Assistant Principal's report 

Term 3

I hope that you if you were lucky enough to have a break, that it was restful and rewarding. What did you do that filled your bucket, even a little? We love to get away in our caravan as a forced type of detox and these holidays saw us head to Canberra. If you ever have a chance to head to our Nation's Capital with your family I can't recommend it highly enough. We filled 6 jam-packed days with some fantastic activities and excursions and so many of them were completely free! The traditional land of the Ngunnawal people, Canberra is a fascinating study of topography, land use, politics, people and culture. Well worth the trip if you ever have a chance. 

This term we have so many things to look forward to with Grade 3 soon heading away on camp, our annual Book Day (a favourite day of dress up and fun), Grade 5 and 6 Bennett Shield, Grade 1 and 2 Golden Oldies Afternoon, Hoop Time, celebrating the arrival of Spring in our cooking and gardening programs, House Athletics, and much much more. Term 3 is traditionally often a term of great academic and personal growth for many children and I can't wait to celebrate our achievements along the way.

Updated Reporting Format

I hope that you and your child/ren have had time to read, reflect upon and celebrate the achievements documented in their recent report. The addition of the Compass Continuum as a companion to reports has hopefully provided a consistent and comprehensive addition to your understanding of your child's progress and we look forward to it becoming an ongoing part of our teacher/parent/student partnership. I welcome your feedback if you would like to email me on lauren.hopkins@education.vic.gov.au
