PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
This week has seen the new playground taking shape at the west end of the Learning Centre. The playground will be quite different to the ones already at the school as it will challenge the children’s climbing skills. I’m sure it will provide many happy hours of entertainment for lots of children.
Congratulations to the children that represented our school at the Bentleigh District Swimming carnival last week. Many of these children will be swimming again tomorrow in the Beachside Division Carnival. I wish them lots of fun and good luck.
Just a reminder that there will be no school on Monday as it is the Labour Day public holiday.
Have a great long weekend
Ron Cantlon
Principal

Japanese News
Welcome, Marina Sensei to Oakleigh South Primary School! She has come a long way from Nagoya City, her home town, to Australia and hopes to learn more teaching Japanese. She will be staying with us for another two weeks and you will most likely see her helping out in the Japanese room! She loves watching musicals, her favourite sport is karate and her favourite colour is blue. I hope you have a wonderful time at our school! Thank you to the Cooke family for hosting Marina during her time in Australia.
