A Big Thank You Scotsburn!!!

We made it! We have come to the end of another busy term full of learning, concert, fun and excitement. From the Scotsburn staff we want to say a massive thank you to each and every one of our wonderful students, for making each day a joy to be at school. We also must give a huge thanks to our parent community, who continue to provide us with unwavering support and assistance. To make Scotsburn the place it is, it takes a team consistently working in a united direction, and we are so appreciative of all that everyone does. 

We hope that everyone can enjoy a safe and happy break, and we look forward to seeing everyone at the commencement of Term Four!

Celebration of Learning - Wednesday September 18

This Wednesday 18 September, Scotsburn will host our Term three Celebration of Learning. This will take place at the Scotsburn Campus, between 5:00pm and 7:00pm.

The purpose of this evening is to provide students with the opportunity to reflect on their goals and learning, celebrating their amazing learning achievements with their parents and carers. It also provides a wonderful opportunity for our parents and carers to get a firsthand insight into what their child is getting up to in all areas of their schooling.

Over the night, students and parents will be able to walk in and out of all learning spaces, which will be showcasing lots of different learning that has taken place this term/year. There will also be the opportunity for parents, guardians and students to participate in some interactive activities. 

The campus will be running a BBQ on the night, $2:50 per sausage. Make sure to come and grab a snag or two!

We would love all families and students to attend, we can’t wait to see you there!

Japan Trip

We can’t wait to hear all about the Japan trip when Mrs Morgan, Savannah and Rhylee return later this week. It was so exciting to watch the live feed last Friday, where all Buninyong students visited our sister school, Toyohama Elementary. If you are yet to have a look, check out the blog, which includes lots of photos and daily updates.

Home Reading

A huge thank you to all our families that have continued to support our reading at home connection with their child. We have been blown away with how many nights students are reading, and the effort and responsibility students are committing to, ensuring they meet our term target by filling in their diaries and bringing them into school. Our Term three target was 100 nights of reading, and our stretch goal was 150 nights. We will be celebrating this Friday 20 September, after our whole school assembly on return to Scotsburn with a reward afternoon and small treat. 

Whole School Assembly - Friday 20 September

This Friday 20 September (last day of term), the Scotsburn Campus will be joining the Buninyong Campus students and staff for an end of term whole school assembly at Buninyong. This means that as usual, we will start the day at the Buninyong Campus, meeting in the courtyard at 8:45am. We will then bus back up to Scotsburn at 1:00pm to finish the day as per normal routine. A reminder that school will conclude at 2:30pm for the end of term. 

On Friday, students are also invited to come dressed in their favourite team colours. Usually, students are asked to bring a gold coin donation on casual dress days to support a good cause. 

On footy/sports colours day, we encourage students to collect as many 5cent coins as they can, as 5cent coins have become synonymous with Mphatso. This is how much it costs to provide a bowl of porridge to a student each day at school. For many of the children, this is the only food they will have for the day. 

Concert USBs and Class Photos

If you haven’t already, don’t forget to order a recording of the concert (on USB) or class photos.  If previous concerts are anything to go by, many of our students will love watching themselves and others in the concert … many times over.  Simply go to Qkr by Friday this week to purchase a class photo or USB. 

Holiday Animal Care

With the holidays fast approaching, we would like to put out the invitation to any families who would be interested in taking home Pip the lizard for the break, as well as assist with the feeding of our chickens and collection of eggs. If you think your family may be able to assist with either of these tasks over the break, please pop in and see Jarrod this week.
