Stay safe, Stay well Cheryl Van Deursen Principal

Whilst our students visited their 2021 classes meeting their teachers and classmates and the Kinder students

visited for their final transition session, many of our grade 6 students joined students from other primary schools

in the Cranbourne area to attended their destination secondary schools.

It has been a busy week for our grade 6 students. Tuesday was statewide Transition Day for our grade 6 students

and yesterday they celebrated their time at primary school with a Graduation Day. A ceremony was held

yesterday morning where students were presented with certificates, mugs, signature bears/balls, and a

commemorative book. Students enjoyed doing some creative activities and sharing a special lunch together.

Special awards were presented at the ceremony.

Congratulations to the following students:

Outstanding academic achievement—Mudabir, Vidhau

Academic improvement—Amelie Outstanding role model—Ramin Remote learning—Jarryn, Isaac

Demonstrating school values of PRIDE—Behroz, Dylan, Rudenise, Kyana, Shenelly

Demonstrating resilience—Atifa, Nasrin, Omid, Nathan, Sara, Charlee

I am both delighted and excited to share the following announcement. We have been informed this week that a

recent grant application, submitted by Mrs Fernand for a minor capital works project, has been successful and has

secured $500,000.00 towards upgrading the interior of our gymnasium. This work will be undertaken in early

2021. The upgrade includes the installation of change areas and toilets inside the building.

Special thanks to Mrs Fernand.

Thank you to all those families that have been hunting at home for school resources to return

before the end of the year.

We greatly appreciate your efforts to locate school items to

return.

This helps us with our annual stocktake. We complete a

stocktake/audit of the resources at school, to identify lost or

damaged items, and to identify any resources that need to

be purchased for the following year.

Your work in locating long lost items also helps us to save money – if

you can find a book then we do not have to replace it!

Making sure that your child returns books or items that they have

borrowed helps them to develop responsibility – knowing that if they

borrow something it is up to them to look after it and return it!

If you still have school items at home, please return them by Friday

11th December.

Has your child lost or misplaced a Take Home book or library book? Please organise to pay the

Lost Fee of $5.00 as soon as possible. The fee does not cover the complete cost of replacing

the book, but it does help towards replacing lost or damaged items.

SCHOOL BANKING

From Term 1, 2021 the Victorian Government has ceased school banking programs in Victorian government schools. As a result, the CommBank School Banking program will no longer operate at our school after the end of this term. If you are unsure of other methods of depositing to your child’s account, please feel free to contact the Bank’s general enquiries hotline on 13 2221 or alternatively visit your local CommBank branch.

If your child is eligible to receive a reward, please notify our School Banking Co-ordinator via the school email prior to the 11th December 2020 (cranbourne.ps@education.vic.gov.au)

We would like to thank you for your participation and support throughout the School Banking program
