What a term!

What a fantastically busy Term 2 we have had!  We have seen wonderful learning in classes with inquiry units focussed on Earth Science, plants and growing.  This was a wonderful fit for our inaugral mid winter Solstice Festival last week which saw a huge number of our families and students here at the school on Friday evening sharing soups and a BBQ and also participating in a spectacular lantern parade where much of the work creating lanterns was done as part of our weekly cross age activities.  Our inquiry unit in the F-2 Area also saw students planting in our new planter boxes in the playground with the help of our friends from Northland Bunnings.

We also saw the offical signing of our Memoradnum of Understanding with our new sister school, Doan Thi Diem Primary School in Hanoi.  We were honoured and delighted to have Mrs Hien and Mr Nguyen visit us at the school as part of the process. 

We have also seen a number of improvements works take place at th school over the term.  Paitning of our Specilist building is almost complete and we will also see our front fence gain a new coat of paint over the holidays. 

Two weeks ago it was great to see our whole school participate in a full day excursion to the Venuto club in Bulleen for our yearly Italian Day. Students spent the day cooking, dancing and playing and it is lovely to be part of  school community where our size means that we can take all of our students out together for a day! 

Thanks to all of our students and families for a wonderful term of learning and community and we wish you all a happy holiday!

School starts again for Term 3 on Monday July 17th!
