Gr 3-6 Athletics Day on Wednesday

The Gr 3-6’s had an amazing time at the sports last week. It was great to see them all participating with such energy and enthusiasm. Special thanks to all of the parents that came along to support.

Back Creek Farm Visit on Friday

Last Friday, the Gr 4-6’s attended Back Creek Farm. This continues the wonderful connection that we have created with the staff and students at Back Creek. The Scotsburn students enjoyed helping the kids at Back Creek on the farm. We look forward to them visiting us again in Term 2.

Spelling Mastery

A big thank you to our parents who have volunteered to be part of our Spelling Mastery Program. We are still looking for helpers on a Friday. If you can spare 25 minutes at 9:00am please let us know. It is very simple and we are more than happy to help and ‘teach’ you the ropes. Your help is very much appreciated!

Being a Parent Helper

With so many wonderful opportunities for parents to be involved with the campus, understanding and being aware of the school’s expectations is important. Please remember that a current Working with Children’s Check is required, with a copy to be given to the Buninyong office and for Shaun to keep on site. A volunteer Working with Children’s Check is free for volunteers and is easy obtain. Please see the Working with Children’s Check Victoria website for more information or to apply and renew your card.

Specialist Message From Mrs Morgan

Just wanted to show you these AMAZING installations by Michelle Stitzlein http://www.artgrange.com/michellesculpture.html) …aren’t they fabulous!? I really want to make something similar with SC3 this term, and am hoping to make one from natural objects eg interesting seed pods, rocks etc and one more like Michelle’s from super man-made objects such as batteries, records, electrical wires, nuts and bolts, old keyboard letters etc etc. (a broken ukulele might make a great body if there are any out there!) please if you have anything lying around at home that you think would be useful can you please consider donating it to us!? Thanks SO much in advance for anything you can come up with!
