PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

The opening night of the Year 6 production went off with a big ‘BANG, BANG’, last night. Once again our children didn’t disappoint and put on a show full of exceptional singing, dancing and acting. Last night was further proof to me that Oakleigh South provides opportunities for everyone, from the academics to sport, performing arts and more.

Our productions are a credit to everyone involved, the children, teachers and parents who all helped to make ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Jr’ an incredible show. These productions take hours and hours of rehearsals not to mention the time put into costumes, sets and lighting. A big thank you to John Rice for the unbelievable car and to everyone who helped from start to finish.

Last Thursday the Preps and Year 1 classes celebrated the many wonderful cultures of our school during their Multicultural Day. The children and teachers dressed in their national dress and proudly paraded in the hall showing off an array of colours. Thank you to the mums, dads and grandparents who provided an amazing selection of food for the children to share. Everyone had a fantastic day.

Just a reminder there will be a full assembly on Friday at 1.40pm before the children will be dismissed at 2.30pm.

It’s hard to believe that we have reached the end of term 3. Remember to keep on reading and do your Mathletics and Reading Eggs whenever you can. Have a restful break whether you are at home or away on holidays.

SUPERVISION AND PARKING

Parking

A reminder to parents and carers are NOT to use the Staff Car Park, or the disabled parks, regardless of the time of day. It is NOT to be used as a quick drop off or collection point.

This includes after Choir on a Wednesday

Please make sure you do your civic duty to follow the road laws and rules. This includes parking correctly in the signed areas, and completing 3 point turns in the middle in the intersection!

We also urge parents to please remember to be patient and polite when using the Oval Carpark, and be good role models for all the children witnessing their behaviour. With over 800 families, drop off and collection times will be busy and you will need to plan your time accordingly.
