For your Diary
The Anzac walk was fantastic and I was so proud of our students. Our
School Captains, Molly and Youki laid a beautiful wreath made by the
students. They, along with Mitchell looked great in the local paper. The
students all listened in silence as we played the Last Stand.

We had School Council Meeting last Monday night and as always it was
interesting and important for the governance of our school. We will be
further discussing our performance last year, look at the Annual Report
for 2014 and look for areas to make further progress and to improve.
You are welcome to attend if you have items you would like to raise or
send me or other councillors an email. Please remember if there are
areas needing improvement unless you let me or others know I cannot
address them.
The term has started well with new activities: one class of Middle school
students have tennis coaching in Inverloch on a weekly basis whilst the
other group are involved in the sailability program, juniors have
gymnastics sessions weekly run by Miranda from Leongatha Gymnastics
and the seniors have started weekly lessons in Taekwondo. It is good to
see the students being active.
This term students are working on setting up our Learning Stone. It will
be launched on Thursday, May 28th. Please keep this date free so you
can come and join our celebration. All parents/carers should have
received a copy of their child’s individual learning plan; if there are any
queries please contact myself or the teachers at school.

Room 4 students enjoyed boating on
Monday on large yachts or power boats, leaving
from New Haven Yacht club as part of the
Sailability program. The smiles of students told
stories of the new adventure; wearing life jackets,
hoisting sails, exploring the cabin or waving to the
other boats on the water. Staff and students look
forward to the next adventure and thank the New
Haven Yacht Squadron for donating their time and
a place aboard their boats.
