Snowsports

The Victorian Interschools Snowsports Championships will be held at Mt Buller from 18-22 August 2025. The primary school competition is 18 & 19 August for skiers and 20 August for snowboarders.

Fyans Park Primary is considering entering a team this year.

The event isn’t limited to expert skiers and previous race experience isn’t necessary. If your child can confidently ski or snowboard a blue run, they can represent their school on the slopes and have a lot of fun.

Please note: parents must travel with their children and be able to supervise them before and after competition.

More information can be found here:  https://www.interschools.com.au/home-victoria

If you are interested, please contact Elise Van Ooi via elise.vanooi@education.vic.gov.au as soon as possible, so we can meet the event entry deadlines.

Premier’s Reading Challenge 2025

The Premier’s Reading is well underway now, with many students in our school participating.

The challenge is a fun and engaging way to get children and their families involved with reading. It continues into next term, finishing on Friday September 5th.  

All students are encouraged to participate in the challenge. It’s a great initiative to support and foster positive reading habits. 

Already, students in our school have read close to 1000 books and 20 students have completed the challenge! Well done to those students and to everyone who has begun. We are half way through the challenge now and it is not too late to get involved! 

For more information, please visit the Premier’s Reading Challenge website, speak to your child’s class teacher or myself.

Asthma / Allergy / Anaphylaxis Action Plans

If you indicated on your child’s enrolment form that they experience asthma, allergic reaction or anaphylaxis, or they have been diagnosed since then, government legislation requires you to provide us with a current Action Plan (see examples below).  Please visit your medical practitioner for an up to date Action Plan and send along to the office.

Please ensure your child has their medication and any other device (eg. spacer) with them to better manage their symptoms.  If your medical practitioner has informed you that your child has grown out of their condition, they will need to provide a letter, on the Medical Practice letterhead, to the school stating such.

Thank you for your cooperation.
