Dear Greenmount families, . Last Tuesday afternoon, a group of Year 4-7 students were invited to participate in a very

exciting activity. Along with some very important visitors, they were being filmed by Channel

7 crew at the Blackboy Hill Commemorative site. Some of the students were interviewed and

asked ‘What does ANZAC Day mean to you?’ We were very proud of the way these students

represented the school. The filming was part of a video package being prepared for screening

at half time on AFL Grand Final day! Be sure to watch!

50th Year Commemorative Seating The undercover area was buzzing on Monday morning as

students returned to school to find a new brick seat had

been built. Thanks to the wonderful work of Mr Mark

Sherwin, the bricks that students engraved several

months ago have been used to build this beautiful

commemorative seat which will also house a time capsule being prepared.

Students thoughtfully walked around the brick structure to find their

own specially engraved brick and there were delighted faces when they

were found!.

We had hoped to collect payments prior to the construction, but Mr

Sherwin’s availability was limited and he very kindly came in over the

weekend to complete the work. The school is requesting a payment of $10

for your child’s brick to help cover costs of our 50th Year celebrations.

This is an excellent price, as generally commemorative bricks are much

more costly Please forward payment to front office.

The weather was PERFECT yesterday for the Jumps and Throws and the wind assisted the competitors with their efforts! All is looking well for a fantastic day on Thursday (tomorrow) when we run our Years 1 – 7 Faction Carnival. Come along and enjoy the day while you cheer for your child !

HEAD LICE Several classes have reported the presence of head lice amongst students. It is important that parents check their child’s hair regularly and treat for head lice if found. The Health Department has excellent information on effective treatment, including the 10day conditioner method. The forthcoming school holidays are a great opportunity to break the cycle!
