Car Park The car park project will take approximately 8 weeks
until completion. Thank you to everyone for your patience. The
Grieve Street car park is now not accessible as it is being used by
the contractor to move equipment in and out.
A Kiss and Drop zone has been created in Carter Street. You are
able to drive in, parallel to the curb, to drop off your
child/children. Please do not leave your car as this is meant to be
a quick drop off spot.
The staff car park is also available for parent use. Please park
in a designated car parks. For safety reasons, please do not
reverse out of the staff car park.
Currently our staff are working on students reports. We utilise
a range of information and data to make decisions on these reports,
including the portfolio tasks students have been completing. A
great deal of time and effort goes into putting these documents
together to inform parents of the great acheivements of our
students, as well as future learning. Reports will be going home on
Friday 19
th June with Parent Teacher Interviews held on Tuesday 23
rd June. (A
separate notice about this will be distributed in the coming
weeks). Typically each student will bring home a copy of their
report on the 19
th, together with their portfolio. If there are any families who
would like an additional copy of the
report to be distributed to either parent, please inform the
office so that arrangements can be made. In these circumstances, we
send home one copy with the student, and another would be either
sent in the mail or picked up from the office by parents.

Collection Notice
This year, all schools in Australia, including Independent and
Catholic schools, will participate in the Nationally Consistent
Collection of Data on School Students with Disability.
The Data Collection is an annual count of the number of students
with disability receiving educational adjustments to support their
participation in education on the same basis as students without
disability.
All education agencies are now required under the Australian
Education Regulation 2013 to provide information on a students
level of education, disability and level of adjustment to the
Australian Government Department of Education and Training. Data
will continue to be de-identified prior to its transfer to the
Australian Government Department of Education and Training. The
collection of this information from states and territories will
inform future policy and program planning in relation to students
with disability.
The Data Collection will take place during Terms 2 and 3. Please
be assured that no personal or identifying information about any
student will be included; this is statistical information only. For
more information, please visit the DET website at:
http://www.education.vic.gov.au/school/parents/needs/Pages/nccd.aspx

Aerobics
Grade Prep: Wow! We have had a busy week in the prep area. We
enjoyed going on our first excursion to Maroondah Dam. We loved
exploring and talking about things in the
environment. In Integrated Studies we have continued to explore
movement and created our own finger puppets.
Grade 1/2: What a busy week we had! We had a great day
navigating our way around Maroondah Dam on Tuesday. Our visit to
Chesterfield farm on Friday was fantastic. We
got to feed all the animals and go on a tractor ride. This week
we are looking forward to making yummy vegetable soup. In Maths we
will be focusing on weight and
subtraction.
Grade 3/4: In CAF we learnt about voracious reading. In writing
we continued to follow the writing process and we wrote some jokes
and limericks. In Maths we finished
looking at division and looked at volume, capacity, mass and
weight.
Grade 5/6: We enjoyed our week learning about word choice and
the 6 traits of writing. We investigated a crime scene in our grade
and developed a writing piece to explain
our theories. We finished our time Maths groups and were able to
show our awesome Maths skills by completing our semester Maths
review.
Principal: It was definitely an excursion week last week Prep-2
Photo Trail, Yr 5/6 Aussie Sports, Yr 1/2 Chesterfield Farm as well
as Bens Shed. Launching Place Primary students
experience a broad range of educational opportunities which help
develop them in total. A big thanks to our amazing parent helpers
that support these events.

Missing
A black case containing 15 games for a DS;

Missing Toy
A student in grade 3/4M had on display some special things from
home for his VIP week. One of these was a special toy called Bop.
Please see picture. Last week was a busy week in the classrooms
with Grandparents and Special Friends Day and also Open Night.
There were a lot of people that came through our classroom. If you
have seen this toy (or mistaken it for your own toy), please bring
Bop back to school. I know this student will greatly appreciate
it!
Clothing
With the weather starting to cool down, we are needing to keep
warm. If your child/ren are wearing jumpers or jackets please put
their name visible on the inside. If they get lost they can be
returned. Please check your child/rens jumpers, etc, just in case
they may have picked someone elses up by mistake. If that has
happened could you please return them to the school office so they
can find their way back to the rightful owner.
Thank You for your co operation .

Grade 1/2 Chesterfield Farm Excursion
Wow, what a fantastic day the 1/2 students had on Friday
29th
May. We made our way to Chesterfield farm and had the best day
ever! We got to milk a cow, feed camels, goats and all sorts of
farm animals. We played with the baby farm animals and even got
nibbled on by the cheeky little goats. We had an awesome tractor
ride around the whole farm. Check out our fun photos
