A message from David
Community Connections Last night, I had the privilege of meeting
with the parents of Little Lane on Station St, Box Hill, as part of
their very first parent information evening. Little Lane
officially opened last year and is creating some amazing things
with their staff with a holistic approach to the development of
their children. Johanna from Year 5 accompanied me and was
able to offer insight into the strength of our buddy program to
support the transition of young people into the primary
setting. Johanna spoke with confidence and genuine interest
in the role that she and her peers contribute to the mentorship of
Preps. It was most enjoyable hearing her speak and engage
with a room full of unfamiliar adults. Well done,
Johanna.
Open Day We look forward to hosting our Open Day on Sunday as a way
to showcase the many great things that happen at Box Hill
North. Fingers are crossed that the weather holds up for
tomorrow’s twilight working bee. Our students will be busy
after lunch helping tidy up our grounds and there will be
opportunity for lots of little jobs such as planting out small
spaces to enhance outdoor learning spaces. Sporting Teams
Good luck to our basketball kids who have made it to the grand
final this weekend. We wish you well and know you’ll proudly
represent your team. Good luck also to our senior students as
they compete in tomorrow’s interschool gala day. It has been
a long time since students have been able to participate at this
level and it should be lots of fun. Go Box Hill North!

Concert Helpers Needed
Hello Box Hill North Community! For those of you who
don't know me, I am Kelly (Ms Wild) - 5/6 teacher and also
coordinator for this year's concert!
The date for the concert has been set (Tuesday the 20th July) and
preparations have already began. This is a call-out for concert
helpers. We need to create teams
for costumes, props and hair/make-up and
there are jobs to suit all interests and skill levels in these
areas. As well as assisting the school in a worthy
project for our students, it is also a way for parents and carers
to make new connections within the school community. If you are
interested, please email me (email below) with your area of
interest (costume, props, or hair/makeup), any helpful
background information, as well as your child's name/grade. I look
forward to hearing from you. Kelly Wild

Looking for Donations
Kinder has had a wonderful start to the year, with lots of new and
returning faces, we can’t wait to get to know all the new families
this year. We also have a couple of big projects that we are
looking to launch this year. Our first being our kinder lending
library. Families will be able to access and borrow books from
kinder. We know how important reading to children is while they are
young and how much being read to can assist children in developing
their language skills before school.
We are therefore seeking any donations of preloved books
appropriate for kinder children from our school community. If you
have any books that you would like to donate to the kindergarten to
get our lending library up and running please drop them off to the
kinder foyer at your convenience.
