Principal's Report

Welcome to new staff

We recently added some new staff to our team. Zeinab and Con as teachers in our Year 5/6 team, Carly as one of our Visual Art Teachers. 

We are putting together a photo page to share with you so you know who our staff are.

Our House Spirt

We began working with Our House Spirit in Term 1 this year. Our House Spirit works with schools and in particular student leaders to implement fun and engaging activities for students and the school community. Last term our student leaders worked with the team from Our House Spirit to welcome Preps to their House colour. They created key rings with them that can be attached to their school bag. This term the team is organising a House colour day, our students are looking forward to putting on this special day for our students. You can read and view more about Our House Spirit in the link below.  

New Building

Work on our new building will begin next term in September. Below you will find a link to some of the architects drawings of the building. The building will be completed at the end of 2024 ready for use in 2025. The building consists of 8 classrooms, 2 STEM rooms and a large library which can also be used as a meeting space for teachers and for parent sessions. The building also has a number of meeting spaces for teachers to access.

This building is part of the Department of Education's new school expansion project.

Playground, Paths, Walkways, Garden and Musical Instruments

Architects have completed the drawings and design for our Our new playground and this has gone out to tender. We are hoping that the playground, paths, walkways and garden near the sandpit and musical instruments in the learning street will be completed by the end of next term. This project was funded by the Department of Education's Inclusive Schools Fund. 

New Paths

New temporary paths are being installed to reduce the amount of mud around the school. These paths will link our Year 5/6 doubly storey building across to the gym and performing arts  area and provide access for students during recess and lunch to navigate to and from the canteen, basketball courts and oval. This will also help for families who access the car park at the softball ground. A gig thank you to Ian and Luigi, our maintenance staff who worked on this project.

Somers Camp

Recently our Year 5/6 teacher Ella and Year 5/6 students attended the Department of Education's 9 day Somers Camp. Somers Camp is a camp partially funded by the Department of Education for students in State Schools in Victoria. This camp is offered to students in Year 5/6 in our area every 2 years. Up to 20 students from our school can go each time it is offered. The next camp for our school will be in 2025. We thank Ella for given up so much of her personal time to support our students, Congratulations to our students for their excellent behaviour and for showing our school values throughout their time at camp.

Assembly

Assembly is held every 2nd Thursday morning at 9am in our gym, The Golden Sun Centre. Our next Assembly is on Thursday June 8.
