Dear Parents, Ministerial Visit
In our last newsletter I announced that our school has been selected to launch the State Governments Music in Schools Program which was to involve a visit from the
Honour-able James Merlino – Member for Monbulk, Deputy Premier and Education Minister.
The launch was postponed and at this stage I have not been given a new date. I will send further details about this as they come to hand.

NAPLAN results have come in and have been distributed to parents this week. NAPLAN is only one aspect of the assessment and reporting that we do in schools and is a point in time snap shot of a student’s performance. Please contact your child’s teacher if you wish to discuss your child’s individual results. In general, the schools relative gain has continued to strengthen each year for the past three years and this of course is very pleasing.
ILLNESS & ABSENCES
There has been a nasty flu virus going through the school. If your child is sick please keep them home, but please notify the school on 9366 2071 if they are going to be ab-sent from school.
