Mark Oakman's Remembrance Celebration

I am sure many of you are aware of Mark's passing. There will be a Remembrance Celebration held for him if you would like to attend. Please see flyer below for details.

St Anne's Marine Ambassadors

On Friday the 4 March our Grade 6 Marine Ambassadors had the opportunity to swim with the dolphins. They are part of a special group of children in Victoria participating in a Marine Ambassadors program. This program involves grade 6 leaders from across the state taking part in various excursions, exploring sustainability with a special focus on our waterways, wetlands, rivers and oceans. 

They had a fantastic time and were able to see a variety of sea life including dolphins, seals, a variety of fish and reef creatures. They represented St. Anne's very well and are looking forward to their next excursion later on this term.

Keep an eye out for the next instalment

Saver Plus

Congratulations on kicking off another school year! I’m sure it’s a very busy time, but I wanted to personally invite you to a new competition we are launching as part of Saver Plus’ annual Back To School campaign. By participating in the Schools 4 Saver Plus competition, your school could win a $2000 gift voucher for school supplies.

Saver Plus is a free financial education and matched savings program offered to lower-income families to help them budget and save for education costs. In the 10-month program, participants gain financial knowledge, learn healthy savings habits by saving $50 a month, and have their savings matched up to $500 to be used towards school costs such as uniforms, books, laptops, and sports fees.

It’s a wonderful community program that has helped over 50K Australians save $26 million since 2003, on top of that ANZ has also provided $21 million in matching for spending on education costs. I’m actively enrolling new parents into the program and would appreciate your help in sharing Saver Plus with your parent community by participating in the competition.

Entering is easy, simply help us share the Saver Plus program with your parent community by completing the activities below. Each activity your school completes will earn points. Once your school reaches 300 points, your school will go in the draw to win one of three gift vouchers worth $2000!

How does my school earn points? I will provide all the necessary materials

·       Post Saver Plus to your school’s Facebook page = 20 points each post

·       Include Saver Plus in your school newsletter to parents = 20 points each share

·       Co-host a Zoom info session and I’ll present the program to parents = 50 points each session

·       Submit a testimonial quote about how Saver Plus has helped your school community = 50 points

·       A parent from your school joins Saver Plus = 100 points per parent

The competition starts 1 Feb and ends 30 April. Once your school earns 300 points, your school will go in the draw!
