Principal Team

Dear Parents and Carers,

It has been a wonderful start to Term 2, the students have returned to school happy and focussed on their learning. We currently have 392 students enrolled at Somerville Primary School; we are currently taking bookings for school tours for 2025 Prep students. At this stage we have over 50 families booked in for tours already, which is an outstanding reflection on the high-quality teaching and learning that occurs each and every day at our school.

Last Wednesday we had our ANZAC day ceremony. Our school leaders ran the ceremony, and they did an exceptional job. A special thank you to Mrs Emery for organising the ceremony and to Naval officer Adam Quinn who presented at the ceremony. On ANZAC day we had our two school captains, Ilai & Mila, read a poem each at the dawn service in Somerville, I was blown away by how incredibly well they represented themselves and the school.  Our grade 5 & 6 students have competed in their Summer Sports lightning premiership and the feedback was fantastic stating how well the students encouraged one another and displayed excellent sportsmanship.

SMILE SQUAD

Just a reminder to all families that we have the Smile Squad at the moment. The Smile Squad delivers free oral health promotion, dental check-ups and treatment to Victorian Government school students at school. If you would like your child to access the smile squad then please refer to the compass post that was sent out last week for more information or the flyer attached below, we also have paper copies at the desk if you need.

MOTHER’S DAY

Next Friday we will have our Mother’s Day stall and our special Mother’s Day afternoon. We would love to have as many Mums attend the Mother’s Day event as it is a great opportunity to celebrate all the wonderful mums that are part of our school community.

We hope you all have a fantastic weekend and look forward to all of the exciting upcoming events that are happening in Term 2.

Kind Regards

Shane & Felicity
