Year 3/4 students, staff and a couple of parent volunteers travel to Melbourne this week for the Urban Camp. The Urban Camp provides students with the opportunity to engage with a number of exciting, city-based activities. They will return to school Friday evening.

I have direct emailed all families with information about the School Savings Bonus – a one off, $400.00 grant for each student enrolled in a Government School next year. Please check your email to read about how it works. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Congratulations to all students who participated in the District Athletics last week. As always, Yackandandah Primary School students participated in great spirit and seized the chance to push themselves to do their best. A large number of students have qualified for the Division Athletics early next term. We will run a bus to the Division Athletics and those who have qualified will be accompanied by Robyn and Lauren. Robyn will share more details with students who have qualified.

Now that Spring is with us the UV ratings are climbing. Next week we will be reminding students to wear their hats when outside at school. There will be a little leeway next week, but following that, if students do not have their hat they will be restricted to covered areas during break time. New hats are available for purchase at school.

Featuring Stefan Cassomenos and Sophie Rowell, Emma Sullivan, Merrewyn Bramble and Blair Harris, Members of Melbourne Chamber Orchestra.
Written when the composer was just 22, Schubert’s Trout quintet remains one of the most joyous, life-affirming works in the chamber music repertoire. Featuring the unusual combination of piano, violin, viola, cello and double bass, Schubert’s music invites us to enjoy endless harmonic and melodic inventiveness.

Pianist and composer Stefan Cassomenos will present a short pre-concert talk commencing 30mins prior to the start of the performance. This talk is included in the price of admission, and – aside from purchasing a ticket – no registration is necessary.

This project is supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria
