Message From Miss Humphries

Well done to all our students at Upwey South Primary School for a wonderful Term Three. It has been nice to have one term a little bit shorter, but we have all displayed our school values and consistently worked hard to complete expected task. 

We have seen many great events happening through this term: Year Five/Six camp, Year Three/Four camp, ICAS assessments, Aerobics Nationals, Division AFL, District and Division Athletics, Book Week activities, VSSS dance event and our Robocup robotics competition. What fantastic extra curricular activities our students can be part of at USPS. 

With such a busy term and our students all working hard, I'd like to pass on our thanks to all parents and carers, who have conitnued to support our school and all we celebrate. You have endlessly supported your chidren to reach greatness. I hope you all have a wonderful break over the school holidays.

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri elders, past, present and emerging for sharing this land that we teach, connect and learn upon. 

We continue to walk together to make a stronger future for this land we call home.

We greatly appreciate the elders for taking care of this amazing country.

Whole School Reward System

Have you seen our lyrebirds in the foyer? During the term, these lyrebirds will gain more and more feathers depending on how each house is placed in the whole school house point reward system. The more feathers the more points your house has achieved during the term. Below is a photo of where the houses are placed. Well done Waratah, you are in front at the moment. We still have many weeks in the term to gain more points and more feathers.

Lets work together to get the birds growing.
