Principal’s Report
Hi everyone, I hope everyone has had an enjoyable week so far.
It has certainly been another busy week at school. Yesterday while the school was out at the Melbourne Museum, I
have been attending our Regional Principals Conference in the City. The conference was held over Wednesday and
Thursday and provides an opportunity for Principals around the state to participate in a number of workshops
conducted by both international and local educators. I look forward to sharing my reflections with you next week.
Lightening Premiership
Last Thursday a small group of students headed off to Geelong to
represent Moorabool B in our Annual Lightening Premiership
competition. It certainly was an exciting day, as both the football and
netball teams came away with a win! Congratulations to all our
players, and big thanks to Miss Pritchard for coaching the girl’s netball
team.
Breakfast Club
Tomorrow we are planning to run our second breakfast club event. The breakfast club will be serving food from
8:20am until 9:00am. We are hoping that this will be as successful as the event held last term.
OHSC Casual Position
We have recently starting advertising on SEEK for additional staff to assist on a casual basis in the Out of School Care
Program. Applicants need to either have a certificate 3 qualification, a diploma or currently be enrolled as a 3rd year
student in a Bachelor of Education course to be considered. If you know of anyone who would be interested in this
role, please ask them to make contact with the school.
Before School Care Survey
We are currently looking at the possibility of offering a before school care program next term. To gauge the level of
interest around this, I would like to invite you to complete a survey by using the following link:
