It's week 3 and we have been hard at work. Japanese classes started on the first day of school while Art started in week 2. The students have been learning to understand and say simple phrases in Japanese. In Art the students have been working on patterns and colour.

The School Council has been liaising with the Department of Education and the Victorian School Building Authority over a long period of time to have the school’s roof replaced. SPACES Design, contracted by the VSBA, have been designated as the project managers for this significant undertaking.  

Selected senior students travelled to the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne today to conduct the school’s annual service on behalf of the 2nd 8th Battalion Association. The Battalion was formed in Ballarat during World War 2 with many of its men being previous students of our school.  

The students have been busy with their own construction in the playground. Using timber to make a mould, mud brick manufacturing has been in full-swing. Here is the finished wall.

What an outstanding event! This year’s Halloween Fair was hugely successful with an estimated crowd of 900 people visiting our school to enjoy the trick or treating, dressing up, stalls, sports, food, drinks, community services, and carnival attractions that were on offer.
