COMMUNITY SPORTING ACHIEVEMENTS

Congratulations to Caden H (3MH) who earned his Yellow Belt (6 kyu).

Awesome to see your hard work is continuing to pay off! Well done, Caden!

Congratulations to Tenace H (1KO) who last weekend, not only played his first game for the Greenhills Beavers, but even scored 2 goals before half time and got Player of the Match.

Keep on shooting for the stars! Well done, Tenace!

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 our Newsletter. It is important to celebrate and recognise such successes with the school community.

Thank you,

OFFICE NEWS

Attendance

Students must be accounted for every school day. If your child is not present in class and we have no explanation, then we will automatically send all family members an email at 10am. If you receive an email, it is important that you explain their absence ASAP. If your child is going to be away, please notify the school by entering the absence on Compass (this can be done in advance, or explained after). You can do this easily in the Compass app or on the website. If your child is going to be absent for a long period, an email should be sent requesting this leave to James Penson: james.penson@education.vic.gov.au

Student Arrival/Departure

If you need to collect your child early for an appointment, please come to the office to sign them out. Due to relevant school policies, we are unable to have students waiting in the office, so please allow time to sign out and collect from the classroom (the office will advise if they are in a Specialist class). Please collect your child before or after recess and lunch times as they may not hear the announcements during recess and lunchtime. If your child arrives at school after 9.00am (after the morning bell has finished) they must come to the office for a late pass. Please do not send students straight to their classroom after 9.00am.

OHS Volunteer Induction

We have a number of ways parents/carers can help at Greenhills. Eg, classroom helper, Excursions, BBQ’s, Canteen etc. To assist in any way this year, you must complete the 2024 OHS Volunteer Induction. You are required to have a current Working with Children’s Check. Note this needs to be completed on a Yearly basis.

NEXT DATES:

Monday 12th of February 9am

Tuesday 13th of February 3.10pm

Friday 16th of February 9am

Staff Car Park

The staff car park is not available for parents to drop off and pick up children between 8am and 4pm (this includes dropping off at Choir rehearsal). Please use the council-provided parking facilities at the front of the school. For the safety of all, please do not walk children through the staff car park.

Thankyou,

The Office Team.

CANTEEN

"Welcome to everyone"

Canteen lunch orders are available on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. They can be ordered via QKR up until 9am on the day or can be via an envelope with the child's name, class, order and money handed in to the office.

There are a variety of items that can be purchased at the canteen window and this now includes Sakata cheese stars at 50c a packet. This item is gluten free.

Keep an eye out - Moosies are coming back and there will be more details next week about them!

If you have a child with a food allergy, you are welcome to come to the canteen and check out what there is or if you have a suggestion for the canteen, please let me know.

Helpers Needed

If you have a spare hour on a Wed, Thurs or Fri between 1pm and 2pm, come along and help in the canteen. There is no food preparation involved, it's very simple and the kids love seeing parents there!

You need to have completed the Volunteer Induction, and sign up through CareBookings - www.carebookings.com.au - access code is JGU9L.

Helpers get a canteen voucher for their kids to use for their next lunch order!

From,

Miriam
