Year 4

Guest Speaker From The Victorian Institute of Sport

This  week we were fortunate to have Emily Hamilton - Smith come and talk to us about her journey in becoming an elite hockey player. Not only did she tell us about being a top athlete, but she gave us strategies on how to be the best person that we can be. She told us that we shouldn't compare ourselves to other people. Also, that if we are faced with a challenge, we can choose to either give up or do everthing possible to achieve our goal.

Incursion

On Tuesday April 1st the children will be attending a musical performance that will enhance their Term 1 Inquiry Topic “Stamp Out Bullying”.  The characters perform song and dance numbers to demonstrate different approaches to resolve the issues of bullying. It focuses on strategies to manage both online and face-to-face bullying. Permission and payment details can be found on Compass.

Year 4 Camp

The Year 4 Camp will be taking place from Wednesday 7th of May until Friday 9th of May at Camp Oasis in Mt Evelyn. Payment for the camp will open on Compass on Monday 24th March and will close on Tuesday 22nd April.

Please find below a link to the Year 4 camp equipment/clothes list. It is suggested that you have a look at the list in the next week or so to ensure that you have all items on the list. This will give you time over the school holidays to obtain anything that you don't already have. 

Harmony Day

Harmony Day is being celebrated Thursday 20th March. The day will include a special assembly starting at 9:10am in the Stadium at which the students are invited to dress up in clothes from either their own or another culture.
