FUNDRAISER

(HOT CROSS BUNS)

AND

EASTER RAFFLE

A big thank you to everyone who supported our recent Easter Raffle and Hot Cross

Bun Fundraisers. This support was through the donation of prizes for the raffle, or by the

selling of raffle tickets and collecting orders for the buns.

Because of your efforts, we raised just over $1500 to put

towards equipment for

student use.

Last day of term The last day of school for

term one 2017 is tomorrow. School will

finish at 2.30pm following an assembly. 

Please make arrangements for the

earlier collection of your child/ren.

St udent Repor t s

First term reports have come home with the children to-day. For those families who have only joined Wyndham Vale Primary School in 2017 please be aware that we re-port to parents four times a year, which may be more of-ten than you are used too.

As a consequence these reports may not be as compre-hensive as you have received previously.

At our school we believe that it is more useful to parents to have reports come home more often with more up to date information rather than a larger report less often.

If you have any questions about this document please make an appointment to see your child?s class teacher.

School Phot os

Advance notice to parents: our school photos for 2017 have been scheduled for Tuesday, May 2.  Your child will need correct money on the day ? or credit card details ? if you wish to order copies of these photos.  Envelopes for ordering are expected to be sent home on the first day of term 2 and you may return them prior to photo day for safe keeping if you wish. To assist you with your planning, photo packages are around $30 ? depending on what you order. 

Parent s and Fr iends Associat ion (PFA)

Our next scheduled meeting of the PFA is Wednesday, April 19, 1:30pm. This is held at the back of the library.

All welcome including preschool

aged children.

weekend: Troy and Tracy Paton, William Haines, Niluka De Silva, Tneale Smith, Gabby

Steward and Jemima McDonald. We were fortunate

to get some great weather, which brought people out

A message from your school captains, Kokoa

and Rohith.......On Thursday last week the 5/6's ICT Club went to Wyndham Park Primary School for an ICT Forum.

Also on Friday the 5/6's went on an excursion to the Grand Prix to watch the Formula one practice laps.

On Monday we drew out Easter raffles at assembly and we would like to congratulate the winners. We would also like to thank the people who donated items for our raffle draw.

WVPS has started off with a very fast yet enjoyable term for 2017.

Just a reminder that on the last day of school we will be holding a sausage sizzle and out-of-uniform day. We will be leaving school at 2:30pm

From t he Ar t Room

What sort of world will our children enter into once they leave school? It will most likely be multicultural,

digital, real and virtual, propelled by images as much as words. It will be

keenly competitive as employers select applicants from around the

world, while employees work collaboratively yet remotely. With

dwindling resources and environmental concerns,

manufacturing will not lead the way. Instead, ideas, innovation

integrated in all areas of life will be necessary to create a viable future.

In a future that needs our full measure of thinking, Art education

is crucial. The skills needed for innovation; problem solving,

planning, creating, critical thinking, evaluating, resiliency, risk taking,

communicating, self-directing and collaborating, are the basis of Art

Education.

Before and Af t er School Child Care

Our program is growing and there-fore needs more space. After the holidays, you will find them in the gymnasium. A reminder that you do not need to have a permanent booking to use this service ? but you do need to have enrolled your child? . Then you can ring up and have your son or daughter cared for on days when you may be run-ning late. Go to their website http://bigchildcare.com/ for further information.
