Principal's message
It seems like only yesterday we were starting the term and now we are heading into the last week. I would like to congratulate the students on the way they started the year, giving special mention to our Entry students who have managed the transition to secondary school so well. This is a huge time of change for them, and they have shown such courage this term. Thanks also to the families and carers who have supported the students through this transition.
I hope that the two days of Student Parent Teacher Conferences have allowed students to reflect on their learning achievements in Term 1 and to seek any clarification or support in the last week before the Term 1 break.
A reminder that the school will close for the term break on Thursday 2 April and reopen for students on Tuesday 21 April (Monday 20 April is a staff PD day). During this time teachers and ES staff are not expected to reply to parent and student communications.
The “Coffee with the Principal” sessions for parents will continue in Term 2. I will also be adding sessions for students to have a chat with me. It will be a chance for students to talk about their experience and concerns with me. I will communicate with the students through their CETs to let them know when and how to be involved in Term 2.
Have a great week.

This is an all-day event held in the portables next to the oval.
Through age-appropriate activities and guided discussions, students will build emotional literacy, explore self-identity, and learn how traditional masculine norms can influence wellbeing and relationships. The workshop supports Personal and Social Capabilities, Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), and Respectful Relationships curriculum outcomes.
There will be a sausage sizzle BBQ at lunch run by the Red Earth campers who are raising funds to support a community project when they go to Central Australia in June. Sausages will be available for purchase for a gold coin donation. 🪙

Another year, another SNOW Camp!
Our annual SNOW camp will be held at Mt Buller (located on Taungurung land - First Nations people of the rivers and mountains).
Camp details as follows:
Dates: Monday 27 - Friday 31 July (Term 3 - Week 3)
Cost: approximately $1,300 - $1,500
So, you are aware, this camp will be capped, meaning spots are limited. This expression of interest (EOI) does not guarantee you a place on this camp.
Once EOI's have been submitted, a selection process will take place. To clarify, students who have attended this camp in the past two (2) years (2024 + 2025) will be given the lowest priority. Selected attendees must submit a $500 deposit to secure their spot.
Expressions of interest close by end of day Friday 1 MAY (Term 2 - Wk. 2).
Note: EOI's can only be completed using a student’s TC log-in. This same message has also gone out to each Community Team’s page.
