This Wednesday about 13 students will compete at the Regional Swimming event in Shepparton. It is such a great achievement to reach this stage and I’m sure the children and parents will enjoy the experience.

Although early in the year, it is worth beginning to think about Yr. 6 – 7 transitions. Secondary Schools are beginning to advertise information sessions and open days. It is always worth looking at all your options. Below is some information from Wodonga Middle Years College.

Wodonga Middle Years College is opening its doors for their ‘On Show’ event held on Thursday March 23^rd.

This is your opportunity to tour our Huon and Felltimber campuses, explore our classrooms and specialist facilities to support your Middle Years education from 3.30pm – 5pm.

Then at 7pm, you can join our College Leaders online for our information session and live Q&A where we’ll be answering your questions.

Family Statements
Statements will be sent home this week to Year 5/ 6 families with the camp cost on it.  The statements will also show any credit or CSEF money you have. These amounts can be used towards the cost of the camp – this year’s CSEF hasn’t been received yet but if you know you are receiving it you can also deduct that off the cost.   The camp may be paid off in instalments.  When making payment please ensure you put your surname and camp in the reference. Full payment is required by Friday 26^th May unless other arrangements have been made.

Statements will also be sent out to families who still owe money for any of the swimming sports that their child has attended.  Prompt payment would be greatly appreciated.

Enjoy your week!

We Show Respect

At Yackandandah Primary School, we show respect to others, to our property, and to ourselves. This week in SEL, we explored all the ways we show the value of respect in and around our school. Some things the children came up with were being a kind friend, taking care of your classroom equipment, speaking in a nice voice and helping people when they need it. If we all do these things, we have a school where students, staff and parents feel welcomed and safe.
