As we enter the final two weeks of the year and all students are finishing the courses and then undertaking the transition program for the coming year, I ask that all students stay on track to get Cycle 6 CAT’s completed on time.

All of our Year 9 students are undertaking their core class exams on December the 3rd and 4th and hopefully all students remember the skills they learnt from the Elevate Program and work with their teachers on the revision process to achieve results that they will be proud of.

Alpine School Fundraiser

I would like to congratulate our 5 students who attended the Alpine School this year and completed their Community Leadership Project. We had a very special evening on Tuesday the 27th November. Due to inclement weather on the horizon we moved indoors. The night began with the information from Cathy who spoke about the Chrisalis Foundation that was created to help resource and support individuals with disabilities and their immediate families, also to build their potential to live a harmonious and fulfilling life in Victoria. We then went outside and ran a few games, including the cream pie throwing contest at three fantastic teachers who volunteered their time. Thank-you Mrs Helen James, Mr Ben Sheperd and Miss Gemma McMahon.

The event then continued inside and it was great to see so many Year 9’s playing music and singing and supporting each other. The Alpine students were so happy to see their fellow students from the Alpine school who live in Shepparton, arrive and a big catch-up took place.

Thankyou to all parents who supported the students on the night and Mr Smith for allowing the opportunity for students in our community to shine with a different program. I would also like to thank Mrs Helen James who visited the students at Dinner Plain.

It was a pleasure working with Sarah T, Miranda D, Lachlan P, Spencer P, Matt G this year. You should be very proud of your achievements both at the Alpine School and with the Community Project at our school.
