Dear Families,

Woody’s World Music Festival Excursion

Tomorrow the whole school will be travelling by

Falls Creek Coach to the Mount Beauty Community

Centre for a performance organised for us by the

Music Festival Committee. We will be leaving

school at 9.15 SHARP and returning at

approximately 2pm. There will be no lunch orders.

The $5 entry cost and bus will be covered as part of

the local excursion component of our school fees.

Girls Group / Boys Group

Our Year 4/6 girls this week worked on positive self

esteem and thinking good thoughts about

themselves and each other. They hung doilies on

their own backs and wrote things that they value

about their peers and positive affirmations for each

other. They are aiming to remember these kind

truths about themselves when they feel low.

The boys talked about kindness and thinking

before they act. We went down to the Tawonga

tennis court again with Mr Flower.

Fun Run Cross Country

Congratulation to everyone on your efforts last

Friday. Those students who have qualified for the

next round will be notified shortly.

Music Festival BBQ Fundraiser

Each year our school runs a food stall at the Music

Festival. This year we are rostered for Saturday

30th April and will require help throughout the

day. This is one of our main fundraising

events for the year and we hope that

every family who is available can help

out for a time during the event. Every

little bit of help would be appreciated.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DATE HAS

BEEN CHANGED FROM SUNDAY TO

SATURDAY.

Year 5/6 Attitudes to School Survey

The Year 5 and 6s completed the annual

Attitudes to School Survey this morning which is

completed by all Year 5 and 6 in the state. The

results are sent into the Department for collating

and used by the school to plan for the future.

School Nursing Program

The Victorian School Nursing Program is a free

health assessment offered by the Department of

Education and Training to all children during

their first year of primary school and for children

enrolled in Years 1 to 6 upon referral. Preps

have received an envelope today with full

information and we ask that these be returned

to the office by 13th May.

Today in Making Day we had some great parent volunteers Erin in the kitchen, Anne helping with our mural design and Evan

in the gardening group.

The Making group started designing the animals out of bottle tops that will be going on our large mural. They also learnt

how to cut using a mitre saw. Thank you to Dick from the Mt Beauty Mens Shed who has assisted with getting some materi-

als prepared for us to make picture frames.

Our cooking group made meatloaf balls and talked about measuring and weighing their ingredients accurately.

The gardening group planted more native shrubs in the dry gully, weeded and racked some autumn leaves.

been stocked. We now have new stock of:
