Welcome Back

Welcome back to school for Term 3. I hope everyone has come back refreshed and ready for what is already shaping up to be a busy term. A special welcome to Mrs Brennan and Ms Hawken who have both returned from their long service leave.

Parent Opinion Survey

Please find time to complete the ‘Parent Opinion Survey’ run by the Department of

Education. This provides valuable feedback for our entire school community. It highlights our

success and areas for improvement. All families were emailed the login details on

Monday. Thank you for your help with this.

Congratulations Noah! Last week Noah Hangan-O’Brien travelled to Melbourne to represent our College and region at the Primary School State Cross country event. Noah came an incredible 25th out of 95. His time of just over 11 minutes for the 3km distance smashed his PB. Well done Noah we are very proud of you.

Prep 100 Days

Next Wednesday the 31st of July will mark the 100th day our 2019 preps have been at school. What a fun and exciting day is planned to celebrate this milestone.

Prep – 2 Concert is coming! Two nights: September 18th and 19th

at the Plaza Theatre The children are rehearsing during school hours and are already getting excited.

Please let your class teacher know if your child cannot attend both evenings so that we can plan their positions in the performance.

All students will wear costumes mostly provided by the school. Families are asked to ensure all students have blue pants (school uniform) and plain black shoes (if possible) ready for September.

By performing two evenings we can fit all your family and friends into the Plaza Theatre. Please start planning. Tickets will go on sale by September 1st.

Any enquiries or offers of assistance to: Sue Meeking meeking.susan.a@edumail.vic.gov.au

Each class has nominated two class captains for term 3. Captains have the responsibility of reporting to me at our meeting two or three times during the term. We discuss their classroom, the yard and any thoughts and

ideas they have for improving our school.

Last week we received the results from our recent Student Attitude to School Survey. As you can see by these graphs we have a lot to celebrate. (The coloured section is the positive response and the dark line indicates where we were last year so in the eyes of the students we have continued to operate at a very high level). Well done to everyone! (Please contact the office if you would like to see a detailed report).
