Principals Message Term 2 Week 5
Hi Carrum Families,
This week our teachers and students celebrated Education Week. We had a big celebration day on Wednesday as our student leaders and specialist teachers ran Expo Day. The students had a great day completing activities that showcased the great learning programs we have In Mandarin, STEAM, Art and PE. It was great to see the way our older students supported the younger students to participate in the activities in their multiage groups. Thank you to our amazing specialist teachers for organising a great day for the students.
Well done to all the students who competed at the District Cross Country last Friday. They all did their best and represented the school very well. We are excited to share that we have 11 students from Grade 3-6 competing at the Division Cross Country next Wednesday 27th May, at Cornish College. This is a great achievement, and they all should be proud. We wish the students all the best for Wednesday and Ms Ami will be there to support them during the event.
The Prep transition sessions we have held during term 1 and 2 have been going well. We have had great participation in our school tours and information sessions. It has been so fantastic to meet new families and see lots of siblings who will be coming to school next year. In a change to the enrolment process this year enrolments need to be entered via the Departments Student Insight Platform. Information relating to the new enrolment process is on our website at- https://www.carrumps.vic.edu.au/page/3/Enrolment. Thank you to the families that have already completed this process if you need any assistance with completing the enrolment process, please contact the office.
As part of our transition program, it was lovely to have the students from PB visit Carrum Family and Day Care Centre to participate in a session last week. Later in the term we have more visits planned and we will also be visiting Hope Early Learning Centre. These visits are a great way for our school to continue to connect with our local kinder and childcare centres. Our students love visiting the centres and participating in different developmental play activities. Later in the term we will also be offering some Step into Prep sessions for families to book into that will support with their transition to primary school. More information about these sessions shared over the coming days.
Looking ahead to next week, on Monday our Grade 3/4 and 5/6 students will be participating in a Think U Know session that will focus on being safe online. This session will be run by Moorabbin Police Proactive Policing Unit are a follow up to the parent session run earlier in the year by the Federal Police. The topics discussed in the presentations are linked to the relevant year level within the current Australian Curriculum. More information about this session has been shared on Compass this week. Please contact Mrs McGregor at the school if you have any questions about these sessions.
Finally, please remember that we have a Curriculum Day on Tuesday 9th June. This is the day after the King’s Birthday Public Holiday and will be a moderation day for staff as they complete Semester 1 reports. TeamKids will be running a Curriculum Day program for families that may need to access this service.
Thank you for your ongoing support and I hope you have a great end of the week and weekend.
Kind regards,
Clem Langford

Team Kids Pupil Free day June 9th
Book Week Parade
Wizards, Witches, Where's Wally, Dog Man, Crayons, Lego, Mario, Princesses and Sports stars and so much more.. there was so much to be seen at our whole school parade. Please enjoy the photos below.
As well as the parade the classes enjoyed books and activities read by our year 5/6 students.
The Library has transformed into magic with the theme of this year....Book an Adventure, where book week has turned 80! The feature artist for the year, Jess McGeachin, has brilliantly captured this adventurous spirit in his artwork, which features a whimsical map filled with imaginary characters. Jess’ illustration invites young readers to embark on fantastical journeys, inspiring them to travel through the worlds that books open up. As an award-winning Australian picture book illustrator, Jess’ work encourages children to imagine, explore, and create their own adventures. If you haven't had a look at our Library please do so.
The students also enjoyed a Scavengure Hunt around the school and have entered their responses, who knows there could be a PRIZE.
Thanks to Mrs Smith and Miss Remoundos for your hard work in setting up the libary with the help of some students, Eden, Taylor, Ayla, Evie S, Maisha and Lulu. We think it looks magnificent!
