Year 5/6 Excursion recount On Tuesday the 20th of November 5/6 students from LEPS went to Melbourne, Ballarat and Bendigo on camp. We had to be at school by 6am with our luggage and we left and 6.15am sharp. Our first stop was a resting area where we ate our morning tea and had a toilet break. We got back on the bus and headed to Melbourne. When we arrived in Melbourne we ate our lunch next to the Yarra River. We then went to the Aquarium the 5/6 students went into 4 groups and had a guided tour through the Aquarium and saw interesting animals like wobbegongs. We left the Aquarium and went to the Melbourne museum. We saw ancient animals such as dinosaurs. After the museum we went to our motel in Ballarat, it was called Cardigan Lodge. We settled in then ate dinner. The next day we went to Sovereign Hill and panned for gold. We also saw gold pouring. After Sovereign Hill we went straight to bowling there was lots of loud music and it was fun. Thursday the 22nd of November was our last day of camp. We went to the Bendigo Discovery Centre where we went down the vertical slide. In conclusion camp was extremely enjoyable.

Relieving Principal’s Message

I look forward to seeing everyone at the Annual School Presentation Day to be held at the Albury Entertainment Centre starting at 12 noon. It is great opportunity to acknowledge and support all of our students. Congratulations to all the students involved in the school swimming scheme over the last two weeks. A great effort by all the students involved in such a very beneficial and important program – learning to swim. A big thank you all the staff for their efforts organising and running the program. Obviously there are a few other events to look forward to and be aware of before the end of the term. The Sports Assembly will be held on Thursday 13 December, Year 6 Graduation Dinner and Year 2-6 Disco on Monday 17 December and the End of Year Student Extravaganza on Tuesday, 18 December 2018. Please keep a look out for information via notes and the newsletter. Thank you for your continued support of our fantastic school, great staff and amazing students. Jason Weaven Relieving Principal
