Werribee Primary School is conducting a Swimming Program for students in Years 4/5/6. The program will commence in Term 4, Monday 24th November and conclude on Friday 5th December. Over two weeks students will participate in a swimming lesson at Werribee Outdoor pool. Students will be walking to and from the pool. 

Students will attend 10 x 45 minute lessons. Each lesson will be with qualified swimming and water safety instructors.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to take late enrolments as student numbers for swimming groups need to be finalised with the swimming center. Parent permission needs to be completed by Friday the 31st October at the latest.

Swimming lesson times for each class will be made available once the due date for permission has passed.

Cost for this event $48.

Requirements:
Hat, bathers (to be worn under school uniform), towel, underwear, thongs, goggles (optional) - all clearly labelled and in a bag that can be carried to and from the pool.

Every Victorian child should have access to the world of learning opportunities that exist beyond the classroom. The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund helps ensure that no student will miss out on the opportunity to join their classmates for important, educational and fun activities. 

It is part of making Victoria the Education State and the Government’s commitment to breaking the link between a student’s financial circumstances and their outcomes.

School camps provide children with inspiring experiences in the great outdoors. Excursions encourage a deeper understanding of how the world works while sports teach teamwork, discipline and leadership. All are a part of a healthy curriculum.

CSEF is provided by the Victorian Government to assist eligible families to cover the costs of school excursions, camps and sporting activities.

If you hold a valid means-tested concession card or  support an out of home care student you may be eligible for CSEF. A special consideration category also exists for asylum seeker and refugee families. The allowance is paid directly to the school to use towards expenses relating to camps, excursions or sporting activities for the benefit of your child.

HOW TO APPLY

New applicants should contact the school office to obtain a CSEF application form or download from the website below.

 
If you applied for CSEF at your child's school last year, you do not need to complete an application form this year unless there has been a change in your family circumstances.

You only need to complete an application form if any of the following changes have occurred:

• new student enrolments: your child has started or changed schools this year.
• changed family circumstances: such as a change of custody, change of name, concession card number, or new siblings commencing this year.

Check with the school office if you are unsure.

Mental Health is on everyone’s lips. There are countless news articles about mental health every year – in fact over the course of a typical day, there are more articles published about mental health than there are about other hot topics like AI, the risk of a recession, and even Taylor Swift!

Well you may have noticed it is a bit barer in the front of the school.  Our weaving yarn bombing has been taken down.  I will now separate the circle weavings and return them to their makers.  It was a lot of fun doing this project and there are ideas for more ‘fence art’ for later in the year.

The Stitch Don’t Ditch competition is on at the moment.  It is about turning pre-loved clothing into fashion.  There is a primary school section which is turning pre-loved clothing into toys.  We would like to start the ball rolling for next year so have a request for any pre-loved clothing that cannot be reused.  So this is the clothing with holes, etc.  No underwear, of course and only fabrics that can be easily sewn so not too thick.  Please drop this off outside the art room (for students) or at the office (parents).  Thanking you in anticipation.
