17.01.2022 Hello Families and Community Members, As per Daniel Andrew's announcement today, students will return to remote learning, beginning Wednesday. I am waiting for further information which I will communicate to you via Facebook, and uEducateUs. Monday August 3rd will be a normal school day.... Tuesday August 4th will be a Pupil Free Day for teachers to prepare. Wednesday August 5th students will return to Remote and Flexible Learning. There will be more details released by the Department of Education over the next 24 hours, as soon as I have it I will let you know. There will be some students who are eligible to attend school for a supervision program, these details will be released, hopefully tomorrow. I am confident that Tungamah Primary will be able to provide an effective Remote and Flexible learning program for students. This may take a bit longer than Wednesday, we will do our very best. Please try to stay positive, calm and remind your children that everything will be alright, we are doing this to make sure that everything is fixed up as quickly as possible so that we can return to a normal school life. Many thanks, in advance, for your support and understanding, Gemma Whinray Principal

08.01.2022 FOOTY COLOURS DAY!!! At 3:19 this afternoon, one of our Grade 3s suggested the kids wear footy colours tomorrow (Thursday) as there is no school Friday in lieu of the usual Grand Final Public Holiday in September. Sooooo, IF your child wishes to wear footy colours tomorrow, feel free to allow them to do so. There is no pressure or donation required, just a good suggestion from a future student leader, at the very last minute of school! Please remember to make sure they are sunsafe, so if wearing a sleeveless footy jumper, put a t-shirt underneath.

08.01.2022 Check out this oncursion' opportunity (online excursion!) Watch the Penguin Parade from the warmth of your home! And the best news is, it's every night from 6pm!!!

08.01.2022 Our Grade 5 and 6 leaders have listened to some amazing speakers today. We waited (a really, really) long time to have a photo with Jimmy Rees from Giggle and Hoot, who kept us entertained, and encouraged the students to follow their dreams.

08.01.2022 Wow, what an amazing asset for the children and families of our area. Well done, and thank-you, to all those involved. https://m.facebook.com/groups/132060290799523

07.01.2022 Support our local footy team! It's been a rough year for footy and netball clubs this year, so take 20 seconds to vote for ours having the best footy jumper in country Victoria. Who knows, the footballers may repay the favor next year by running a skills day with us!

07.01.2022 Here is your chance to feedback to Victoria Police your experiences and concerns about policing in the Moira Shire. https://www.facebook.com/562312660458248/posts/3267116603311160/

02.01.2022 "Play is the highest form of research" Albert Einstein Overnight last night, there was an issue with one of the sprinkler solenoids. It created some large puddles in the playground, and the area that is a very rudimentary (and temporary!) sandpit. This created the most amazing play opportunities, and the language and experimentation was amazing to observe. PS Neil has been in and fixed up the issue this afternoon!
