Year 2 Willum Warrain Aboriginal Excursion - Mon. 27th March
This term in Inquiry the Grade 2 students are learning about the history of our local area including events how people's lives and the area around us has changed over time. To support this learning and also the learning during Indigenous Studies we have planned an excursion to the Willum Warrain Aboriginal Association. Here we will participate in a guided tour, giving the children a cultural experience of our local area. After lunch we will also take a short stroll along the Hastings foreshore before returning back to school. We are looking forward to a fun and educational day out!

As part of our Health and Physical Education Curriculum the Middle & Senior School children will be participating in a swimming program at Core24. As this is an integral part of the Health and Physical Education Program and is a high priority of the government for all primary aged children to learn to swim, it is an expectation that all students attend the swimming program. They will be assessed for the Royal Life Victorian Water Safety Certificate.
* The children will attend the pool for 6 sessions on the following dates: Tuesday 28th March to Wednesday 5th April 2023 (excluding Friday 31st March).* Session times will be running all day, starting at 9am.
