House Sports
A reminder that Friday 27th May is House Sports day. The day will start at 10am
and conclude at lunchtime.
Parents are invited to stay and have lunch with their children.
New Music Room
The Music room is up and running. We are waiting on a balustrade to be made
and installed which shouldn’t be much longer.
Education Week
Open night was very successful with many current families and new families
visiting the school. The work the students have done was fabulous and I am sure
you would have all enjoyed the opportunity to see their progress. As usual the
grandparent’s morning tea was well attended. A special thank you to Mrs Martin
and Miss King as the playing of the Blue Danube and the dancing with
grandparents was a huge highlight of the morning.
Bike Rack
Many students have been riding their bikes to school and it is really pleasing to
see that they are dismounting from their bikes before they come into the school
grounds. Remember forms are at the office if you wish to ride to school.
Past Students
Several of our past students have achieved some outstanding results. Jonah and
Jack have been selected to represent Victoria at the World Mathematical Olympiad to be held in Korea in August. The boys will be travelling to Korea for 5
days.
Jordan has been selected to represent the EFL in the U13 Interleague team. He
will be playing in a tournament on the Queen’s Birthday weekend.
We are very proud of them all and we wish them every success!
Enrolments
If you have a child eligible to start school in 2017 please pick up some
enrolment papers at the office. We are taking enrolments and would like to have
our numbers confirmed as soon as possible.

Sewing Club
The majority of girls are on the last part of their bears, sewing the ears on and learning how to
hand stitch the nose. There has been great excitement from all the girls as a bear is finished. I am
really proud of the way they have worked together, shared
equipment and been patient
with each other.

From the Art Room
It was so lovely to catch up with all the friends of the Art room at Open Night and Grandparent’s day. The children worked hard on
their wonderful art pieces. They looked great!
During the last holidays, Holly and Caitlyn Waite were lucky enough to visit the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) with their Dad.
Having studied Picasso and Monet in Art, they went looking for some of their artwork. And to their credit, they found a painting by
each on the second level. As you can see in the photo the girls are standing next to the original paintings. How exciting!
The gallery is Australia’s oldest public art museum. We’re very lucky it’s in Melbourne! The actual collection is so big that it is spread
over two buildings—NGV on St Kilda Road and the Ian Potter Centre at Federation Square. There is always a lot to see and explore.
General entry is free and the galleries are open 10am-5pm daily. This could be a great holiday activity…
