Elachbutting Excursion

On 28th October, the years 3-6 students went for an excursion to Elachbutting Rock. They were treated to Whispie Bayly’s expertise in the environment and ecosystems present at the iconic landmark. After a visit to the wave and through Monty’s Pass the students went to the top of the rock and discussed the incredible ecosystems that survive up there. It was an amazing day. A huge thank you to everyone involved, especially Whispie Bayly, Allison Nixon, Cheryl Palm, Christine Bowron, Sarah-Kate Graham, Mel Hobbs and our wonderful bus drivers, Jess Collins and Tony Taylor.

Brilliant Brains

This week saw the last Brilliant Brains session. We celebrated with a Christmas theme. We enjoyed decorating reindeer biscuits, searching for shapes, making popcorn snowman cups, finding magnetic bells, balancing baubles and playing games. At the end, we were presented with our certificates and gifted a book. A big thank you to all businesses that donated to Brilliant Bains this year (Bendigo Bank, Graincorp, Dr Olat, Muka IGA, ANZ). We value and appreciate your support. A big thank you to my amazing helpers Allison Nixon and Joan Hobbs.

Thank you again to Mrs Lamond for another successful BB program. It is so beneficial to our 3-year-olds, as they get to know the school environment, their peers, the structure and they are learning and having fun at the same time. We look forward to seeing them in Kindy next year!

In Brilliant Brains on 31st October the children explored everything ocean. They caught fish, weighed and measured sea animals, dissolved ice, saved animals from jelly, and made jellyfish.

Remembrance Day

We were honoured to host a Remembrance Day Service at MDHS on Friday 11th November. Many thanks to our Emergency Services Cadets Unit and Mr Roberts who officiated this service. Thanks to Ev Comerford for the crocheted poppies which looked lovely. #wewillrememberthem.
