Dear Parents,
As you are aware Term 4 is a very busy time for all
staff across our school. Teachers are implementing end
of year assessments in preparation for Student Report
Writing. Office staff are completing a variety of
administrative processes for the end of year close of
business and preparing for the transition into a new
school year. Likewise, Mr Sevior, Leadership staff,
Mrs Street and I are planning for the 2014 school year.
Therefore, we ask any families intending to leave our
school, to please notify the office staff in writing as
soon as possible. This will help our school enormously
in planning for staffing, grade placements and most
importantly budget forecasts.
NO PARKING
We ask all members of our school community to avoid
parking in front of the big blue skip bin. We have
been informed that the rubbish truck will not enter our
school grounds if a car is stopped in front of the skip
bin. Even if a person is just ‘dropping off’ a child, the
car is blocking the access to the bin. As a result, last
week we missed out on having our bin emptied. This
then leads to the skip bin overflowing, rubbish building
up and we all know what health issues that can cause.
Once again, all parents are reminded to avoid using the
staff car park, in particular the space directly in front of
the skip bin, to drop off your child. This applies at all
times, whether it is for Before/After School Care or
during the school day. The rubbish truck can arrive at
any time and if you are blocking its access, we do not
get our bin emptied.
Christmas Raffle
Our Christmas raffle will take place once again in
2013. We would really appreciate any donations to the
school that we could use to place in hampers for prizes.
We have already had books, towels, a swivel chair and
some stationary donated to the school and we would
really appreciate parents donating items such as food,
toys or Christmas decorations. All donations can be
dropped in the office area. The raffle tickets will be
sent home with students next week.
2014 Prep Enrolment
We continue to provide Prep tours for prospective
parents for 2014!
If parents have a younger child starting at our school
next year, we kindly ask that they come to the office as
soon as possible and fill out an enrolment form.
In the past two years we have been able to cater for five
Prep classes. Due to various limitations, we cannot
guarantee this in 2014. So please get your enrolment
form completed ASAP for your own piece of mind.
If you know of family or friends who are looking to
enrol their children at our school next year we ask that
they call the office to arrange a tour and interview
promptly to avoid any possibility of disappointment.
New Building Works
You will have noticed by now the buildings our school
purchased and had installed over the holidays. We
currently have various tradesmen working at restoring
them in preparation for next year.

will be selling a range of Poppy
products to our school students. Prices

Premiers’ Reading Challenge In the past the Honour Roll was able to be viewed in
the newspaper The Age.
This year, The Age will publish the honour roll online.
From Sunday 27th October, you will be able to view a
personalised video and download a personalised front
page of The Age that’s yours to keep. To access the

inspire children to foster a love of reading.

Lai Taekwon-Do Taylors Lakes
On Saturday the 21st of September 2013, four members of the Taylor’s lakes Taekwon-Do club and also the instructors participated in Victorian State Championships hosted by AAITF (All Australia International Taekwon-Do Federation) at the St Alban’s Secondary College Gymnasium. Eager for their next competition, Tristan and Mehul full of energy and enthusiasm to represent Taylors Lakes once again. Joining them in the ranks are Aashiya and Angelo as first time competitors. For both Aashiya and Angelo, they were quite shy, but with the support of the families, instructors and coaches they performed incredibly well in both sparring (simulated combat using correct technique) and patterns (performing set choreographed moves from memory). Tristan Marinelli secured 2nd place for patterns and a heroic 3rd place for sparring, Mehul Kothari won 1st place in Patterns, Angelo Abalos triumphed 1st place for both patterns and sparring, Aashiya Nandivada gained 1st place for sparring. The instructor of Taylors Lakes Marc Russo won 2nd place for individual sparring as well as 3rd place for team sparring while assistant instructor Jimmy Nguyen secured 2nd place in patterns. Lai Taekwon-Do would like to thank the parents, coaches and neighbours of the club for their ongoing support.
