From the Principal
Our Vision
Each child has a gift or talent. It is our job to find it and to show it to them.
Our Mission
Identify the talent, develop the confidence and create the leader.
What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?
Working Bee Thank You
Last Wednesday, parents came to weed garden beds, pathways and concrete cracks. The soft-fall (mulch) was raked back under the play equipment to maintain safe levels. Thank you to all who participated. The grounds looked great.
Leadership Morning
Last week we held our first leadership morning. This was an opportunity for students and staff to showcase how they practice the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and develop leadership skills. Over sixty visitors attended and experienced presentations, performances, a school tour and morning tea. Teachers and principals from Parktone, Clayton South and Williamstown Primary Schools were among the guests. The students shone. In 2023, leadership mornings are scheduled for term 1 and 2.
Family Picnic Night
It was a fine sight to see the school oval covered in picnic blankets, families and friends. The mobile cafe served hungry visitors, and the Social and Fundraising Team drew the end-of-year raffle. The students gave outstanding singing performances and finished the last song as the rain fell and the temperature dropped 10 degrees, with the howling wind. Santa did not make it on the night however, the fire brigade visit was a hit.
Reports and Grade Lists Published Up-Date
On Monday December 12th student reports will be published on Compass. On Tuesday 13th , grade lists will be published, after the students gather in their new classrooms to spend time getting acquainted with their 2023 class members and teachers.
