Dear parents,
Election Day - Voting Centre at Macedon Primary
We are an election day voting centre this Saturday. We are hoping to run an election day sausage sizzle, but this can only be done with the help of volunteers. So if you can spare an hour or two, please contact Briohny on 0414857260.
Christmas Market
We are also hosting the Macedon Village Christmas market this Saturday. There will be a mix of regular farmer's market stall holders along with a range of gift stalls. Please come along if you can, 9am - 1pm.
Lunch Order Providers
The Farm Truck had a great first day on Thursday with over 150 orders received. Orders can be made at anytime through the Flexischools app, but will close at 8:00am on a Thursday morning. If you have missed this deadline there is a limited menu available to order until 10:00am. This service is run by an outside provider, The Farm Truck, so If you have any questions about the online ordering system, please look up www.flexischools.com.au
Hanging Rock Bike Ride
We have our annual Hanging Rock bike ride scheduled for tomorrow and we’re looking forward to stretching our legs and getting out for this ride. The year 5/6 students will travel down Middle Gully Road and Boundary Road to get to the Hanging Rock. We usually have a play and lunch at Hanging Rock before making the ride home. I expect to be a fun filled day.
Disability Inclusion Survey (family survey)
Disability Inclusion is increasing support for students with disability to ensure every student at every ability thrives at school and in life. Disability Inclusion is being rolled out to Victoria’s 1500+ Victorian government schools between 2021-2025, delivering:
1. A new strengths-based Disability Inclusion Profile
2. A tiered school funding model
3. Increased workforce capability to provide inclusive education
The Department have engaged Deloitte Access Economics to undertake an independent evaluation of Disability Inclusion.
As part of this evaluation, Deloitte is conducting a short online survey (no more than 15 minutes) of families in Victorian government schools implementing Disability Inclusion.
The survey aims to capture family awareness and understanding of Disability Inclusion, any adjustments made at a student-level and attitudes towards inclusion of students with disability more generally.
As part of this evaluation, Deloitte is surveying all families with children enrolled in Victorian government schools. This includes families who have children with disabilities and those who do not.
Please note, participation is entirely voluntary, and families are under no obligation to participate. If you wish to provide input, you can complete the survey here: family survey. We want to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to participate. If you would prefer an alternative way to share your experiences and perspectives (such as completion via phone) please email: diproject@deloitte.com.au.
Kind regards and Sampai jumpa (until next time),
Matt
