2020

As we are now beginning our organisation of classes

for 2020, please call or email the School Office as

soon as possible if you are not going to be here in

2020. It is really helpful for us to know sooner rather

than later about students leaving and enrolling at

our school.

Regards,

Michael McLean

First Aid Room roster RSPCA Donations

Eliza C would like to thank everyone

who donated

items for the

RSPCA. She

took the items

to the RSPCA

and they were

very much

appreciated.

Dear parents, Thank you so much for your support of the Scholastic Book Fair last term. It was a huge success and the total sales equated to a commission of $1,125 to purchase new books for our Library. Scholastic also donated $110 worth of books to our school. I hope your children enjoy their new books and your purchases have in turn, made an invaluable contribution to the Library collection. Happy reading. Denise Atkins

Division Athletics

Congratulations to all our Kerrimuir students who competed in the Whitehorse

Division Athletics event on Wednesday. Sienna C entered the 1500m long distance

race and Rehaan R, Ethan C, Josh M and Archie P ran in the 4x100m relay. They did

well to make it to this level of competition. And well done to those students who

qualified but were not able to make it on the day.

SCHOOL News


As a young scientist and naturalist, you need to know all about Australia and why the land is the way it is. Often

Australia has experienced 10-15 years of severe drought and then flooding rains have come. Get a feel for the

“bush”, the great outback, and our water challenges in Australia. Learn “My Country” and see how it tells about our

country that is so different from where most people came from originally. Match photos to the ideas in the poem.

Learn to read weather maps and compare predictions to reality. What do you believe? Who was Albert Namatjira

and what did he do? Can we do what he did? Develop your memory, gain new words to use, write your own poetry

and create a painting. Why do we need “mateship” more than most?
