From the Principal

Wow...we are halfway through Term 4 already. The year is really flying along. 

This Wednesday (tomorrow), we commence our Years 2 to 6 Swimming Program. Students will be bussed to the Ballarat Aquatic Centre for their 45-minute lessons, each Wednesday for the next 5 week. At the end of the program, we will hold our annual House Swimming Sports. 

A huge thankyou to those parents who attended last night Big Sister Experience Parent Information Night. From the feedback we received, it was a very informative evening. We will be sharing the resources provided with our school community in the next newsletter.  

Next week, the teachers will commence their end-of-year assessments. Students will take part of several assessments aligned with their literacy and numeracy learning. These tests will guide our end-of-year reports. Students should not feel nervous or threatened by these assessments, they are simply to let us know what they have achieved this year, and each child's achievement will be different to the next. 

Also, next week, the Year 3 to 6 students will commence their annual Bike Ed program. Students are asked to bring a working bicycle to school for the 2-week program. Students who do not own a bike are welcome to borrow one of the school's bikes.  Bikes may be left at school for the duration of the program. Information regarding the 3/4 Challenge Day and 5/6 Raglan Ride will be coming home shortly.

Next week, Miss Radford commences her long service leave and preparations for her wedding. We wish her and Sam all the best for their big day. We can't wait to see the photos and hear all about it when she returns.
