DONATIONS
We have been overwhelmed by the generosity of our school community with donations of Milo and items for our Traf Pantry. It clearly shows what a kind and caring school community we are part of.
FRESH FRUIT IN CLASSROOMS
Our second delivery of fresh fruit has arrived this term and all classrooms have been provided with a box of apples.
THE TRAF PANTRY
We have established The Traf Pantry to support families in our school community who may be in need of a little extra help. Whether it be on a weekly basis or a one off need, we are here to support you. All items are free to take and have been provided by Foodbank.
If you have any items you would like to contribute, please advise our lovely office staff.
Our Traf Pantry is located just past the school office. Shopping bags are provided. Our stock will be continually replenished so please only take what you need with each visit.
Lost Property
We have an incredibly large amount of lost property, as you can see here. If your child is missing any uniform please feel free to pop in and look through our lost property cupboard.

Trafalgar High School Bus Loop
For the safety of all children from Trafalgar Primary School & Trafalgar High School we ask that parents/carers DO NOT use the High School bus loop as a roundabout, or thoroughfare, it is clearly marked with signage on the road and the fence when approaching. Trafalgar High School have staff on bus duty from 8:15 am until the last and from 3:25 pm – 4:05 pm when the last bus departs. We thank you in advance and appreciate your cooperation.
Instrumental Music Update
Rockfest
This year the Trafalgar Primary School music department is entering bands in Rockfest once again. Rockfest is a national battle of the bands that is running digitally again this year. Videos of the bands playing live are sent to Cranbourne Music who post them on their Rockfest Australia Youtube channel for the public to listen to, like and comment on.
So far we have 3 bands entered:
The Blueberries - Primary Band 2022
The Blueberries - Zombie (The Cranberries)
River , Bryn , Dion , Quinn , and Oscar
6 Big Men - Seven Nation Army (The White Stripes)
Phoenix , William , Josh , Aiden , Lincoln , and Tyler
Blaze Rods - Primary Band 2022
Blaze Rods - Bones (Imagine Dragons)
Addisson , Reid , Oscar , Luke , and Bryn
The school can win prizes that are both judged by Cranbourne Music and by public popularity. Therefore, if you could take the links above their photos and give the bands a like and comment on Youtube if you think they deserve it that would be much appreciated by the students and myself.
One of our bands made the national finals last year and I have high hopes for a good result again this year.

Game On Recycling
Game On Recycling is a pilot program that aims to create a national recycling scheme for sports equipment. That means rather than being thrown into landfills, tennis balls, inflates (basketballs, volleyballs, soccer balls, etc) and snow sports equipment will be recycled.
Benefits of a sustainable approach to managing sporting goods include: reduction in the size of landfills, conserving natural resources, generating employment opportunities in the recycling sector and more.
Learn more here Game On Recycling
Trafalgar High School has been listed as a collection point for used and damaged sporting goods to be recycled.
We have decided to join in by setting up a collection bin at our school for students and families to donate. So, if you have any old sporting equipment at home, bring it along to be recycled.
