NEWSLETTER Our School

moving online making it quicker and easier to fill in and to get results back to schools sooner. The overall objective of this survey is to collect data about our parent’s opinions and for us to then use this information to drive further improvements for our school. We would appreciate it if those families selected could take some time to complete the survey (approx. 15 mins). Selected families will soon be given a notice in order to provide the school with a current email address. This email address will be used to send you the secure link to complete the survey. The survey can be completed on a computer, smart phone or tablet. If you don’t have access to the internet we can arrange access at school. This is an important aspect of our schools accountability process and along with staff and student opinion surveys, helps us to make our school the best it can be. Surveys are due to be completed by Monday 21 August. Please don’t hesitate to call me if you have any questions.

SWIMMING PROGRAM Students in Year Prep to Year 4 will have the opportunity to attend this years Swimming Program at the Maribyrnong Aquatic Centre. The permission note will be sent home soon. Please note that places are limited, first in first served.

This term we have our whole school Athletics day, “Picture This” Art Show, Daffodil Day, 5 cent challenge and a Hot Dog special lunch day.
