Mr Marley's Message

Well, that was a Term to remember! I have said it many times before but I need to keep expressing my sincere thanks to all of you - parents, students, staff - for your incredible support and patience during this difficult time.

I am so pleased to have all of our students back at school now, but with a worrying trend of new cases of COVID-19 in parts of Melbourne we all need to remain vigilant. I am confident that we won't have to return to remote learning in the foreseeable future, but if we ever do, we are prepared.

During the school holidays I will keep you all informed of any new developments and advice that may come from DET. Hopefully we will soon be able to welcome parents and care-givers back onto the school grounds.

​

I'm sure you have seen the wonderful new sensory garden at the front of the school, with the centrepiece of the Earth globe which has been re-positioned from its original place in the frog bog area. The new garden was made possible by a $3,000 sponsorship grant from our friends at Upper Yarra Community Enterprises and Warburton & Yarra Junction Community Bank Branches. It's a beautiful new feature of the school and the kids love it! A huge thank you to Kel and Lachlan Frost and their team of helpers for making this a reality.  

By now you will have received student reports for Semester One. I hope you have had time to read them and discuss them with your children. We look forward to providing reports in the usual and more detailed format in December.

​

Have a wonderful winter break! Stay safe and enjoy the warmth of home if you can.
