A message from the Principal:
Dear Parents,
Welcome back to term 2. I hope everyone had a great holi-
day and are ready for a big term of learning and fun!
Curriculum Day
We have a pupil free day on Friday April 20th.
ANZAC Day Public Holiday
The ANZAC Day public holiday occurs on Wednesday April 25th. Students do not attend
school on this day. We will be having an ANZAC Day ceremony on Tuesday afternoon at
2.45 on the basketball court. Students will be dismissed from the basketball court. Our
office area have ANZAC Day badges available for purchase.
Prep Enrolments
Our Prep enrolments are flying at the moment. If you have a child who is starting
school next year please fill out an enrolment form and hand it to Colleen with a copy of
birth certificate and immunisation certificate.
School Works
Over the holidays we placed artificial turf in the area next to FHP. The students love it!
We will place some play equipment in this area shortly. We also installed 5 table tennis
tables in the area next to the CAT space. The children have enjoyed this new addition
to our school. I would like to thank our fundraising team and school council for their
hard work and support in ensuring our kids have the best facilities possible to support
their learning and their ability to enjoy school with their friends.
Kind Regards, Chris

National Young Leaders Day
At the end of last term the grade 6 leadership team went to the Melbourne Convention centre in the
city, to hear some inspirational Australians speak about how they got over their hurdles in life. They told
us what makes a good leader and that wearing the badge comes with responsibilities.
Cosentino, the magician from Australia’s Got Talent, told us that whatever you are going through in life
you can get through if you never lose hope.
John Coutis was unfortunately born without the use of his legs. He explained that you should always
have a good attitude no matter what happens and that you control your actions and it is up to you to
make good choices.
Harrison Craig, winner of ‘The Voice’ in 2013, explained that you should never let your challenges stop
you. For example, he used to stutter when he spoke but he kept practising and eventually got over his
debilitating stutter.
Emma Triscari, speedy left hand bowler from the ‘Melbourne Stars’ had her ups and downs. Her cricket
contract from WA was cancelled but she didn’t give up. She kept on going. One of her important mottos
was error equals opportunity for correction.
On the way home we stopped at a small store by the name of Sugar Station to replenish our energy.
All the student leaders were inspired by the 4 speakers and learnt a lot about leadership and persistence.
By Sarah and Madisyn on behalf of the Grade 6 Leadership Team

Information for Parents
NAPLAN 2018 tests will be held on Tuesday 15th, Wednesday 16th and Thursday 17th May.
NAPLAN is a valuable assessment tool for governments, schools and parents to understand
and improve the Literacy and Numeracy outcomes of Australian students.
NAPLAN provides parents of students in Years 3/5/7/9 with a report on their child’s perfor-
mance in literacy and numeracy against the national average. Schools and teachers use
NAPLAN data to improve teaching and learning programs in the classroom.
Later in the year, you will receive your child’s personal NAPLAN report.
For more information about NAPLAN, please visit VCAA website at www.vcaa.vic.edu.au
Yours Sincerely,
Chris Sevior
