From Our Principal
Hi everyone, welcome to week 8 of Term 2 of 2021. We have had a fantastic week here at school. Over the past two weeks our students have been making pom-poms.
The Dimboola Town committee approached us to be a part of brightening up the corner block opposite the Imaginarium. This block is being re-developed as a gathering area for public use. We made over 150 pom-poms from wool and also Mallee branches with glued on coloured pom-poms during our Art lessons. Several students and I were interviewed and photographed on Monday by the Journalist from the Dimboola Banner.
Just a reminder to us all that we need to be vigilant in respect to our children’s health. If for any reason you suspect that your child is not well please keep them home until symptoms have eased. There has been several cases of a bad belly bug going around other local schools and early childhood centre. Thank you for your support.
Our year 3-6 students are all involved in the Winter Lightning Premiership carnival at Nhill College. The carnival has now been rescheduled for Tuesday the 22th of June. We will be heading up by bus by 9:00am ready to start the competition by 9:45. Parents and caregivers are allowed to spectate if they wanted to come along. We are entering 2 teams this year one in Minkey-Hockey and the other for T-Ball. This is so that all our students can train as teams prior to the Lightning Premiership.
Our Athletics Carnival will be on Friday the 18th of June. At this stage parents and Caregivers are welcome to come along and support your children. This year we will be holding our carnival here at St Peters. We will be starting at 10:00am and hoping to be finished by 1:00 pm. The events will be mainly throwing and jumping as we will be holding the sprints and 400m/800m running events at DMSC (on their marked track). We hope you can come along and support your children. We won’t be needing as many helpers as in past years so you should be able to relax and spectate.
Please don’t forget that tomorrow Friday the 11th of June is a student free day for all students. Staff will be engaged in finalising assessments and writing reports. Please also remember that next Monday the 14th of June is the Queen’s Birthday Public holiday so school will be shut.
Have a safe and Blessed weekend,
Tim Reimann
