Principal’s comment – Rukshana Verzijl
Dear Parents, Thank you so much for your warm welcome. I am truly honoured to have been chosen as the Principal of this school and look forward to becoming a part of your community.
Since arriving this week, although surrounded by the sounds and scenes of a building site, I have noticed that Eastwood is beginning to buzz with energy and excitement as we finally see the first stage of the building program begin to take shape. There seems to be a sense amongst all of us –students, staff and parents alike — that we are a part of something big.
Indeed, this is a special time to be a part of Eastwood. As the school continues to make exciting progress, we will be well on our way to realizing the school community vision of a 21
st Century learning environment.
As part of this vision, I am committed to creating the best learning experience possible for all of your children. By integrating the immense skills of our teachers with the wonderful support of the parent body I am confident that we will be able to confront the challenges ahead and to provide an exceptional learning experience for every one of our students.
During the following months, I hope to have the pleasure of meeting all of you. Thank you, again, for extending such a warm welcome! As my Eastwood journey continues, I look forward to seeing how, together, we can create a high quality, safe and nurturing educational environment. Warmly, Rukshana Verzijl Principal

Miss Peppercorn Online Canteen Lunch Order Service
Starting next Wednesday (23rd July) Eastwood Primary is very excited to
offer our school families an online canteen lunch service. This is a trial program for Term 3 with the possibility of an extension in Term 4 if there is enough interest. Attached to this Epsilon is the welcome letter and Term 3 price list. The welcome letter gives details of how to set up your account with Flexischools, the financial arm of the service, and then you are ready to order from their extensive list of food items. Lunches will be delivered to the school just prior to lunch, and distributed to students from the staffroom. Monitors from each class with lunch orders will be asked to come and collect their orders. All monies are paid online by the family. No money or orders are to be sent to school. Children will be required to provide their own morning tea on the lunch order day.
Table Tennis Club
After much anticipation the table tennis final was played at lunchtime today in the Ray Symons Centre. Congratulations to Matthew and Leo for being the champion and runner-up. The matches were of excellent standard and hard fought. Thanks to Gwen for her skills as the referee and for the supporters and table tennis committee who attended the event. Looking forward to more matches this term. Marg Kittelty Chaplain

Children need to eat more fruit
and vegetables
Fruit and vegetables are excellent sources of vitamins, minerals and fibre required for healthy bones, teeth, skin, eyes and digestion.
They protect against overweight and obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers.
Packing ‘healthy learning lunchboxes’ full of fruit and vegetables is a great way to help meet the 2 Fruit + 5 Veg daily recommended serves. Many parents wonder what is a serve of fruit or vegetables for children of different ages.
The best measuring cup to use is your child’s hand. One serve equals a ‘handful’. You can count out serves with your child based on the size of your child’s hand. As your child grows, so does their need for larger serves of fruit and vegetables.

Sunday 27th July between 9 and 12pm is our next working bee at
Eastwood. We are expecting Massive numbers in attendance!!! Can you help us beat our 2013 record of 28...out of 307 families??? Some of you may have noticed the new retaining wall around the play equipment. This was pulled together by one...lone...parent!!! a big big thank you to Rod Mitchell for completing this during his leave. This work around the play equipment will continue at the working bee as we need to upgrade all of the soft fall around the play areas and re fill the sad looking sandpits. So for those if you planning on staying home on Sunday July 20, eating brekky, grabbing a coffee and adding the winter layer to your bodies at home make a change. Brings the kids and come along to help out, you'll burn 350 calories per hour, get fit, gain satisfaction that you are taking part in making Eastwood great and your kids will learn a sense of pride in looking after the place they spend 40 hours a week! The last working bee was great for the kids they successfully arranged their own production line of 10 children to move dirt, dig holes and repot plants...the things they can do are amazing. So we look forward to seeing you all there...byo gloves and any tools you may find handy...wheelbarrows will be in need! Thanks, Alex White and the Eastwood Environment Committee
Winter and Asthma
With the winter months approaching, it is important to be aware of the triggers that can affect your asthma during this season. A sudden change in temperature, such as cold air or windy days can be a trigger for some people with asthma. It is recommended that you take your usual dose of reliever medication before going out on cold, windy days. Wearing a scarf over your face will help to warm the air before you breathe it in. Thunderstorms can also trigger your asthma. This is due to the large quantities of pollen, in very small particles, being released into the air, as the raindrops break down pollen particles already in the air. It is best to stay inside with the windows closed during thunderstorms. Visit your doctor to determine if weather change is a trigger and ensure you have a written Asthma Action Plan outlining what to do for your day to day asthma, what to do if your symptoms worsen and how to cope with an asthma emergency. As we head toward cooler months, The Asthma Foundation of Victoria recommends that everyone with asthma should have a flu injection as people with asthma are at higher risk of developing complications from influenza. To obtain a FREE Asthma Control Pack, containing information to assist parents and students in managing their asthma, please contact Louisa or Sarah at The Asthma Foundation of Victoria or 1800 645 130 or email [email protected]
