From the Principal

Japanese Garden 

The Japanese garden is completed and looks fantastic.  The rocks that the students created as part of Harmony Week, have been installed into the garden to create a river affect.  Thank you to Jenny H for making the Tori gate which was installed last week and looks amazing.  Thank you also to Jon for designing and constructing the outdoor garden. 

 

Grade 5 Camp

The Grade 5 students left on Wednesday to attend Camp Campaspe.  The students participate in a range of outdoor activities over the 3 days. Camp provides the opportunity for children to connect with each other and have a break from technology for a few days. Thank you to the Grade 5 teachers and parents who attended the camp. 

 

100 days

The preps celebrated 100 days of school today.  Time flies by so quickly, it only seems like a few weeks ago the preps started school. The Foundation teachers have planned some great activities for the day and of course the teachers and foundation students dressed up representing 100.   Congratulations to our Foundation children on 100 days of school. 

 

Prep/Foundation Enrolments 2024 

Enrolments for 2024 are still open for Foundation/prep students.  Current families with a child/children commencing Prep in 2024, please ensure you fill out the enrolment form and return to the office.  All enrolments are due by tomorrow - Friday 28th July. 

 

Australian Mathematics Competition

We have several students from Grades 3-6 participating in the Australian Mathematics competition next week.  The AMC is an engaging 30-problem competition that demonstrates the importance of mathematics in students’ everyday lives. Thank you to Mr Blacklaw and Mr Bainbridge for organising this event. 

 

New Water Stations 

We are having 2 Hydrobank water stations installed into the main breezeway next Thursday.  The water stations have 3 drinking fountains and 3 bottle refill points, this will make it easier for children to refill a drink bottle. 

Thank you to PPA for funding one of the water stations.
