Dear Families,
Term two has had a smooth start and I can’t believe we are halfway through! Similar to last term student wellbeing and support have been at the centre of our extracurricular activities. We are working hard to ensure all of our students feel supported.
The Journey of Hope program is working with grades 5A, 5C, and 4C this term. Classroom teachers are continuing their work around social and emotional development and well-being and we are constantly looking at different ways to engage our students further.
Our quiet space during recess and lunchtime has continued to be popular. To support students further we have also added a few lunchtime clubs this term:
Wednesdays- Primary school Pride Club
Photography and Animation Club
Thursdays- Board games in the library
Friday- Indoor soccer coaching
We are also super excited to have a Collingwood football club player come in on Wednesday lunchtime for the last 4 weeks of term two to run AFL coaching club. These sessions will run on the front oval for Primary school students.
We do have a few community events coming up as well as public holidays and student-free days. Please see below in regard to these dates.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you.

Class 4C - Norse Mythology
Class 4C Steiner have been immersed in the tales of Norse Mythology. Delving into the world of giants and the gods of Asgard, the children have been learning about writing interesting and dramatic conversations. They have also been sculpting and drawing scenes from the stories.
Dance Performance
As part of the primary Performing Arts main program students from prep to 6 choreographed their own dance pieces to world music. Students performed for their families and classmates. The students were amazing.
Animation Project
During Term 2, years 5 to 8 students are working with animation artist Rali Beynon and photographer James Henry.
Students have already brainstormed some amazing ideas. The product will be presented as part of the Gertrude Street in Fitzroy Projection Festival.
Kindly supported by Creative Victoria.
