Parent Teacher Student Interviews
We have come to the end of another tough term for learning; however it was wonderful to communicate with our parents/carers last week through the interview process.
If you did not manage to book an interview last week to discuss the progress of your child, teachers are always happy for you to contact them directly through PAM.
Wishing everyone a restoring break from remote learning these school holidays.

Keeping Healthy in Remote Learning
The Trinity College HPE department is running an optional "Power to the Holidays" competition.
They are challenging students to either run (under 8 min per km), ride or walk (over 8 min km) as far as they can before the school holidays and see who can go the furthest in each discipline!
Mental health, immune systems, sleep patterns and energy levels are all reliant on one another and lockdowns have caused many of these to be neglected. So this challenge aims to get the exercise going and start improving health.
It's simple - all students need to do is track their exercise each time they go and add it to the tracking system. Students have received instructions on how to do this.
Prizes will be awarded so please encourage your child to get up and get moving!
With one week to go the leaders were:
RUN STUDENTS: 1st 10A Tom F 45.5km; 2nd 9C Clint G 32.02km; 3rd 10D Thea C 26km. RUN STAFF: 1st Michael 27.47km; 2nd Jane 21.72km. RIDE STUDENTS: 1st 10D Claudia S 76.74km; 2nd 10C Simon D 63.98km; 3rd 10A Shakira S 36.86km. RIDE STAFF: 1st Ryan 107.24km; 2nd Jane 15.98km. WALK STUDENTS: 1st 10B Sidney M 125.6km; 2nd 10C Rory L 82.25km; 3rd 9A Lily G 41.4km. WALK STAFF: 1st Jess 85.5km; 2nd Michael 70.9km.
Please use the Crossings
Can all families please be mindful of traffic safety around the school zone in peak times when school resumes.
It is incredibly busy at the start and end of the school day and we do not want to see anyone injured.
We are witnessing students crossing Pound Road in the bus zone and to the west of there at peak times, which creates a real safety issue.
Any student being dropped off along Pound Road on the south side should go up to the school crossing for safety and to set an example for the younger students in the area.
Students are also reminded that if you are walking to school from the east or the south to use the crossings provided and stay away from the congested roads, particularly in the area of the roundabout on Hart Street.
Thank you for your co-operation.
Food Bank Volunteers
As you may be aware at times throughout the year, some families of our school are in need of help for one reason or another. One way our school helps these families is offering a meal or two.
We are calling on families who may be able to assist in preparing a meal for a family in need. If you could help that would be fantastic.
Listed below are some suggestion to make it easier for us all. The idea is the family can reheat something easy to put on the table quickly. Mostly it’s to ensure the children of the family are getting something good to eat.
Suggestions: Soup, Sausage Rolls, Quiche, Spaghetti Bolognese, Chicken Pasta, Casserole, Pasta Bake, Stir-fry, Chow Mein, Fried Rice.
You can also make anything else you would like as long as the meal can be reheated. If you have time you may also like to make a cake, slice or biscuits to send along with your meal pack. Foil trays and disposable containers are the best way to pack your prepared meal.
If you think you may be able to assist when needed please email cgrist@tcc.vic.edu.au
