Congratulations to Sienna, Stephie, Chloe, Maddie, Taylesha and Zoe who have made it
through to the Metropolitan Championships to be held on Wednesday 8th March. We
wish the girls well next Wednesday.
WASPS Camp Feedback
Thanks to the many parents who returned the Camp Feedback Forms over the last few
weeks. At School Council it was decided that we have Camps for Grades 3/4 and 5/6
this year and next year with the view to whether our Camping Program becomes a
biennial event from 2019.
I am pleased to announce that our Grade 3/4 Camp will be held at Adanac CYC Camp in
Yarra Junction from 19th July-21st July.
Our Grade 5/6 Camp will be to Forest Edge, Nerrim East in September. We are just
waiting to confirm either the 18th-20th September or 11th-13th September.
All details of Camp and costings will be forwarded next week.
Assembly
Tomorrow is an Awards Assembly starting at 2.45p.m. We look forward to seeing
everyone at assembly.
Car Park
We still have a number of parents using the staff carpark and Hive carpark for drop off
and pick up. In the interests of the safety of all of our children, please do not use the
staff carpark. We also ask that all parents and students enter and exit the school via the
front gates, once again to ensure the safety of all children.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Principal
Vermont Lions Club and WASPS – connecting together! Over the past few years Vermont Lions Club has supported our school with a number of ventures including some children having the opportunity to attend Licola Camp during the holidays. HOWEVER, more recently we have enhanced the profile and connection with the Lions Club to bring learning and community engagement together. On Friday February 24th four gentlemen from Vermont Lions Club came to the school and worked with students in Year 5/6 and Mr Mac to consider opportunities to develop the school yard. The boys toured the men around the school grounds and finished off in the vegetable patch discussing possibilities to expand the aesthetics of the school grounds. Over the next 6 weeks the group will draw up plans and source materials to build up the vegetable
gardens to ensure the longevity and opportunity to grow produce to use in the Buzz. Plans and
ideas also tabled on Friday were to build some seats to put around the school ground for children
and parents to enjoy.

WE LOVE NETBALL. GO SOUTH!
I’m seeking your support for a significant community event coming up in Knox. I’m proud to be Patron of the event and I am encouraging local community groups to get behind the volunteer committee and get involved.
Knox Relay for Life supports the Cancer Council of Victoria. Relay for Life has been running in communities across Australia for 16 years and this will be the sixth anniversary of the Knox Relay for Life.
Knox Relay for Life consists of teams who walk, jog or run for 18 hours around the Knox Athletics Track. Rest assured, you don’t have to do the whole 18 hours yourself (although some people do!). Rather, your team has to ensure that your team’s baton is being carried for the entire duration. Teams gather sponsors and/or raise money for participating. The Relay is also a time to remember those who have been lost to cancer or are in the process of having treatment or to celebrate with those who have beaten cancer.
The Relay for Life this year is again occurring at Knox Athletics Track on Saturday 1 April 2017, starting at 4pm for the official opening and finishing on Sunday 2 April 2017 at 10am. The committee would like to see a record number of teams and participants for their sixth year as do I.
Please consider registering a team from your Community to participate in the event. Alternatively, you and your members would be very welcome to join TeamTudge or just come down to the event for part of the time and possibly throw in a few dollars.
You can find more detailed information and how to register at Knox Relay for Life.
