Today we celebrated Book Week with a fantastic hat parade, based on the theme
"Book Safari". The preps and their big buddies had worked particularly hard to
create a range of spectacular hats, which were proudly shown at Assembly. Thanks
to all the children, from all grades, who participated and especially to the
buddies for being such wonderful helpers to their younger friends.

hose! |

August 19: 2009 is the International Year of
Astronomy. To celebrate National Science Week, the Grades 3-6 children worked
with the CSIRO on a range of experiments and activities aimed at increasing
their understanding of rockets and space exploration. The children had a
fantastic time launching Mylanta and marble rockets, powering a solar satellite,
re-hydrating space food, working with space tools, investigating gravity and
matching satellite images. They also learnt a great deal about the history of
space exploration and the space race, and how rockets and shuttles are launched.
It was a very enjoyable and informative session, and a great celebration of the
work of astronauts and space scientists.

athletes for the competition. |

Immigration Museum and the Koorie Heritage Trust. The students participated in a variety of activities gaining knowledge
of Immigration
laws in Australia over time and a deeper
understanding of why people have immigrated to other countries. At
the Koorie Heritage Trust, the students also learnt
about local Indigenous history and had a tour through the gallery. |

August 8: A huge thank-you to everyone
involved in the organisation of the Car Boot Sale and to everyone who
came along. There were many treasures to be found, as well as face
painting, delicious cakes and the always-popular sausage sizzle! It was
a greatly enjoyable day. It was also very successful, with the school
raising over $1500. |
