Hope you enjoyed the long weekend and I trust you all spent some valuable down time with your families and celebrated all that is great about our wonderful city and state.

Eureka!!

Planning for Eureka, our 2024 Musical production is well underway. Eureka is a Gardenvale original production written by Julie and Tom Pitts, along with Grant Puglia, our previous Performing Arts teacher. Lead role auditions for our Year 5 and 6 students will commence this week. All Year 5 and 6 students will be a cast member along with two students from all Prep to Year 4 classes. The musical will be staged at Alexander Theatre, Monash University, on the 10th, 11th and 12th September. Please stay tuned for a Compass message regarding Eureka hoodies for purchase.

Wine and Cheese Night

The Parent Wine and Cheese Night was held in our Senior Courtyard last Thursday. Thank you to all the parents that were able to support the evening and I am sure a fun time was had by all. A big thank you to the following organisers and companies for their time, effort and generosity in making the event possible; Robyn Krawitz, Elysia Ferguson, Jenny Gwynne, Hugh Maguire, Cath McLoughlin, Kym Parker, Jen and Mark Robinson, Tanya Shulman, Jordi Vernon, The Sneaky Treat Company, Stomping Ground and Wolf of the Willows Brewing.

Wednesdays for Preps

We are excited to welcome the Preps tomorrow for their first school Wednesday of the year. It is pleasing to see the excitement and energy generating from all of the Prep classrooms and how well the students have settled in and embraced their first year of primary school.

Working Bee

A reminder that we have our Working Bee for the Year 2 and 6 families this Sunday from 9.00am to 11.00am. We encourage and would love to have many families, Mums, Dads, and children attend and help make our grounds and buildings spick and span!

A special ‘thank you’ to Lyla Hennig for the brilliant job she did polishing our silver sporting shields! They are sparklingly and look resplendent in our Senior foyer!

Have an enjoyable week,

Janine Hall
