Japanese Theme Day

The Scotsburn campus students will be joining the Buninyong campus students at Buninyong for the annual Japanese Theme Day this Friday 4th May. The Scotsburn staff and students will be spread among the classes at Buninyong for a variety of fun learning activities. We’ll meet in the courtyard from 8.45am.

ANZAC Day Services

It was great to see so many students at the ANZAC Day service last Wednesday. The significance of the day is being passed down through the generations which is wonderful.

Help Needed

The Specialist School Farm have kindly offered to donate four new chickens to our campus. If there are any parents that would like to pick them up for us, that would be AMAZING. If you are able, please let Mr O or Miss Wood know this week. The FARM is located at 800 Norman St, Invermay Park, Ballarat. The school is open from 7am onwards.

Book Fair

The book fair will be on in the library from Thursday 26th April – Thursday 3rd May. Please drop into the library before or after school to pick yourself up some bargains.

Gymnastics

The P-2 Gymnastics program gets underway this week (Wednesday 2nd May). This is always something that the students look forward to. It will run for 5 weeks. Please ensure all payments and permission notes are returned ASAP.

Debating Support

Debating has been a huge part of the Scotsburn campus and a wonderful opportunity for students to develop their public speaking skills. With Sharon Davis and Natasha Adam now not at the campus, we are searching for a couple of parents who can assist Ms Geddes in this important and valuable opportunity. Please see Ms Geddes if you would like to become involved.
