Dear Parents and Carers, Student Learning I am pleased with the work ethic of our students and staff. The safety and learning of our students is paramount. We take seriously the well-being of our students and staff and care for and value our students. Our aim is to provide a safe and nurturing learning environment for all. Please note that we have a learning support team which includes Executive teachers, Jane Broadfoot, Mel Blows, individual teachers as appropriate and myself. We also have a School Chaplain Keith Foley who is available Thursday and Friday, a School Counsellor, Natalia Williams who is in the school on Fridays. Parents/Carers can seek out support for their child as appropriate. Fathers’ Day/Special Person Stall Thank you to Britt MacNamara and the school leaders who so efficiently organised and ran the Fathers’ Day stall last Friday. It is always great to see the students taking time out to think of others. New Enrolment 2021 Meeting The meeting scheduled for Tuesday 15th September has been postponed.

Year 5&6 SAKG Damper Making Today in SAKG the students were able to experience some old school “Ballarat Goldfields” cuisine in the form of Johnny Cake Damper. Alice prepared the dough and sectioned it into individual portions for each child and then we carefully cooked it on the open fire pit. Afterwards we garnished with honey, treacle or jam. A big thank you to Buronga Midway IGA for donating the ingredients for the damper, Monsons Honey and Steven and Richard Munro for loaning and delivering the fire pit for us to use today.
