Week 3 Greeting
It’s hard to believe how quickly the weather has been changing lately! One moment we’re enjoying sunshine, and the next we’re reaching for our jackets. As we move through these unpredictable spring days, I’d like to remind everyone to take care of themselves and their families. Please make sure students are dressed appropriately for the weather each day, and for those windy afternoons, keep hats and jackets handy. Families of children with asthma should take extra care on windy days, as pollen and dust levels can rise quickly. 気候の変化が著しい昨今ですが、皆様いかがお過ごしでしょうか。メルボルン特有の日中の気温差に体調を崩している方々も多いのではないでしょうか。適度な運動、十分な睡眠や栄養のある食事をとって、体調管理には気をつけたいですね。強風の日には空気中の埃や花粉の量が急上しますので、喘息を患っているお子様にはご注意ください。
Intra School Session
Following the success of our intra-school transition sessions introduced last year, we are thrilled to continue this wonderful initiative again this term. Prior to last year, our Meet the Teacher Day was the only opportunity for students to experience a transition activity. However, after seeing how positively students responded, we have expanded our approach to include a series of sessions that allow our current Prep–Year 5 students to spend time with their 2026 cohort in their future learning spaces. Please note that the groups students are placed in during these sessions are not their final classes for next year. Our younger students in Prep and Year 1 have thoroughly enjoyed sharing reading activities together, while our older students have had great fun participating in a variety of outdoor sporting games. Our next session will take place next Friday, and we will have a whole-school lunch on Friday 28 November where students will enjoy eating outdoors with their 2026 cohort—a fantastic opportunity to build friendships and confidence for the year ahead. 昨年から取り入れた学校内でのトランジッションセッションについてのお知らせです。以前は年度末のMeet the Teacher Dayをトランジッションの機会としておりましたが、昨年よりそれに加えて４学期に数回のセッションを行いました。本日その１回目が行われ、生徒達はドキドキワクワクしながら来年の教室に向かいました。トランジッションセッション中のグループは、来年のクラスではないですので、ご了承いただけますと幸いです。このセッションでは、現在のプレップと１年生は、１・２年生の教室で本読みを、現在の２・３年生、４・５年生は外でスポーツのアクティビティをしました。このセッションは来週の金曜日にもあります。また最後のセッションである全校ランチは１１月２８日にあります。これは、全校が同じ時間に外に出て、来年の学年ごとに同じ場所に座ってランチを食べるアクティビティです。（特別なランチを準備いただく必要はございません。）

These will be updated on the Website early next week.
Snapshots from the Classroom
In this week’s Snapshot from the Classroom, both highlights come from our outdoor learning spaces. In Physical Education, Miss Molloy invited a Taekwondo instructor to lead sessions where students learnt a range of new skills and exercises associated with the sport. The students were highly engaged and enthusiastic as they explored the discipline and movement involved. Miss Molloy has also been busy organising our Jump Rope for Heart activities, encouraging students to pick up a skipping rope whenever they can. The atmosphere this morning was absolutely fantastic, with many of our parents and teachers joining in to skip alongside the students. A big thank you to Miss Molloy for her energy, creativity, and for helping our students stay active and have fun! 今週の教室からの風景は両方とも屋外教室である体育の授業です。モロイ先生がテコンドウのインストラクターを招き、生徒達に様々な技を披露してもらいました。迫力のある動きに生徒達は夢中になっていました。またテコンドウに関係するエクササイズなども一緒に教えてくれました。モロイ先生は現在Jump Rope for Heartのイベントも担当しており、毎日生徒達にできるだけ縄跳びをするように呼びかけております。金曜日の朝には、保護者の方々、教職員も一緒に縄跳びを飛んでいる光景を目にし、とてもいいスタートとなりました！
