Hi everyone! It’s Vicky, Lola and Hailey.

This week’s school value has been empathy and the teachers have been looking out for students showing empathetic gestures in the yard and classrooms. We should all be empathetic!

Last week on Friday, we had Sonya Kilkenny come to our assembly to present the Kindness award to Ngairo Leutier. Congratulations Ngairo, your kindness doesn’t go unnoticed!! What a very special award to get in front of your family and peers

Tomorrow we have sushi day as well as World Teacher day so in the morning, be sure to thank your teachers for all the amazing work they do, in and out of the classroom. Maybe you could even make them a card tonight? Our school would not run without them.

Halloween is on this on Saturday, be ready to wear your spookiest costumes as you creep down the streets hunting for lollies.  But remember to say thanks and show good manners!! After Halloween, we’ve also got another 4 day weekend coming up on Monday, the curriculum day, and Tuesday, the Melbourne Cup! Stay safe and have fun

Don’t forget that the Colour Run is coming up in a few weeks. If you haven’t already made an account, then hop online and do so! If you’ve already registered, then make sure to keep raising money! All of the funds will be put into making a brand new Senior Playground for the 3-6 students. We are really needy this, our current one is so ryn down!

Thanks for reading, and have a great long weekend!! 

From Vicky, Lola and Hailey

Why Attendance Matters

School is compulsory for children aged 6 to 17 in Victoria, unless an approved Department of Education and Training Victoria exemption has been granted.

Going to school every day is an important part of your child’s education. Children and young people learn new things at school every day, connect with friends and develop good habits that help them to succeed now and in later years.

Attending and participating in school regularly will help your child:

• Develop important skills and knowledge to help them learn.
• Develop social and emotional skills such as good communication, resilience and team-work.
• Establish friendships with peers which help develop self-esteem and a sense of belonging.

There is no good number of days for missing school! We can HELP, ask for help to get your child to school on time every day.

Our first day of Halloween cooking started with a VERY special visitor… Ben Carroll, Premier of Victoria! 

He popped in to see what our amazing Year 3/4 students were cooking. When he asked, “So, what are you making today?” the students proudly answered…

“EYEBALL SNOT DRINK!!!”  You can imagine the laughter!

Then came the next question: “Are you all going trick-or-treating for Halloween?”

EVERY. SINGLE. HAND. WENT. UP!

Well… when the teacher is fully into Halloween and brings the whole class along for the spooky ride, what else can you expect?

From eyeball snot drinks to pastry snakes, Jack-o’-lantern stuffed capsicums and roasted pumpkin fresh pasta bake, our kitchen was full of creativity, laughter and a little bit of delicious madness!

Spooky food, happy students and memories made at Carrum PS!

I think we can safely say… this Halloween is going to be a scream!

Enjoy the weekend and remember to brush those fangs well!!

Students of all ages are tutored in private one-to-one lessons. Children are taught in a positive and nurturing environment. The tuition sessions are designed according to the student’s individual needs, which are regularly evaluated and form part of ongoing assessment. I tailor to the needs of each student, which is delivered in a positive learning environment designed to foster self-esteem and motivate students to achieve their full potential.  Students with special needs are also catered for.

The core work covers the following:

READING: To develop Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency and Expanded Vocabulary.

WRITING: Examines the different genres and includes writing organisations for each genre, essay writing, spelling, punctuation, grammar and editing skills.

MATHEMATICS: Covers Numeracy & Algebra, Measurement & Geometry and Statistics & Probability

EXAM PREPARATIONS: These helps identify the student’s progress and help develop skills for NAPLAN, ICAS, scholarship and entrance exams
