FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK
Hi Everyone
On Tuesday Mrs Jones and our school captains, Ishell and Steven, accompanied me to the Clydesdale Square in
Cranbourne to participate in the Remembrance Day Service. On behalf of the school community both captains,
along with members of the public and many other schools, laid a wreath at the Cenotaph in Remembrance. Back at
school at 11:00am the entire school paused for one minute’s silence to commemorate Remembrance Day and the
Pledge of Remembrance read over public address system. Red poppies are often worn on Remembrance Day and
at school many students in all home groups wore red poppies for Remembrance Day 2014.
Yesterday Mr Beach (Performing Arts specialist) and Mrs Kosach (Assistant Principal) along with Amy Hanks took
fifty eight members of the school choir to perform at the Kmart store in Bayside Shopping Centre in Frankston.
The choir performed to a very high standard and received much applause from the public in attendance. Mr Beach
informed me this was the best performance by far and the students are to be commended for their outstanding
performance. Video clips and photos will appear on the website and the weekly assembly.
Today the second of five new relocatable classrooms arrived on site. To assist with the relocation of the largest,
cranes arrived on site much to the amazement of our students who thoroughly enjoyed viewing the crane
maneuvering the sections into place.
The school is well into the 2015 school year planning cycle. I ask parents whose children will be leaving the school
to contact the office and if parents have yet to enroll their children into the school, or know of a neighbour or
friend who have children yet to enroll to also contact the office. Our school enrolments are increasing at a rapid
rate which impacts on the recruitment of staff and procurement of classrooms. Thank you for your support with
this matter.
A reminder for all students to wear approved school hats while walking to and from school, during recess, lunch
and during any period of instruction or recreation while outside. The harmful effects of the sun can never be
underestimated.
Camp Australia’s before and after school care is open every day before and after school. Come join us for some fun
activities including art and craft, sport, and construction. We're open from 7:00am until school commences and from
3:15pm until 6:00pm at night. Holiday Club is now available for bookings. We'll be running a holiday club from
January 5th until the start of term, within the hours of 7:00am until 6:00pm. There are a lot of fun activities planned,
so please contact us for a flier of planned activities and more information on our excursions, visits and other fun
activities. Call 0413411834 or visit www.campaustralia.com.au .
This is a great item of news too good not to share with the school community. Tracey Ferris, one of our members
of the Year 6 teaching team recently participated in the Pan Pacific Masters Calisthenics competitions. Tracey was
just a tad excited as she informed me of her gold, silver and bronze medal achievement. Congratulations to Tracey
and thank you for sharing your medals.
Remember to read with your child every evening and ensure your child arrives at school on time each day to
commence their learning.
Congratulations to Mrs Tara Stubbs who recently gave birth to a baby boy, Spencer Patrick. Both Tara and Spencer
are well. The school will be adding a photo of Spencer to our ‘baby photo wall’ in the staff room.
Chad (Year 1B) and Shenelle (Year 3B) recently entered into a colouring completion to celebrate the launch of the
Recycling Calendar and National Recycling Week. Both Chad and Shell achieved success and were invited to an
afternoon tea of celebration with City of Casey Mayor Mick Moyland and representatives from VISY.
Kind regards Garry & Staff

Adopt a Family for Christmas
A whole school community appeal
Many people take a big family lunch or dinner on
Christmas day for granted. However there are
many people who can’t afford to have either of
these, so this is where the community of
Cranbourne East Primary School can assist.
The idea of this program is to make a donation of
collected non-perishable groceries in the form of
hampers, to local families in need this Christmas.
With the assistance of the local Salvation Army
and Bunnings we would like to help families in the
community.
Each Learning Neighbourhood will have a basket
assigned to a family. Children are asked to place
their donation in the basket. The children will
decorate the basket prior to it being collected and
delivered to the families.
We are requesting that our school community
donate NON PERISHABLE food items between
now and 9th December to contribute to the
Christmas basket. Ideally goods for the basket
could be used for breakfast, lunch, dinner and
snacks. So when you do your weekly shopping,
start adding an extras can of tinned food, a box of
cereal, bag of sweets etc., and put it aside for the
basket. In no time our community will have
contributed to supplying enough food to make a
struggling families Christmas meals possible.
The baskets will be collected from our school and
distributed by the Salvation Army.
*Please ensure that food items use-by date is
current for Christmas time and weeks after*
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
Mrs Kathy Jones
Assistant Principal

Last Thursday the Junior School (Prep-2)
participated in the Junior Athletics Carnival. The
