DIARY DATES FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK
EYE ON SEAFORD
Email: [email protected]
Website: www.seafordps.vic.edu.au
16th October, 2014
CANBERRA: Last week our year 5 and 6 students visited the na on’s capital and from all reports had
a fantas c me. Feedback from staff who a$ended was very posi ve about the way our students
conducted themselves throughout, and they were great ambassadors for the school. My thanks to the
staff who a$ended. It is a huge responsibility to take a group of 40 students away, to ensure they
have the best in educa onal opportunity as well as keeping them safe and secure. The staff who
a$ended, Mrs Stewart, Mr Lucas, Mrs Reardon, Mrs Fleming and Mrs Douglas are to be congratulated
for a great job.

Many of our current students will have official du es on the day, and no ces have gone home to their parents explaining
this. It is most important that children are in a$endance at the right me and are in school uniform.
WORKING BEE: A huge thank you to the many staff, parents and students who came along to the working bee on Sunday
to make the school look its best for the centenary and you certainly succeeded. Great team effort!
THE HISTORY BOX: Tomorrow (Friday) is the students turn when they will be taken back in me in their classroom to the
more tradi onal sort of schooling that their grandparents and great grandparents would have experienced back in their
school days. The History Box will also be running 90 minute programs to develop awareness of the way in which things
have changed over me- par cularly since 1914. To help create some atmosphere and for a bit of fun, we are asking chil-
dren to come dressed as a student from a par cular era- perhaps the 20’s or 30’s or maybe more recently – 60 or 70’s.
We look forward to a great turn out of past students, staff and others who have been associated with the school during its
existence on Saturday. Come along and join the fun.
BOOK FAIR – Our second and final Scholas c Book Fair for the year is to be held in the week beginning October 27th
. On the
Monday, children will have the chance to browse through the books and other items available for sale, with selling taking
place on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday between 8.30 and 9am and again from 3.30 un l 4pm. A “parents only”
session will be from 9am un l 9.30 on the Wednesday.

AN INTERESTING EMAIL
Hello,
My name is Natasha Burnley, last year I went to Kenya and I was looking through my old pictures the
other day and came across this one that I thought you might like. Here is a picture of a li$le boy called
Abu. This picture was taken in an orphanage in a rural village in Kenya called Kimilili. This is what Abu
wore to school, all the children in the orphanage wore old school jumpers from the UK because they
could not afford their own uniform.
Anyway, I thought you might find it interes ng that your school uniform is halfway around the world.
Share it and it may spur some more of your pupils to donate their old uniform!!
Natasha.
