Important Reminder:

Prep Parents Survey

Just a reminder to our 2021 Prep Families about completing the survey on the  DPV Health Transition Resource. DVP Health respect that it’s a difficult time for many families at the moment, and no pressure is intended. However if you have the time they are very keen to get your feedback.

At the start of term 1, Prep families at PPPS received DPV Health Transition Resource packs. They were passed out to families at your child’s Parent Partnership afternoon. PPPS thought the Transition Resource pack was informative and well presented. 

It provided information on:

DVP Health would appreciate parent feedback on the resource pack. Could you please let them know your thoughts by completing this two minute survey? Your time will help make future resources more informative, relevant and engaging.

DPV Health is a not-for-profit organisation that offers exceptional health care services to people of all ages.

If any families missed receiving a copy of the pack, please contact me and I will get one sent home in your child’s bag. 

Thank you in anticipation.

Victorian Premiers' Reading Challenge

The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is open and Plenty Parklands Primary School is excited to be participating. The PRC application offers a range of exciting features including:

• access to a library catalogue (including book images and blurbs)
• a modern user-friendly interface
• rewarding  students with badges as challenge milestones are achieved

• the option for students to mark books as a favourite, give them a star rating or complete a book review. The Challenge is open to all Victorian children from birth to Year 10 in recognition of the importance of reading for literacy development. It is not a competition; but a personal challenge for children to read a set number of books by 17 September 2021.

Children from Prep to Year 2 are encouraged to read or ‘experience’ 30 books with their parents and teachers. Children from Year 3 to Year 10 are challenged to read 15 books. 

All children who meet the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the Victorian Premier and former Premiers.
