PRINCIPAL’S REPORT State Sports

Congratulations to all students who recently participated at the state level in Athletics and Racquetball.

It is a great achievement to participate at this level and we are very proud of you all.

I had the good fortune to attend the Racquet Ball at the Melbourne Sport and Aquatic Centre last

Friday and was very proud of how our students performed. Not only did they do well on the court, they

were outstanding ambassadors for our school, both on and off the court. Well done folks!

Thank you to the staff and parents for supporting our student’s participation. It was an extremely early

start for some families and a very long drive – we appreciate your support.

Marcus Batt, Principal

CONCERT BAND WORKSHOP

On the 28th October the Lucknow Concert band walked to

Gippsland Grammar Junior Campus, to play their woodwind and

brass instruments with their Year 4 training band. Our band was

made up of Emma and Emily on clarinet, Kiah, Semi, and Sophia

on flute, Mary on oboe, Karlee on saxophone, Hayden on trumpet

and Lilli on trombone.

Their band had instruments such as the french horn, euphonium

and percussion that we didn’t have and they were interested to

hear Mary play the oboe.

We began with a workshop on our main pieces then after a short

break we rehearsed in smaller groups. Coming together for a

final run through we put into practice all that we had learnt before performing for the rest of their

school.

Together we played The Spook, Centurion, Jumbo Rock and a collection of short songs from their Band

books. All the staff involved were very impressed by the sound of the combined band of 26 and have

plans for further group performances. Stay Tuned.

Lynette Newman.

“The best thing was learning

about the different

instruments and we liked

playing with another school

and learning from one

another.” A big thank you to

Lynette for taking us to

Gippsland Grammar and to

Gippsland Grammar for

having us.

Emma Mitchell, Emily Peys,

Kiah Montant.

SCHOOL BOOK FAIR NOVEMBER 2019

Reading for pleasure unlocks the power of information and imagination and helps children discover who

they are. Here’s what you can do to help children develop stronger reading skills and a love for reading:

Set the example. Let children see you read.

Have a collection of books in your home. Update this collection routinely to keep up with changing

tastes and reading skills.

Support our school’s Book Fair. Allow your children to choose their own books to read.

The theme of our Scholastic Book Fair is Dino-Mite, where we hope you will Stomp, Chomp, and Read!

It’s a fun reading event that brings the books kids want to read right into our school. It’s a wonderful

selection of engaging and affordable books for every reading level. Please make plans to visit our Book

Fair and be involved in shaping your child’s reading habits.

Book Fair dates: 18th November 2019 – 22nd November 2019

Shopping hours: 3.00 pm to 4.30 pm

We look forward to seeing you and your family at our Book Fair! Remember, all purchases benefit our

school.
