JOIN US AT BREAKFAST CLUB: MONDAY, WEDNESDAY & FRIDAY
This term our Breakfast Club program has returned to the space at the side of the music room. It will continue to be a grab and go service offering fruit, milk, packets of cereal and now....toast!
The program operates from 8.35am—8.50am Monday, Wednesday and Friday—yes, just 15 minutes, but enough time to grab and eat on the way to class. Ms Naomi McMaster organises the program. We would love to have the help of some more volunteers, especially now that we will be cooking toast. If you think you could help to cook toast for 15 minutes on any of the mornings, please email me (debraanne.haddow@education.vic.gov.au ). You would just need to have your Working With Children Check and complete the Child Safe Training—as every volunteer does. Please let us know if you’d like to join our team.
Please let the well-being hub know if you can use the Cadet boots shown below.

Attendance We will continue to look closely at our attendance data and support students who may have trouble with regular attendance. Weekly meetings are offered to support students and families.
We also have weekly meetings with the families of students on Behaviour Support Plans so we can work together to understand situations happening and how we can best support the student to make great choices.
At the final assembly of Term 2, we will announce and celebrate Term 2 student attendance. These students will receive a special certificate.
Hats Just a reminder that we are an accredited Sunsmart school. This means students are strongly encouraged to wear their broad brimmed school hat or stay in the shade. From September until May, no hat means no play. UV rays increase in intensity from September—these are what burn the especially sensitive skin of children—even on cloudy days.
No Dogs On School Grounds Please We are fortunate enough to have Bella, our school Therapy Dog, on site 3 days a week. She has gone through extensive training to make it safe and permissible for her to be on the school grounds. She wears a Therapy Dog vest so you can clearly see that she is a trained Therapy Dog.
Unfortunately, other dogs are NOT permitted on the school grounds. It is unsafe for the students as untrained dogs can be unpredictable, some students have a fear of dogs, and the mess left can be a problem.
We have signs on our fences to show that dogs are not permitted on our school grounds. Could you please help us keep our students safe by ensuring that you do not bring your dog onsite.
