THIS WILL BE the last week for icy poles for the season. Only had 46 takers last week so am assuming

that the cold weather is not conducive to the children wan$ng a frozen treat! However, there will be

super doopers given out at the end of the DISCO, which is next FRIDAY 26th

of May. It is being run during

school hours, the kids can come to school in free dress, have the disco, enjoy an icy-pole and all for only

$2!!!!! The money is being raised on behalf of the Salva$on Army for their annual Red Shield Appeal. We

also have a $n in the office if you have any change that you would like to donate.

JUST WANTED to give some more informa$on regarding your School Council. The School Council is

made up of 12 people, 7 parents, 1 community member and 4 staff members. When mee$ngs occur

there always needs to be more non-staff members than members. Each member of the School Council is

required to be on at least one sub-commi@ee. All the sub commi@ees discuss things under their

‘umbrella’ and then make recommenda$ons to School Council for approval. The sub commi@ees cannot

do anything without approval. The School Council oversees the Finance, Educa$on and Buildings and

Grounds Commi@ees. The School Council does not make decisions regarding staff, class sizes/

configura$ons, teachers in grades, or methods of communica$on. When the School Council oversees the

finances, it is just that. They ensure that the finances are correctly expended and receipted and oversee

the financial decisions made by the school. The parents on School Council are your representa$ves. They

work on School Council on behalf of parents. If you have any query that you think is a School Council

ma@er, just ask them and they will be able to let you know if it is or if it is a direct query for the School. In

regards to our Communica$on vehicles (website/Compass/Facebook etc.) there will be discussion at

School Council about changes that we may make, but it is to inform not to gain approval. Decisions such

as these are made at the school level. There is a manual in the front office regarding all the aspects of

School Council – it is lengthy but not a laborious read, so if you want some more informa$on come in and

have a read!

THANKS to all the parents who organised and gave up their $me last week to provide a mother’s day

stall. I heard from a prospec$ve parent who came in for a school tour, that they had been to schools that

no longer did anything for mother’s day or father’s day so as not to upset anyone, so we are lucky indeed!

ANDREW HIGGINS has been teaching, $ming and training the students for cross-country and has the

Cross Country Team ready for Fridays’ run at the athle$cs track. Good luck to the team and parents are of

course encouraged to come along and spectate!

THANK YOU FOR all the support we had at the Book Fair. It was great to see lots of students

and parents looking at the books and all the miscellaneous items. I have bought three new

picture storybooks and will share them with students when they come by! Thanks to Jane Gan-

gell, Lorraine James and Debbie Dunn for all the organisa$on and thanks to all the staff who

went along to help.

THERE WAS a mixed reac$on at the news last week that we were going to archive the Face-

book page that we have been running for a couple of years. The reason we started it in the first

place, does not really exist anymore as we have other communica$on channels. However, whilst

many parents are happy to no longer engage with it, there are a number of you who want to

keep it for the ‘’community aspect” it provides. Therefore, some parents have asked if they

can create one for Parents of Wa@leview, which seems to be a solu$on that should keep every-

one content. Those who want to s$ll interact this way can, those who do not want to maintain

the communica$on can leave the group. This op$on allows everyone to do what suits them best.

The school will con$nue to use Compass and the Website to communicate!

CE DANCE CLUB.

My name is Clare Cornell and I run "CE DANCE CLUB".

I am a self-mo$vated and crea$ve professional dancer with over 40 years experience in jazz, tap, ballet, hip hop, funk, contemporary, lyrical and

Broadway styles. I am also an ex gymnast and have coached gymbaroo, gymnas$cs and acroba$cs.

I have been teaching dance and choreographing school produc$ons in various primary schools around the Knox area for the last 10 years and I will

be con$nuing teaching at WVPS throughout 2017.

Dancing and performing are great ways to build fitness and confidence in children, and having lessons during lunch$mes is convenient for parents

too, not having to drive to outside dance schools in the evenings or on weekends.

CE DANCE CLUB has performed at many events, including schools Open Nights, Performance Nights, Grandparents Shows, School Produc$ons,

Christmas Carols Shows and various school assemblies. We have also performed at The Knox Fes$val, The Oxfam Fes$val and The Victorian Dance

fair Compe$$on where we have won the solo, duo, team and troupe events!

Classes are held during Monday or Tuesday lunch$mes in the school gym.

Price is $10 per 45 minute class, and a term fee is required on enrolment.

School uniform is worn during class, and bare feet - therefore no dance uniform or dancing shoes will be required.

A costume is provided to all members whenever we are performing, you will not be required to purchase one at any $me.

CE DANCE CLUB is for both girls AND boys! Any other students wishing to join up are also welcome to do so at any $me.

Please contact Clare for more details on - 0417031233or via email on - cedanceclub@hotmail.com

These two weeks we are working on the topic of cars, sensory play and also celebrating Education Week with

Healthy body and minds. I have created a sensory tub with flour and toys for the little ones. Cars is a raving interest

among the boys so we will be creating car games and tracks. For education week well be discussing healthy body

and minds and doing some cooking as well.

Week 3 & 4

Children enjoyed making their mother’s day pressies and most of the mums loved the cards, bracelets, necklaces

and flower vases. We also celebrated Jades birthday with a jelly cakes, cupcakes, music and dance.

Quick note from Manisha

Just a reminder to all families to make your bookings prior to the session as we want to support children and keep

them safe at all times. We have quite a few new families availing our services and we are always there to assist you

with any queries you have. Please feel free to come in during session times or make a time with myself to have a

little chat. I will also be available on the 24th May, Wednesday from 9:00- 10:00am during school tours for a little

chat in the OSCH room.

PARENTS PLEASE NOTE:

It is of high importance that you cancel your child if they are NOT attending either before or after school care.

If any parents have any ideas of what they would like to see happen in before and after school care, please drop in for a chat we are always looking for new ideas!

Does your child do any outer school activities? If so, we would love to have some brochures to put in our com-munity folder to help recruit any other children that are looking for outer school activities!

We’re here to make after school care visits the best experience possible – for you and your child.

If you have any questions about the program – please feel free to drop by, meet the team and see what happens in

after school care first hand.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

The Camp Australia Team.
