Excellence Tickets

During this term we will be introducing a revamped 'Excellence Tickets' program.  Teachers have been equipped with tickets that they can to distribute to students who demonstrate positive behaviour in the classroom. 

 

Every Monday, form representatives will collect all tickets and the lucky winners will see their names posted on Compass.   They can then come to the Junior School Office and collect a prize. 

 

 

 

Principals Awards

 

Term 4, also sees the introduction of Principal’s Awards. Throughout the term students will be nominated by their teachers to receive a Principals Award and will be rewarded with a certificate. This is a fantastic award and recognises those who continuously work diligently in the classroom.

Students with queries about the excursion should see their Geography teacher or Mr Hodder in Staffroom 1.

 

Students are reminded that they will need to bring a packed lunch on the day, as there will NOT be an opportunity to purchase food.  Full school uniform is also required.

About the Museum

 

The Immigration Museum explores the stories of real people from all over the world who have migrated to Victoria.

 

Located in the Old Customs House in the heart of the city, the museum re-creates the real-life stories of coming to Australia with a rich mix of moving images, personal and community voices, memories and memorabilia.

 

From the reasons for making the journey, to the moment of arrival in a new country, and the impact on indigenous communities, these stories are sometimes sad, sometimes funny, but always engaging.

 

The result is a thought-provoking and moving experience.

 

 

Immunisations

A reminder that Year 8 students who have provided consent forms will be receiving immunisations for diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (whooping cough) on Thursday  22 October, during Periods 3 and 4.

 

Spare consent forms can be obtained from the Junior School Office.                                           

 

Student Achievement

Congratulations to Lee Taylor  (8.63)  for placing 3rd in the 1500 walk  at the Eastern Metropolitan Region Athletics at Knox.
