From the Principal

Dear parents and carers,

Anticipation is growing around the school for our School Performance in the last week of Term 2. There is music playing and groups dancing all over the school and we cannot wait to see the final product. 

The Week Ahead

Winter Tri-sports

Congratulations to our football and netball teams who competed last Friday in Warrnambool at the next level of the Tri Sports. Despite falling just short of progressing on, our teams showed great character and sportsmanship at the event. I received feedback from two people about their behaviour, despite poor attitude from some other teams and I am very proud of our seniors.

Crocs

Last year we asked that students not wear crocs to school or at school for a number of safety and social reasons. Some of this footwear has returned and we are asking parents to support us by ensuring that these remain at home. 

Employment News

After an extensive recruitment process, we are delighted to announce that the following appointments have been made for next term.
5/6WS - Amy's Family leave will be filled by Katrina Donoghue. (Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday)
Art Specialist - Vickie's role will be filled by Clare Younis on Tuesday & Wednesday and by Pru Darcy on Thursdays.
We welcome these new people to our staff and thank Pru for her wonderful commitment to the school.

Canteen

The canteen staff have asked us to reiterate that they do not provide credit at the canteen, all lunches are to go through the Spriggy app.  If you are having trouble accessing the app, please contact Daniel Beard at Mercy Regional College.

Fruit

Some time ago we began buying additional fruit for the occasions when a child may be still hungry after meal times. Last week we had 2 kilograms of apples devoured before our second break. This is great news for their healthy choices but perhaps parents could pop an extra piece of fruit into lunch boxes to ensure they have enough during the day.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Watch this, Space!

Our school production is fast approaching. The children are busy practicing their routines with Kirsty and Vickie.

The production will be held in the MRC stadium on Tuesday the 25th June which is a matinee performance at 12 noon, Wednesday the 26th June and Thursday the 27th June which are evening performances at 7pm. 

It's the year 2200. The very last piece of coal just ran out and the President Of the World (POW  for short) can't take their nightly bubble bath. With absolutely no help from the A.I. Vice  President, POW discovers that a new type of energy has just been invented—Kinesiactricity: the  power generated by large dance mobs. The only problem? No one on Earth has danced since  the Great TikTok Crash of 2062 and everyone has forgotten how.  

With the help of the world's oldest human—the last dance historian on Earth—POW must take a  ragtag team on a treacherous journey to the stars to save not only the bubble baths, but also  the Earth from a danceless future.
