宅男神器

Have you heard the news? To say the past 24 hours has been one of excitement is an understatement鈥�. We are trying to keep a lid on it until we know the election result, but just the thought of $15.4 million to re-build our school puts a smile on our face from ear to ear!聽 IF our dreams become reality, there is a strict process to follow鈥�. we know it won鈥檛 be a quick one鈥�..but we are here for the long haul.

This is not the only exciting news happening here at 宅男神器.聽 Every four years, schools in Victoria undertake a Strategic Plan Review which provides an opportunity to reflect on performance against targets that have been set previously and identify future focus areas for the next Strategic Plan.聽 Our turn for a school review is in February 2023.聽 There is a lot of work to get done before then.聽 To assist us with that we will be holding a Parent Forum on Friday 18th November at 9:30am to run through some data that connects to our current targets.聽 For those unable to attend the forum, we will send out the presentation and a feedback survey to complete so we can have a broad range of input.

To assist us in making sure we are ready for next year, if you or anyone you know would like to be part of our amazing school community in 2023 and they are not yet enrolled, please make sure enrolment forms are completed and returned to Jake in the office as soon as possible.

Also, we need to know if you鈥檙e in grades 1-5 and planning on leaving at the end of the year.

 

 

Russell’s Joke of the week:

 

Every morning I tell my wife that l’m going jogging, but I never go…

It’s a running joke.

Prep Excursion to Myuna Farm – By Archer T

Last week the Preps at 宅男神器 went to Myuna Farm. First, we went on the big fun bus. I sat next to Oisin. Second, we met the farmers, our farmer was called Farmer Jason. Next, we fed all of the animals and went on a train! We saw an emu, goats, guinea pigs and a snake. Then we went through the maze and played on the playground. It was the best day.

 

Navigating the online space with your child can be challenging. I have included an information sheet from the eSmart commission with some helpful tips and links for parents of primary aged children.

We have also booked the Cyber Safety Project to come to 宅男神器 on November 14 to conduct workshops with all of our students and staff. There will be a Compass event posted early next week with more details and payment options.
