Book Week - Curious Creatures, Wild Minds

23/10/2020

 
Last week was Book Week and our students were busy all week reading and being creative with this year's theme "Curious Creatures - Wild Minds".  We weren't able to have a dress up day for families to come and watch this year but it didn't stop 12C making their own costumes and having a parade!  
4/5A: 
​4/5A visualised their ideal book week costume and drew the character that inspired the costume

Specialist Art:

F/1s: Animal hats in response to 'When Billy was a Dog'.

Return to on-site schooling

20/5/2020

 
Following advice from the Victorian Government on Tuesday 12 May, some students will be returning to school from Tuesday 26 May. 

The Victorian Chief Health Officer has advised that it is safe for Victorian school students and teachers to return to on-site schooling in a two-staged approach: 
* Stage 1 – from Tuesday 26 May

Early years students (Prep to Grade 2) and senior secondary students (Year 11 and 12) undertaking the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) and Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL), and all specialist school students will return to on-site schooling. All staff will attend on-site. 

* Stage 2 - from Tuesday 9 June
Grade 3 to Year 10 students will return to on-site schooling, subject to health advice.  The Department’s latest advice on can be found at www.education.vic.gov.au/coronavirus

Please see below for some specific advice regarding our school:
*A-K surname students school day 8.50 - 3.15  and L-Z surname students 9.05 - 3.30. Please do not drop students off/arrive at school more than 10mins before the allocated start time.

*All students must bring a refillable drink bottle (no glass please). Outdoor taps cannot be directly used for drinking.

*Parents/carers must drop students at the gate and cannot come into the playground unless needing to go to the office via the front gate. Please talk to your child about which gate you will meet them at (the gate nearest the crossing will not be in use to avoid congestion). 

*Parents may enter the school yard to drop off/pickup students at OSHC before 8.45/after 3.45.

Remote Learning in Term 2

10/4/2020

0 Comments

 
Following advice from the Victorian Government on Tuesday 7 April, Pender's Grove PS will be moving to remote and flexible learning from Term 2 (beginning with a pupil-free day on Tuesday April 14th). 
This is a step all Victorian government schools are taking to help slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). This means that all students who can learn at home must learn from home. 

This is a very clear directive from the Victorian Government based on the advice of the Chief Health Officer.
We will continue to offer limited on-site learning for those students who need to access this, including for students on days when they are not able to be supervised at home and no other arrangements can be made.  We will provide further information about this shortly.

The Department’s latest advice on coronavirus can be found at https://www.education.vic.gov.au/coronavirus
It is important that we work together and support each other during this challenging time. We will be in touch with staff and parents and carers shortly with further details of what remote and flexible learning will look like at our school. 
​
In the meantime, you might find it useful to look at the Department’s Learning from Home website. It provides resources and guidance for teachers and parents and carers. https://www.education.vic.gov.au/about/department/Pages/learningfromhome.aspx
