Holiday Break
I would like to wish all our families a wonderful break. Enjoy Christmas celebrations or just spending valuable time with your families. The weeks will pass, and it won’t be long before we’re all preparing for school once again. All students return on 31st January.
Reservoir Art Gallery – opening
On Monday, our student’s art exhibition space was officially opened. Our artist Safak was in attendance with families of the Reservoir Art Representatives. Whilst we had to go ahead with this in a small way due to restrictions, next year we look forward to holding more exhibitions in the gallery.

PREP TRANSITION
We have now had three sessions with our enthusiastic new Preps for 2022.
They have met their teacher and they know which Group they are in.
The excitement and enthusiasm about coming to school, learning, and having fun with friends is wonderfully
obvious. A couple of them are already wearing their school uniforms!

IT’S GREAT TO BE BACK!
Teachers are working extremely hard to catch up on their teaching program and also their assessments. After
so long away from school, it is imperative that teachers have an accurate picture of where every child is at in
all curriculum areas. Of course the aspects of English and Mathematics are a priority.
WORK CONTINUES ON OUR GYM
It’s starting to look like OURS!!

NAPLAN
I enclose a letter from the Education Minister:
The incredible resilience and hard work of Victorian educators, students and families has been reflected in the remarkable results for this year’s NAPLAN tests.

Leading the nation
Victoria has held the top spot as the highest-performing jurisdiction on seven out of ten measures in the primary school years. Our Year 3 and Year 5 numeracy results were the highest in the country.

WE WOULD LIKE TO REMIND PARENTS THAT OUR PREP ENROLMENTS for 2022 ARE OPEN!
If you have a child who turns 5 before the end of April next year, they are eligible to begin school. If you have relatives or friends, can you please ask them to obtain an enrolment form and return it to the office. The forms are on our website.

Progress on our Gym.
Work continues. Roofing sheets arrived and are now being put into place. Preparations are now going on for the concrete  slab for the other section of the gym.
I am constantly amazed at the works; how it is happening before our eyes.

Reporting
By the time you receive this, most of you will have already experienced your first WebEx reporting conference. This is a first for all our teachers and families, although I’m aware that some of you may have had this experience with secondary students in the past.
