The weather really put on a shine for our Fathers’ Day Sausage Sizzle. As you can see by the photos, it was
a very successful day with a huge roll up of the significant men in our lives. Many thanks to our volunteers
for cooking the snags. It is certainly a highlight on our calendar.

Imagine you can! This is the aim of the Imagination Club which
some of students have ben attending. I have accompanied
them over the past few weeks to join in games with students
from other schools. The Club Leader, Sally engages the students
in many different games. Bus Stop below was one in which one
student had to try to convince the other to leave the bus stop!
Also, a group activity whereby they had to work out things
they had in ‘common’ and ‘uncommon.’ There is lots of
sharing of ideas and acceptance of each other.
This morning I waved off our Grade 1’s to the Melbourne Zoo and the
Grade 2’s to the Pioneer Settlement Camp at Swan Hill. Many parents
reported their excitement and early rising for a change. These are
valuable experiences for our students, which do take a great deal of
organisation by our staff, which is very much appreciated. Thanks, also
to our parent volunteers who support the teachers. We look forward to
hearing of the activities on their return.
Footy Fever is in the air! Staff are building up their team to challenge the Students. After a break from
tradition last year, we are all geared up for a ‘grudge’ match. On the last day of Term (two weeks) SAT are
organising Footy Clinic before lunch. Do not forget to put your Special lunch order in. There will also be a
Staff Vs Student Netball game the day before. I may even dust off my netball skirt for this one!
Isaiah’s visit on Tuesday was unfortunately cancelled at the last minute due to a one-off opportunity for
him to work with an American music producer. The plan is for Isaiah to visit late this year or early in 2020.
Stay tuned! Isaiah is embarking on his 50 Date Tour, performing at the Echuca Paramount of the 12 th
October.
There has been many engaging learning activities occurring at 208 over Term 3. You can keep informed
through the Communication Notes & Facebook. The Grade Preps and Grade 1s will be showcasing their
work in the last week of term. I am looking forward to that.
Hoping the weather continues to warm up now that it is Spring. At least the daylight hours are getting
longer and we can enjoy more time outdoors but at school in the yard we need to be SUNSMART and
wear our broad-brimmed hats.
Enjoy your weekend.
Parent Forum This is a message form our School Council President, Rebecca Trevisan.
Unfortunately, the Parent Forum scheduled for next Thursday 12th September will be postponed to a date
early Term 4. School Council will decide on a new date at the next meeting, Monday 16th September.
Apologies for the inconvenience.

Footy Colours Day
We only have a little over two weeks left in the term which means we are rapidly approaching
FOOTY COLOURS DAY! On this day, the last day of term, Miss McGurgan and the SAT will be running a
footy clinic for all students. The clinics will run from approx. 10:20am -12:20pm, followed by a late lunch.
The clinics will be staggered, with students working within their year levels. Students can expect to participate
in footy skills and footy based games which we’re sure they will enjoy. More to come on this as we approach
the day.
