From the PrincipalThe term has certainly flown, congratulations to all students who have worked hard to achieve all their goals this semester. There are some interesting programs happening across the school in term 3 which students are looking forward to.

Deakin STEM ProgramLast Monday Middle Years students were lucky enough to go to Deakin Uni and participate in the STEM Program. The students enjoyed the informative sessions presented by Deakin Uni Education students. This is what some of the students had to say:

I liked playing with the spheros- Lewis Hill I went to Deakin Uni and saw dinosaurs. I played with spero’s! Cambell Shrubb

What I liked about Deakin is the sphereo’s and the 3D goggles and presentationKayla Foster

It was good and my favourite part was the sphereo’s, it was cool, I liked controlling them. I liked the games with the colours in them they are cool!!Anamieka McIntosh

At Deakin Uni I saw some robots at I really liked the 3D glasses to see the underground of Australia. It was an okay day.Michel Walther

UniformsOkay the period of grace is over, next term we will be making sure students are in full clean school uniform.Students who do not comply will be unable to attend host schools or extracurricular activities outside of the school. This includes students doing VCAL.

Earn & LearnWe are participating in the Safeway/ Woolworths Earn and Learn promotion again this year. Earn and Learn is finished as of the end of term. Thank you for everyone’s contribution we look forward to purchasing some new equipment for each area of the school. Our students will have input to where the money is spent

Ritchies Community CashWe continue to be supported by Ritchies via their community cash program. To date this year we have received $251.75 from this valuable program. Again thanks to all supporters. Staff ChangesThe Early Years Campus will a have staff change for second semester. Tegan Nelmes who has been teaching year 3/4 will swap with Luke Kenna who has been teaching prep/one. Our students and staff

all know each other extremely well due to our small numbers we feel this change will be seamless and beneficial for all students.

Hands on LearningThe HOL crew made progress on the billycart, restoration of the Art room table, cleaned up the shed and Bailey finished his project. Bailey was MVP this week!
