Relieving Principal’s Message Congratulations to all the students and staff for getting into the spirit of Melbourne Cup Day by dressing up with crazy hair, hat or socks, with the gold coin donation going towards the Year 6 fundraiser.

Our school will acknowledge Remembrance Day next Monday 12 November at 10.30am. Remembrance Day (sometimes known informally as Poppy Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth of Nations member states since the end of the First World War to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty. Following a tradition inaugurated by King George V in 1919, the day is also marked by war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries. Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November in most countries to recall the end of hostilities of World War I on that date in 1918. Hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month", in accordance with the armistice signed by representatives of Germany and the Entente between 5:12 and 5:20 that morning. ("At the 11th hour" refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 am.) The First World War officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on 28 June 1919.

Thank you for your continued support of our fantastic school, great staff and amazing students.

Getting ready for our future school leaders….

Term 4 is a very busy term and an extremely important one for our Year 5 students. In just a few weeks’ time students and staff will have the opportunity to choose our school leaders for 2019. We are grateful for the fine leaders that we have had this year as they have shown initiative while demonstrating pride and respect. A Year 5 meeting was held where the policy and procedures for school captains and vice captains was outlined. Eligible students will now have the opportunity to indicate whether they wish to nominate themselves as potential school leaders for 2019. Nominees are expected to have displayed Effort, Respect and Responsibility in all settings, wear their uniform with pride and would be outstanding ambassadors for our school. From the nominations, students in 3-6 will then vote for one boy and one girl for the final voting round. These will be collated and the 7 boys and 7 girls with the greatest number of votes will be invited to prepare a speech for a leadership position. These students will deliver their speeches to students in years 2-6 at an assembly in the hall at 12:10pm on Monday 26 November 2018. After the speeches have been given, there will then be a second round of voting by staff and students in years 2-6, with the 2019 Captains and Vice Captains announced at Presentation Day on Wednesday, 5 December 2018. Vicki Crowhurst Assistant Principal
