Excursion and End of Term

Unbelievably Term 1 has come to an end. The term has flown by and the children can be very proud of their efforts. They can also be very proud of their fantastic behaviour on our excursion which proved to be a very interesting day.

USW started the day at the Vegout Community Garden in St Kilda. We were lucky enough to meet with a group of people who were preparing a BBQ for homeless people who live in the neighbouring communities. The children realised that we are indeed very fortunate to have what we all have. We also had a chance to speak to a volunteer who manages the Community Garden and discovered the benefits to the community of the garden.

From the garden we went onto the Triple R Community Radio station. The children had a great opportunity to put on the head phones and experience the feeling of being a radio broadcaster. They absolutely loved this and the broadcasting was very funny at times.

And so the Term comes to an end. I hope you all have a relaxing holiday and stay safe and I look forward to seeing you all in Term 2.

3 Way Conferences

It was wonderful to meet the parents from USW at our recent 3 Way Conferences. The children are to be congratulated for the manner in which they conducted their interviews. They were articulate and very honest about their progress both academically and socially. I look forward to helping them continue with this in the weeks to come. Thanks to the mums and dads who took part.

Congratulations to all the swimmers who took part in the District Sports. It was fantastic to hear their enthusiasm and they should be proud of the way they represented Yarrambat Primary School. Our Interschool sporting teams are also doing well, competing with great sportsmanship. We are encouraging all of our team captains to be really creative when writing their sports reports ready for presentation at our assemblies on Monday mornings.
