23.01.2022 Such a great morning for our colour run..made even better by having parents/families able to attend! Mr Clark also learned a valuable lesson about his clothing choices on colour run days!

23.01.2022 Every year at 11 am on 11 Novemberthe eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh monthwe pause to remember those men and women who have died or suffered in all wars, conflicts and peace operations. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. As the world welcomed peace, thousands returned home to much fanfare, and their loved ones. Thousands more never made the journey home. While we are unable to mark this year’s Remembrance Day by gathe...ring together, this year at Boisdale, all classes will view a Remembrance Day Service that will be streamed online by the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne. Please see below for the event information if families would also like to view it from home.

15.01.2022 --DRINK BOTTLES-- Students and families are reminded to bring drink bottles to school everyday. Current coronavirus restrictions means that the drinking taps at school aren't allowed to be used and students should bring their own drink bottles instead. As the weather warms up it is extremely important that students remember to bring their drink bottles. At recess and lunchtimes drink bottles can be left outside the classroom door so that students can access their drink bottl...es during these break times. Thank you for your support with this. Dan Clark -Principal

13.01.2022 --Grade 3-6 Swimming Carnival-- The swimming carnival for our Grade 3-6 students previously scheduled to take place at the Stratford Outdoor Pool on Friday the 19th of February is permitted to go ahead. However, as a result of the community public gathering limit restrictions, spectators will not be permitted to attend. Students, school staff and venue staff will only be granted access to the venue. ... Previously engaged parent volunteers will be counted as ‘school staff’ for the purpose of this event. We will be contacting those parent volunteers directly today to confirm arrangements with them. Unfortunately no other parents or visitors will be granted access to the pool. We thank you for your understanding and support in helping us adhere to these community based restrictions. I’m sure we are all thankful that we can still provide this wonderful experience to our students, even without parents in attendance. Further information regarding updated COVIDSafe practices will be included in today's newsletter. --Dan Clark, Principal

10.01.2022 --COVIDSafe Practices-- We are expecting to hear from the Department of Education within the next day in regards to what COVIDSafe practices and measures may be re-introduced with the return of on-site schooling. As these updates will likely not filter through before the start of the school day tomorrow, we are informing families that they are welcome on-site and in classrooms but they must wear a mask at all times, follow room density limits and maintain 1.5m distance from o...thers. We thank you for your co-operation and support with these measures. We are hopeful to provide further updates in tomorrow's newsletter. Regards Dan Clark, Principal

Remote learning will take place on Tuesday 16th and Wednesday 17th of February. The use of technology will be kept to a minimum on these days. ... Families are pleased asked to email [email protected] if their children cannot learn from home on Tuesday 16th and Wednesday 17th. This is necessary so that we can confirm staffing arrangements for these days. All buses will be operating on these days. Families will be sent emails by teachers on Monday, outlining the learning tasks that are to be completed at home on Tuesday and Wednesday. --Dan Clark, Principal

02.01.2022 --SCHOOL COUNCIL NOMINATIONS-- We are still in search of new parents to take up positions on school council. Serving on school council is a fantastic way to have your say and to learn more about the operations of the school from both a teaching and learning and organisational perspective. In 2021, much of our work will revolve around building and playground/yard upgrades. So if you are interested in having a lasting impact on the school and facilities, this year is a great y...ear to join school council. We currently have three parent member vacancies. Parents can nominate themselves or you can nominate a fellow parent to be considered for one of these school council positions. All nomination forms need to be received at the office by 4pm tomorrow.
