Factions for Athletics Carnival

This year we will have a combined

schools Athletics Carnival with

Westminster Primary (senior school)

and Westminster Education

Support Centre. Currently the senior

school have three factions and

they have quite a few activities

where students identify with those

factions. At our school, it is only at

the Athletics Carnival that students

are put into their factions. In order

for the Carnival to run smoothly, our

school will change from 4 factions

to 3 factions. This means that your

child may change factions this

year. If your child has an older

sibling at one of the other schools

we will put them in the sibling’s

faction.

If you have any concerns about

the changes please speak with me

as soon as possible on 9349 4290.

Parents will be notified about the

specific changes before the end of

term.

Dear Parents and Caregivers

Congratulations

I would like to acknowledge the

hard work of Mrs Lis Mathiasen

who has been successful in

winning a Travel Award from the

World Organisation for Early

Childhood Education (OMEP) for

her project on play and resilience.

Mrs Mathiasen will fly to Korea with

her project partner, Dr Dawn

Butterworth in July to present at

the OMEP Conference.

It is wonderful that our students

can work with such talented staff

and we wish Mrs Mathiasen a safe

and successful trip.

Parking and Driving Safely

I have been notified by the Police

Traffic Infringement Department

that there are a number of parents

not parking safely. The police have

also requested that parents make

sure that there are appropriate

safety restraints (car seats) and

that cars are not over crowded

with children.

Please be aware that police will

be visiting the school parking areas

before and after school to check

that cars have the correct number

of car seats.
