PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Pirate Dress Up Day
Ahoy! Thanks to all who embraced Pirate Day to promote our upcoming production of
Pirates of the Curry Bean. We are full steam ahead with rehearsals, practising our
year level songs, choreography, delivery of lines and acting in character. Our Year
5/6 students spent this morning rehearsing together and I was fortunate enough to
pop in briefly to see some of the rehearsal. We hope you have marked Tuesday 24th
July in your calendar. The matinee performance will be at 1:00pm and the evening
show will start at 7:00pm.
It was great to see all the costumes at this morning’s Pirate Parade. Thanks to the Production Team
for organising today’s fun celebration of our upcoming musical production.
Compass Update
Trent and Liz have been busy emailing Compass login details to our school community. If you have
missed this email with your individual log in, please contact the school office to let us know. We are
currently in a transition period, moving more communications onto our new Compass system. Class
teachers have been marking attendance via Compass, late arrivals and early dismissals are now
recorded on Compass, and we will be adding various notifications to Compass throughout the year.
From Term 3 we will be sending all event, excursion and incursion notices via Compass.
We also thank our Fundraising Team, as Compass was purchased for our community with fundraising
money. Thanks also to School Council for approving this purchase. Thank you also for the very
positive feedback we have received from our community regarding the ease of Compass.
Parent Teacher Interviews / Three-Way Conferences
Parent Teacher Interviews (Prep-Year 1) and Three-Way Conferences (Years 2-6) will be held in
the last week of this term, Monday 25th to Friday 29th June. Bookings are to be made online and
will open at 4.00pm tomorrow and remain open until 12 noon 20th June. Please see page 3 of this
newsletter for details.
Walkathon Please keep returning your pledges, so we can keep you informed of the total amount raised. We aim to have all sponsorship returned by tomorrow (Friday 15th June) in order to announce the student winner of the prize generously donated by Windmill. I wonder who will win the scooter! Happenings Around the School Year 4s Challenge Based Learning Project On both Tuesday and Thursday this week, our Year 4s have spent time making honey joys to sell to raise funds for some new flagpoles and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags. Many staff and students enjoyed their honey joy snacks this week. Personally speaking, they tasted delicious. Thank you, Year 4s. District Basketball Earlier this week, Mr Moore spent the morning at Bialik with two senior basketball teams representing our District in basketball. They played several games, both teams winning all but one of their matches on the day. Congratulations to all involved: Katie Harrington, Sarah Wansbrough, Alannah McInnes, Maddi McDonaald, Eliza Scott, Emma Ross, Lily Douglas, Alex Ingpen, Zane Cochrane, Rowan Hunt, Jamo Smith, Henry Deayton, Ryder Smith, Jono Baird and Oliver Troedel. Thank you for representing yourself and our school with your on court talent and off court respect for all involved on this day. Congratulations to Zane Cochrane who has been selected to represent our state in the State Schools Victoria football team. He will be travelling to Canberra in August to compete against the other states and territories. Well done Zane!! Be Safe, Be Fair, Be Kind.
