Name the skeleton competition

Students were able to give their suggestions for a name for our new skeleton that will be located in STEAM Room. 

We had lots of really good entries but our steam leaders decided that ‘Bob‘ is the best and popular name. 

Pictured are the students who chose ‘Bob‘ for our competition. 

We all welcome Bob to Wales Street PS and hope he has a long legacy teaching us about the human body across the school.         

   LIONS CLUBS HEARING AND VISION TESTS

   FOR CHILDREN AGED  3.5 TO 6 YEARS OF AGE

Dear Parents,

Like many other Lions Clubs across Victoria, Northcote Lions Club is offering pre-schoolers and prep children (3.5 – 6 years) hearing screening AND Vision screening tests as part of its community service program.

Students under supervision from Melbourne University’s Audiology and Optometry Departments will carry out the play-based testing, and parents will be informed immediately and referred to their GP if hearing or Vision abnormalities are detected.

Early detection of hearing and vision loss is critical for the development of normal speech and language skills. Statistics indicate that around 3% of children tested are found to have difficulties.

These tests are FREE OF CHARGE, and will be held between 9.00 am and 4 pm on
