Dear Families,

Emergency Planning

Last week our Yr4-6s spent the day at MtBPS

with the focus on emergency preparedness.

The students had an engaging day working in

small groups.

A strong message from the day was to ensure

that your family has it’s own plan in case of an

emergency. With the upcoming bushfire

season close this is a timely reminder to make

sure your properties are ready.

At school we will be having an evacuation drill

in coming weeks and we ask families to check

that their emergency contact details are up to

date. It is essential that you have a secondary

contact in case you are out of town. This could

be another parent if you do not have family

close by.

3/4 Howmans Gap Camp

Students in Years 3/4 have been given details

regarding the camp to Howmans Gap from

Wed 6th—Fri 8th November. Please action

this immediately so we can confirm numbers.

Payment is now due. Payments plans can be

arranged through the office. Payments can

also be made on Compass.

Lisa Office Hours

This term Lisa will be in the office on Tuesdays

and Wednesdays. If you need any uniform

items, banking queries or other please see her

then.

School Banking

With Lisa working Wednesdays now instead of

Thursdays, school banking will change to

Wednesday for the remainder of this year. If

you child has a CBA Dollarmite account and

you would like to promote good savings habits

have them drop their bank book into the office

on Wednesdays with money to deposit and

Lisa will take care of it

for them.

State Athletics

Alec and Eddy are off to

the State Track and

Field Championships in

Melbourne on Thursday

after placing 1st at

Regionals. Best of luck boys.

Student Teacher

Next week we will have another student

teacher working at our school for 17 days. Josh

Kable used to be a student at our school and is

excited to be returning . He will be working

mainly with the junior students.

Pupil Free Day

A reminder that Monday 4th November is our

last Pupil Free day of the year. Staff will be

working with the other schools in our cluster to

complete a Cultural Understanding and

Sensitive Training program.

Production

The students were introduced to the script

yesterday and given information regarding

costume ideas. There was a lot of excitement

around the storyline. We are on the look out

for some large, sturdy cardboard boxes if your

have anything lying around.

such as p, and ch, and s or z. E.g. bumped,

switched, passed.

MSL Mathlete of the Week

Well done to all our past Mathlete of the

Week recipients. This term Mrs Franzke is

encouraging those students who have never

had the award to do their best and see if they

can get it this term. The prize box has been

restocked after the Bookfair with some

stationery goodies.

Well done to Eddy who was our Mathlete of

the Week in Week 2.

Making Day

Making Day has started again and will be on Thursday

from 11.30 - 1pm.

Last week the Prep - Year 2s made yummy pizzas for the

whole school.

This week our gardening group will be busy planting out

our veggie garden and the making group will be starting

planning for our production props.

The Yr 3-6 students were highly engaged listening to Tim Cope speak last week. Many have returned to school with their own copy of Tim’s new book. We have given a signed copy of ’Tim and Tigon’ for our own library.
