Adrian is wanting to hear from any singer songwriters who would like to have their music played by the band and get the chance to work with the band to develop their music. The plan is to have many students' songs developed, performed and recorded, in the hope of possibly creating a 2021 album. Please email karoline.kuti@preshil.vic.edu.au if you are interested.

School photos 

Photos for the whole school will take place on Friday 26 February, commencing at 9am. There will not be a 'catch up' photo day this year so it is important that your child attends on this day. Individual student photos will automatically generate a student ID card; these are Public Transport Victoria (PTV) approved and are at no cost. 

Chess: a mind game that stimulates brain development

Chess Club for Term 1 resumes after school on 4 February at the Primary School, and an invitation has been extended to any secondary student who would like to join in. Lessons are run by International Master and Director of Chess Australia, Leonid Sandler.
