OUTER EAST KESO TEAM NEWSLETTER
MELBOURNE WRITERS FESTIVAL
We're running an excursion to this year's Melbourne Writers Festival at the Capitol Theatre on Thursday 8 September for students in Years 7 - 10.
The English department has heavily subsidised the event to make it as affordable as possible for families. It's a fabulous opportunity to hear established authors explain their process and tell their story.
Places are strictly limited, so make sure you register your interest by email to: Robert.Webb@education.vic.gov.au
Once registered, the event will show up on Compass for payment and consent. This is due by 8 August. You can use CSEF to pay for it.
For more information about the festival, visit the MWF website.
UNEXPLAINED ABSENCES
We ask all parents and carers to please assist us to fulfil our legal attendance obligations and approve unexplained absences on Compass for 2022.
It is DET (Department of Education and Training) policy that all student absences are accounted for.
If it is expected that your child will be away for more than two days, please communicate this with the relevant Sub School Office.
If you have forgotten your Compass username and password, please contact the Sub School Assistants.
