Term 2 - Week 8 2016 Education Week - Open Night All of the classrooms were open for viewing last Tuesday evening (May 24). The place was
crowded as parents, grandparents and the children made their way through many of the school
classrooms to peruse all of the wonderful student work. The art work displayed in each
classroom was truly amazing. Thank you to the entire staff for preparing their classrooms with
amazing student work displays for the community to enjoy at this event. Thank you to the
children for their persistence and hard work over the semester. A great effort by everyone
involved and the education evening was very much enjoyed by the entire school community.
Thank you to the parents and carers for supporting your children and the staff at our TRBPS.

Family Life Education Sessions Last Wednesday over 80 Tucker Road families attended the Family Life Sessions provided by Family Life
Victoria. The sessions were a mixture of presentation and conversation with the presenters often stopping for
families to talk about the topics presented and providing parents an opportunity to hear what the students
already knew or had questions about. It was also an opportunity for parents to initiate these discussions and
feel more comfortable continuing them. It was also an opportunity for parents to share their own thoughts and
experiences when they were going through ‘body change’.
