Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome Back for Term 4. This term we have many events and activities to look forward to before we wrap up the school year so please stay in tune with our important dates.
Transition is always an important part of term 4, as well as our swimming and surfing programs.
We currently have a waiting list for enrolments in some year levels, so if any families know that they are relocating at the end of the year, please let us know as soon as possible.
Our building project is getting very close to completion. We hope to have occupancy at the end of October, once the external works are completed. It looks amazing!
Planning for 2023 is well underway. As we did last year, we will be using Class Creator to create class groupings. Academic and social information for each student is entered prior to the groups being generated by the algorithm within the program. There is no need for parents to make requests. Our teachers know your children very well. Classes are grouped and regrouped for key learning areas, which exposes them to a variety of pairings.
We have changed the date of the Term 4 Working Bee from this Saturday to Saturday October 29. With the completion of the new building nearing, we thought we would hold off so that the jobs that will need doing around the outside of new building can be done at this time.
If you are available to assist with this working bee, please click on the link below.
We send our prayers and sympathy to the following families who have lost a love one:
Rohan, Georgia & Nellie (Yr 2) Bourke, on the death of Rowan's mother and to Cath, Justin & Ruby (Yr 4) Connellan on the death of Cath's father.
The Star of the Sea Parish (Warrnambool, Koroit & Port Fairy) is facilitating a monthly preparation evening for parents whose children will be celebrating the sacrament of Baptism. The information session will take place at 7.00pm every second Tuesday of each month, commencing Tuesday October 11th. Further enquiries or to book contact the Parish Office (Fr. Bill Lourey).
We wish Isaiah Killen all the best for the Greater Western Region Athletics in Ballarat where he will be competing in high jump section. He has been training hard during the holidays so we wish him all the best.
This year's swimming lessons commence this Friday, October 7 and run until Friday December 9.

We’re holding a School Colour Run as a major fundraising event this term! The event will be held on THURSDAY, 1st DECEMBER. We are really hoping to raise $8000 which will pay for the RESURFACING of the BASKETBALL/ NETBALL COURTS.
Keep your eyes peeled for the sponsorship forms which will be sent home with your child tomorrow. Once you have the form, you should sign up for a Student Profile Page at schoolfunrun.com.au. You’ll be able to access online fundraising and can win a $20,000 Ultimate Family Package!
Students who raise $10 or more will receive a reward, and the more money you raise the better the reward, and the more you help the school!
We’re looking for all students to participate and we’re organising a great day for our school community, so we’d love as many people on the day to come and cheer the kids on! We’re also looking for some helpers, so if you’re available please call the school on 03 5568 1371.
If you have any questions about the Colour Run please contact the School Fun Run Office on 1800 FUN RUN.
Thanks for supporting the school and we hope to see you at the event!
