Year Two Mont De Lancey Excursion
In Week 8, Year Two students will be visiting Mont De Lancey which is a historical homestead located in Wandin North. Students will need to arrive at school at 8:45am on the day of their excursion, please ensure your students are on time to avoid them missing out!
On the excursion we will visit the museum, watch a Blacksmith at work, look through an old house and play some olden day games. We will attend an olden day school on the premises with a very strict teacher!
Over the next couple of weeks, please start thinking about what your child can wear to this excursion because we are asking for all children and parent helpers to be dressed up in olden days clothes eg. shawl, long dress/ skirt, shirt (with braces), shorts or knee length socks with shoes if you don't want to wear boots. It will be cold so remember to dress warmly. Please refer to the attached document for examples of what students can wear.
Remember to pack a water bottle, snack and lunch are required too in a small backpack.
Wear it Yellow: Fundraising for the Children's Ground Organisation
This year VPS is excited to take part in Wear it Yellow day. On Friday the 7th of June students can wear something yellow to school to show their support for creating a bright future for First Nations Children and families. If your child is wearing free dress, they are required to bring a gold coin donation to help this cause. We look forward to seeing the students and staff all dressed up in yellow!
