NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPAL
MORWELL CENTRAL INTERIM SCHOOL COUNCIL MEETING.
Our next Morwell Central Interim Council Meeting will be on Wednesday 4th May at 5:30pm at Morwell Bowling Club. If you are on the interim council and unable to attend please advise Julie or Janice.
FEAST ON EAST SURVEY
On Tuesday 3rd May from 2:30pm to 3:15pm students form Monash University will be in the school grounds asking parents to complete a quick 5 minute verbal survey about Feast on East Direct, which is a new online farmers’ market available in the Latrobe Valley. The survey is designed to find out about the buying habits and assess community interest in buying fresh produce boxes. All information collected will be confidential. If you would like to participate in the survey simply say yes when one of the Monash Stu-dents approach you tomorrow.
NAPLAN
The National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) 2016 tests for Year 3 and 5 stu-dents will be on Tuesday 11th, Wednesday 12th, and Thursday 12th May. These tests assess knowledge and skills in writing, reading, language conventions (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy.
COMMERCIAL ROAD SCHOOL COUNCIL MEETING.
Our next School Council Meeting will be on Monday 9th May at 6pm. Could council members please ad-
vise Julie or Janice if they will not be attending.
UEDUCATEUS TASKS
Some of you may have noticed when using Ueducateus that your child has a TASK allocated to them. This
is not something that the students are required to complete out of school time, but simply a reporting
method teachers may use. Setting up a TASK on Ueducateus allows students to upload and reflect on
their work, and teachers to provide feedback. It will also appear in the student’s end of semester and
end of year reports as observations from the teacher. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate
to contact your child’s classroom or specialist teacher for further information.
NEW SCHOOL CONCERNS
On the 17th of May there will be a forum for parents to come along and discuss any concerns they may have about their child/children attending the new school, more information to follow.
On Thursday the 24th of March we held a P.J. Day to raise money for the Good Friday appeal. From our Gold Coin donations, we raised $187.70 for the
Royal Children’s Hospital. Thank you everyone for your support.
JUNIOR SCHOOL COUNCIL
From this Friday, May 6th, we will be selling small packets of flavoured potato chips for 50c at Lunchtime from the Multipurpose room. A
variety of flavours will be available. This is in place of icy poles.
SCHOOL PHOTOS
A reminder to parents, school photos are this Thursday. Please return envelopes to school by this day with correct money enclosed. The office does not handle the money for photos so there will be NO change available. Family envelopes are available from the office.
