Principal Report

SOMERS CAMP

Overall we received 42 expressions of interest from grade 5 and 6 students to attend Somers Camp in July.  Whilst it’s fabulous we have some many students keen to go, it does make the selections side of things challenging, remembering we only have places for 8 boys and 8 girls.

The selection process is almost complete and we’ll be catching up with the relevant students in the next couple of days to communicate the outcome.  Each will have a note to take home confirming that outcome.

School Concert

Our School Concert is coming up on August 22-24 which is very exciting.  Pop those dates in your diary to avoid double booking yourself.  The concert is a fantastic community event that provides our students with a great experience whilst raising significant funds for our school.  The 2016 concert raised $19,000 and we expect a similar result this time round.  Targets for the funding will be as follows:

• Scotsburn Campus
  • Upgrade of the student toilets
• Buninyong Campus
  • Replacing the shade sail over the grade 5/6 adventure playground
  • Improvements to the canteen

The theme for this year’s concert is ‘A Night at the Library – Where Books Come to Life’ and our Fundraising/Concert Team will meet regularly between now and August to organise the event.  A reminder to our parent members on that team that we have our next meeting on May 9th (3:45 in the meeting room). 

For everyone else, please keep your ear to the ground for opportunities to get involved and help out.
