Principal’s Report: Milo Blast T-20 Cricket:

Eight year 5 and 6 students -

Eli Edwards, Jasper Turner,

Andrew Draper, Zac Heath,

Osi Lokeni-Vea, Nate Taruia,

Tristen Rosebottom and

Kayne Wissemann travelled to

the Old Aerodrome Ovals in

Mildura today to compete in

the Milo T-Blast Cricket

competition. Our boys had a

great time competing and

represented their school with

distinction.

School Review:

Red Cliffs Primary School

completed a School Review

during term 3.

The review process consisted

of a school self evaluation and

a formal review panel (that

included school staff

representatives, an

independent school reviewer

and two local principals)

analysing school data.

The final review document is

currently being checked to

ensure accuracy.

The final, department endorsed

review will be placed on the

school website in

the next few

weeks.

2017 Enrolment:

Red Cliffs Primary School is

currently accepting prep

enrolments for next year.

Parents with children who turn

5 by April 30th in 2017 are

asked to contact the office to

arrange an interview.

I ask parents to pass this

message on to neighbours,

It is important that we are
