Principal's Report

Dear Parents and Families, 

VICTORIAN HIGH ABILITY PROGRAM

On Monday, five of our students who have been participating in the VHAP in the area of Literacy, are travelling to Wallan to participate in a master class with students from across the region. George Ivanoff will share with the students, what it means to be an author and his inspirations. He will then give children time to write and discuss their work. This is a wonderful opportunity for them. Many thanks to Mel Calleja for being the nominated driver. The selection process for this program is facilitated by the Department. It is based on a combination of NAPLAN result and Teacher Judgement. 

TOOLAMBA SPORTS DAY

Next Friday 26th March, we will hold our Toolamba Athletics. Students will arrive at school as normal and then assemble in the amphitheatre at 9.10am. Students are encouraged to wear a T-shirt in their house colours. 

Goulburn – Blue

Hovell – White

Bayunga – Red

Parents and family members are welcome to attend for all or part of the day. This year the P & F have organised a coffee van, so don’t forget your wallet!  Verong Vittles will also be there with a food van from 12.30pm onwards. Flyers have been sent home so that families can pre order if they wish. Order forms and money are required to be back by Tuesday 23rd March. 

ATTENDANCE

The Department require all schools to have a spotlight on student attendance and ensure monitoring and response processes that will contribute to increasing attendance for all students are embedded in their school improvement processes. From this week onwards, we will be including an article on attendance. At the same time we are also being instructed to adhere to the guidelines around unwell staff members and students. If your child is unwell they are expected to remain at home. If students are unwell at school, teachers will contact you. 

LUNCH TIME GAMES

Our Junior School Council are to be commended upon their enthusiasm for organising Inside Games on Friday.
