students participated in 'The Smoothie Bar' incursion, to build their understanding of creating and managing a business.
In this hands-on, full day incursion, students embarked on a quest to create a smoothie product and marketing campaign that promoted health and wellness in their community.
Working in teams through 5 steps, students discovered what it takes to become a business owner. They investigated the preferences of their target market, design and learnt about cost and profit before trialling their delicious and nutritious blends. Once they had the ultimate smoothie recipe, students used their digital literacy and design skills to create marketing materials to promote their product and brand. It all comes down to The Pitch!
