Principal’s Report
Hi everyone, I hope everyone has had an enjoyable week so far.
It has certainly been another busy week at school. Yesterday while the school was out at the Melbourne Museum, I
have been attending our Regional Principals Conference in the City. The conference was held over Wednesday and
Thursday and provides an opportunity for Principals around the state to participate in a number of workshops
conducted by both international and local educators. I look forward to sharing my reflections with you next week.
Lightening Premiership
Last Thursday a small group of students headed off to Geelong to
represent Moorabool B in our Annual Lightening Premiership
competition. It certainly was an exciting day, as both the football and
netball teams came away with a win! Congratulations to all our
players, and big thanks to Miss Pritchard for coaching the girl’s netball
team.

Tomorrow we are planning to run our second breakfast club event. The breakfast club will be serving food from
8:20am until 9:00am. We are hoping that this will be as successful as the event held last term.
