COMMUNITY SPORTING ACHIEVEMENTS

Congratulations to Poppy F (6BS) and her Eltham Netball Club teammates, who won their Grand Final last weekend, becoming the 13&Under Division 2 Champions!

Well done, Poppy! 💪🏼

Congratulations to Mae N (3MH) for earning her 10 PB Ribbon at Little Athletics! She is the first girl this season at Greenbriar to achieve this incredible milestone—and all in her very first season of Little Athletics too.

Well done, Mae! 💪🏼

If your child achieves something special (grand final win, most valuable player award, best and fairest etc.), please email me (jordan.daley@education.vic.gov.au) through photos and an overview of the achievement to post in Contact.

OFFICE NEWS

SCHOOL SAVING BONUS

School Saving Bonus code email issue

The distribution of School Saving Bonus emails to parents and carers, to provide a unique code to use for the $400 credit, started on Tuesday 26 November 2024.

Due to restrictions imposed by Microsoft, parents and carers with email accounts provided by a Microsoft exchange server, or who use an Outlook or Hotmail account, have likely experienced delays in receiving their code email.

We have worked directly with Microsoft to resolve this issue and have re-sent the code to impacted email addresses.

Please encourage parents and carers who have not received their code email to re-check their email accounts, including junk or spam folders.
