NEWSLETTER
Each Wednesday a school newsletter is published and handed to all families. This provides all the information you need to know about the school on a regular basis and provides an effective means of communication between home and school. Please take the time each week to read the newsletter.

LUNCHES
Healthy eating habits are strongly encouraged at school and a nutritious breakfast provides a good start to the the day. Children eat their lunches under supervision. Our school is part of the 'Kids Go For Your Life' program and as part of this grant we provide fresh fruit to our students one day per week.

INTER SCHOOL SPORT
Our school is involved at various times throughout the year in sporting competitions with local rural schools as part of the Cathedral Cluster of schools. The other schools are Alexandra Primary School, Eildon Primary School, Taggerty Primary School, Buxton Primary School and St. Mary's Catholic School. These include Athletics, Cross Country and Swimming. A variety of sports are played with the emphasis on enjoyment, participation and sportsmanship.

GRADUATION
At the end of the year a special Year 6 graduation evening is held in Marysville. This evening enables us to recognise the achievements of our graduating class. Details are decided annually in consultation with staff and School Council.

WORKING BEES
Working bees are organised by the School Council and are held as the need arises to carry out various tasks and to do general tidying up of the school grounds. We strongly encourage you to participate.

OTHER INFORMATION

BICYCLES
We strongly recommend that your child is familiar with the correct procedures and road rules when riding to and from school. Victorian law stipulates that all cyclicts must wear helmets. Bikes are not permitted to be ridden within the school grounds and should be placed in the bike rack during the day. This area is out of bounds.
