We are delighted to be able to announce that Classroom Cuisine will be working with us providing school lunch orders that will be delivered to the school from the start of Term 2.  At this stage we will be trialling Classroom Cuisine during Term 2 and then making a decision later as to whether we can continue the service after that.

Classroom Cuisine has been in operation since 2009 and provides school lunches to over 80 schools in Melbourne including some of our neighbouring schools in Northcote, Fairfield and Thornbury.  Orders can be made for four days per week (Monday, Wednesday. Thursday and Friday) via their website with no orders or money being collected by or at the school.

For more information or to register please navigate to: 
https://classroomcuisine.com.au/
There is also a link to the Classroom Cuisine website on the menu at the left or download a copy of the menu below.

Lunch orders will be available at Pender's Grove from Wednesday April 19th.

Sister School Visit

6/4/2017

0 Comments

 
I was very proud last week to be able to represent Pender's Grove PS on a visit to our prospective sister school, Doan Thi Diem School in Hanoi, Vietnam.  

The school has around 3000 students in over 80 classes at their main campus and it was fantastic to see the students and teachers learning and teaching in a number of visits both there and to the school's other campuses during the week.  

The school's Principal, Mrs. Hien and her Assistant Principals were fantastic hosts and made sure that I saw not only saw lots of the school but also experienced a range of cultural activities during our time there.  

Students and staff from the school will be visiting Melbourne during this June and I am looking forward to catching up with them then.  I am also hoping we will be able to host students from the school at Pender's Grove during 2018.

See below for some images from the visit.

Well done Rylie!

17/3/2017

The Victorian School Sports Awards are the highest sporting accolades presented in the Victorian government school system and earlier this week, Rylie, one of our Grade Sixes from last year, received an award for her achievements in hockey.
Only three students from Victorian State primary and secondary schools received awards for hockey so this is a fantastic achievement by Rylie. 
Some of her achievements that were highlighted at the ceremony were:
 
· Selection in 2016 for Hockey Victoria’s under -13 team that competed at the National championships
· Representing Victoria  in the under-12 team at the School Sport Australia Championships
· 2015 Sportsperson of the year at her local hockey club
 
We are always proud of our students’ achievements outside of school and we congratulate Rylie and wish her all the best with her future involvement in hockey.

Pender's students have been having a fantastic time over the last few weeks participating in the Little Devils Circus program each week. 

The program teaches a range of age-appropriate circus skills over a number.of weeks across the term.  In the final week students will show off their skills at a special afternoon show for parents and the community. 

The Little Devils Program also aims to  increase feelings of resilience and coping, with a focus on teaching perseverance, building confidence and self-esteem

What a great week we have had back at school here at Pender's this week! 

On Thursday we welcomed our 22 new Foundation students and it has been great to see how well they have settled into the school and the enthusiasm on their faces each morning! 

Our Grade 1-6 students have been back at school since Tuesday and they have been working hard on our startup program this week.  The startup program focusses on the new school year and ways in which we can all be our best in our learning and for our community. 

Don't forget about our 2018 Prep Experience program that starts on February  13th. More detail can be found in the post below this one.

Thanks everyone for their tremendous efforts over the last 12 months with fundraising for our new shade sails.  Our installers have finished their work today and the area looks fantastic. It was lovely to see so many students making the most of this huge new quiet space to eat, chat and rest during lunchtime and recess today.

Don't stop dancin'!

What a great night we had last Friday when so many of our students, parents carers and families came along to our Footsteps Dance Night.  Over the last term our students have been participating in weekly dance lessons and this was their night to show those fantastic skills off!  It was also great to see so many family members getting up and joining in with the fun! 

Thanks to everyone who came along and, as always, to our fantastic Community Events Committe who organised the sausage sizzle on the night.

"This year 11 November marks the 98th anniversary of the Armistice which ended the First World War (1914–18). Each year on this day Australians observe one minute’s silence at 11 am, in memory of those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts."

In Art this week students have been making poppies of various sizes and media to mark Remembrance Day. The poppies have been used to create a large temporary outdoor artwork.
