WHOLE SCHOOL TRANSITION DAY

We had a very successful Transition day on Tuesday. It was wonderful to see the excitement and hear the buzz in the air from both students and staff. Thank you to the parents who made the day even more successful for their children by encouraging them to make new

friendships and look for the positives in a fresh start.

3 WAY CONFERENCES

We trust you enjoyed the opportunity to share your child's second semester success with them and their teacher on Wednesday. It is always interesting to hear how children feel they have gone for the reporting

period, generally they are quite honest.

END OF YEAR REPORTS

These were made available on Monday and it was pleasing to hear that very few people were unable to access the reports online. Thank you to Cam Black and Colleen for their work in ensuring the successful roll

out of reports for our 1352 students.

Parents of students leaving our school should download these reports and student tasks and save them to their computer as once access to our school’s compass is removed you will not be able to download

these items.

CLASS PARTIES

All year levels will hold their class parties on Wednesday 18th

December. Please speak with your child's class teacher

if they have any special food requirements.

END OF TERM AND AWARDS ASSEMBLY

This will be held on Wednesday 18th December this year starting at 9:15am by the flagpole area. We will be farewelling our year 6s at this assembly. There will be

no further assemblies for the year.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES

Congratulations to everyone involved in our school picnic on Wednesday. It was a fantastic group effort and those who attended had a great time. Thank you to the Community Engagement Team, the office staff and to the Fundraising Team for their work in the lead

up to and on the day.

END OF YEAR TASKS

Parents where possible, should have ordered and paid for their books and levies on compass. All books paid for will be delivered to the classrooms ready for student use on Thursday 30th January for years 1-6 and on Friday 31st January for Preps. Please return any found library books, take home reading books, or school

equipment as soon as possible.

SPORTS STAR OF THE WEEK– CHASE (6ME)

National Softball Championship - Sydney November 11th to 15th 2019

A recount of Chase’s experience!

Sunday 10th November

Departed with the team at 10am. I was sitting next to Dorian and Mitchell and I got picked up by Dad and Emerson. Arrived and went to Blacktown Stadium.

We looked at the grounds. It was amazing. Had a training session. It was hot

but really fun and exciting. Got to the hotel in the afternoon, the

accommodation was good and then just went into the pool.

Monday 11th November

Arrived early and had the opening ceremony, we came in with our flag and sat

down and the Officials had a talk.

Played 1st game vs South Australia. Played right field, had an outfield assist

and got 1 hit for the game and we won our first game in the tournament.

Played 2nd game vs ACT. Got 2 walks and also pitched an innings. We also won

that game with big numbers on the board. Went back to the caravan park and

spent time with my teammates Ethan and Wirimu in the pool. It was relaxing

as well.

Tuesday 12th November

Due to the heat the day was called off so we went to all of these places. We went to Starbucks for the first time.

It was amazing. Went to an Asics outlet which was new and it was great. They had all of these things. Then

went to Subway and had a foot long. It was so good and yummy. Then we went to Rebel and looked at some

things. We got some tennis balls. Finally we went back to the resort. We stayed out for the day as the bushfire

threat was close to us and we just stayed in the pool.

Wednesday 13th November Today was an education day, we took a bus into the city and we went to Sea Life and the wax museum and we

also went to the wild life zoo all next to each other.

Thursday 14th November We had 4 games today after a re-shuffle of the fixture because of the heat. So we had 4 games for the day.

First game vs NSW we lost by a lot but it doesn’t matter because they were a good team. Second game vs.

QLD. They smashed us but that is ok they were also a good team. We had a bye through the middle of the day

so we had a pool recovery session. Third game was played South Australia. We beat them again so that made

us 3 win’s to put us into third. Our 4th and final game was vs ACT. We won against them and we remained in

3rd position. We left the resort at 6.00am and got back at 7.30pm. It was a long day!

Friday 15th November We had 2 games in the morning and a bye to finish for the tournament. First game vs. NSW, we got smashed

again. Second game vs QLD we got smashed again. For the closing ceremony, we got the bronze medal. It is

big! We headed into Dad’s office to meet Leanne his boss and met everyone else who works in there. We

dropped the car off and went to the airport to go back to Melbourne. The flight was delayed and we arrived into

Melbourne at 10.00pm and walked straight into the International terminal to go to Fiji! It was a long day but I

got through it.

Favourite moment:

Putting on my State Vic uniform for the first time, making new friends for life and getting to pitch and striking

out batters from other States.

What I learnt about representing my State:

To be proud of putting on the State uniform. Working hard at training and at home. Always supporting my

team mates through the good and the bad.

Epping Road Upgrade Community Update

We’re adding an extra lane between Craigieburn Road East and Memorial Av-enue, installing new traffic lights at Park Street, upgrading intersections and building better walking and cycling connections.

When

We expect to award a contract in early 2020 with construction to start on the Northern Roads Upgrade

from mid-to-late 2020. We’ll know more about the exact timing of the Epping Road Upgrade early next

year.

Traffic flow improvements

Due to the high levels of traffic along Epping Road, we’ll install new traffic lights, upgrade existing in-

tersections and install additional lanes to improve traffic flow.

Local access

During consultation in late 2018, we heard from residents that they were concerned about access

changes to side streets and local businesses.

As a result of your feedback, we’ve updated the proposed design to include a new U-turn between

Taggerty Grove and Fletcher Street, as well as moving the proposed U-turn closer to Jordi Place to im-

prove access to side streets and local businesses. We’ll also increase the right turning lane length to

boost capacity for those heading south along Epping Road and turning right onto O’Herns Road.

Have a question?

For more information visit the Epping Road Upgrade project page or contact us on the details below.

Regards

The project team Epping Road Upgrade
