Walk to School Initiative

Walk Safely to Woodville.

After the success of this year’s ‘National Walk Safely to School’ day Woodville has introduced a ‘Walk Safely to Woodville’ day where we invite our school community to walk together to school each Friday. On this day, staff will meet students at 3 drop off areas and walk together.

This week, there will be staff members meeting students at Aqua Pulse, the Heaths Road skate park and at the Hoppers Crossing shops (near Paul’s Bakery) where they will walk together with students and families. Teachers will leave these three meeting points at 8:30am.

I have set up a survey to find out about people's interest in setting up a pick up / drop off area at school. Please click on the link below and complete this short survey. Your input is valuable and we appreciate the time taken to do this.

3/4 Team News

Malmsbury Camp

On Wednesday 23rd August, 40 very excited students from the Grade 3/4s arrived at

Werribee Station before departing to Malmsbury Camp. After two trains and a bus,

we all arrived at Malmsbury. Students experienced activities that developed their

resilience, ability to initiate cooperation and teamwork. They all enjoyed a range of

different foods cooked by the amazing staff at DOXA camp Malmsbury. It was a

tiring but fun and memorable camp for all. I’m sure the children all slept well when

they returned on the Friday afternoon.
