PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

YEAR 4 CAMP

I would like to extend my appreciation to the staff and parents

who have taken time away from their families to support our

Year 4 camping program. I would also like to thank the staff

who remained at school, taking on additional yard duties and

classes to ensure that these optional extra curricula programs

remain in our school’s curriculum.

CAPITAL WORKS PROGRAM

The Patterson Lakes Primary School Council has been

supported by the South-East Victorian Region in the

appointment of the architectural firm, Himmelzimmer to

complete our whole school master plan over the next 2

months.

An Invitation will be extended to the members of our school

community for their consultation and input once the first draft

has been completed. Following is their webpage link for your

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

STAFF WALK FOR MITO On Sunday 26

th of August, 2018 Rene Bucket, Lindy Cross, Phyllis Fernandez, Stephanie Bensted, Susan

Maxwell, Megan Sinclair and Poppy Morris, participated in ‘The Bloody Long Walk’ a 35km challenge to find a cure

mitochondrial disease (MITO)! Leaving from Cox Oval in Fairfield around 7am and ending at the St Kilda baths in

St Kilda around 1pm. Phew !!!!!!!! A couple of parents Bridie Glassford and Emma Kinsella were noticed there too

a great effort by all!!!!!

Mitochondrial disease is a chronic, genetic disorder that occurs when the mitochondria of the cell fail to produce

enough energy for cell or organ function. Mitochondrial disease is difficult to diagnose, because it affects each

individual differently. The money raised by these type of events goes towards finding a cure.
