CSEF will be provided by the Victorian Government to assist

eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, camps and

card or are a temporary foster parent, you may be eligible for

CSEF. The allowance will be paid to the school to use towards

expenses relating to camps, excursions, or sporting activities for

the benefit of your child. The annual CSEF amount per student

will be $125 for primary school students. Please contact the

school office for an application form or download from

www.education.vic.gov.au/csef. You need to lodge your

application form at school by 26th June 2015. Payments will be

made in Term 3 and those funds will be available once the

school receives them.

HEAD LICE

We will be having a whole school lice check tomorrow. If live lice are found on students, you will be contacted to pick your child up from school. Your child can return to school once treatment has been undertaken.

DISTRICT FOOTBALL/NETBALL

Last Friday, 43 students travelled to Wonthaggi to the annual

District Football and Netball carnival. The Bass Valley students

competed well in the mild conditions. The teamwork of the

football side improved throughout the day resulting in a number

of victories. The likes of Dylan Taylor and Riley Condick

shared the ball well with their teammates. The three netball

sides also improved as the day progressed. The A, B division

and the Mixed Division team displayed excellent sportsmanship.

Well done on your application and effort. Thank you to the par-

ents who provided assistance and support on the day, in particu-

lar Steve Edden, Janine Trewin, Kim Rosenow and Jenni

Nicholls for coaching and scoring on the day and Leeanne

Pendlebury for providing the pumpkin soup.

GRANDPARENTS MORNING

We would like to thank the grandparents and even great grand-parents who visited this morning. It was lovely to see so many here. We have some photos of your visit on the next page. A big thank you to Di Dakin, Alicia Dominich, Katrina Graham, Janine Mewett, Leeanne Pendlebury and the staff who provided morning tea. It was much appreciated by all.

WORKING BEE

Last Saturday we had a fantastic turn out of parents and children at our working bee. We were able to spread gravel around the walking track and install a long jump pit and a shotput/discus circle. We would like to thank Andrew and Di Dakin and family for organising everything and providing the heavy equipment, Vansteensel Timber for the donation of wood, Sabbia Develop-ments/Pittsburgh Quarries for the donation of sand along with Adam & Kirsty Taranto & family, David & George Blum, Matthew, Carmel & Taj Blum, Scott Shelton & boys, Dino Masinovic & family, Ben Logan & Kayte Stringer & boys, Kylie Hakim & family plus Ayla & Harmony, Souvanny Gully & family, Craig Liefting, Jon McCormick, Rob Fransen, Jo Peacock and Leanne Edwards for helping on the day. A great effort by all involved.

Every pupil is important, Every staff member is an asset, Every parent is a partner.

ACCELERATED LEARNING PROGRAM—W.S.C.

Wonthaggi Secondary College offers a SEAL (Select

Entry Accelerated Learning) program beginning in Year 7, to cater for bright and highly motivated stu-

dents. The program involves accelerated learning in

English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities and Japa-nese throughout years 7-9.

a challenging and satisfying learning experience. If you are a parent of a grade six student and think

your child would benefit from such a program, you

can nominate your child to sit the placement test.

Nomination forms are available at your primary school’s office. If you would like to know more about

the program please contact either Heather Sullivan
