Lions Club Scholarships: Each year the Tongala Lions Club provide two sponsorship opportunities for students in years 3 to 6. The students need to write a letter outlining how they have supported their community (school community and/or wider community) and how they demonstrate the school’s values. We are

pleased to announce that this year’s winners were Meg Brennan and Kare Doolan. They both received a $100 voucher to spend at Big W. Well done Meg and Kare. We are hoping that next year there will be more applications put in for this wonderful scholarship opportunity.

Term 4 Hats: Just a reminder that in line with our Sun Smart Policy students need to wear their hats during term 4. It may be a good time to give the hats a wash and make sure they are in good order before the start of term. Hats are sold through the office for $12.50 if a new one is required.

Wear Yellow for Daffodil Day: Students looked very bright in their yellow gear on Wednesday 9th September. As the teachers of Foundation to Year 3 took time out to plan for term 4 the students were involved in a variety of ‘yellow’ activities. Mrs Haw, Mrs Davis and I took the classes and shared in the fun with the students. For some of the day the students worked in groups of four in multi-aged groups.

New sandpit is a great hit: Again we need to say a big thank you to Geoff and Murray for their work on building our new sandpit. It has been an enormous success! As you can see everything from sand castles to sand sculptures.

Thank you so much Geoff and Murray the kids love your work.

Student Led Interviews: Just a reminder that Student Led interviews are next Tuesday 15th. You should receive your time very soon. If the time doesn’t suit you would you ring the office so an alternative time can be made. If no preference was returned an available time has been given.

Big Thank you: The year 6 Melbourne camp was again a great success. Thank you Mr Alley and Mrs Harvie for giving up your valuable family time to make this camp happen. Students at Tongala Primary School are very fortunate to be able to have opportunities such as these camps. In November our year 4 and 5 students will be heading to Malmsbury for their camp.

Grade 6 Melbourne Camp

Day 1. We arrived in Melbourne at around 10:30am and met Toongabbie Primary School at Doxa City Camp for an Induction.

We then had lunch and a play in the park at Flagstaff gardens.

After our lunch break at Flagstaff gardens we walked across to Parliament House, we had a tour and got told heaps of

information.

When we had finished at Parliament House we went to see ‘the big issue’ they explained the issue with homelessness and

people living with disadvantages around Melbourne.

We then went for a laneway street art tour, we saw all the different types of graffiti.

We had dinner at the Post Deng Café, at Chinatown. We then went on the Melbourne Star, it was amazing to see Melbourne like

this.

Day 2.

We went to the Melbourne Museum, we got to look around, we got told the story of Melbourne then we did the ‘our shared

story’ we were there until lunch.

For lunch we went to the Museum Gardens, we had subway.

After lunch we went to the immigration museum, it was really fun.

After the museums we walked to Gazi Greek Restaurant for dinner.

When we finished dinner we caught a tram out to Crown Casino for Galactic Circus.

We did laser tag and bowling

Day 3.

On Wednesday we went to the MCG, we had a really interesting tour, then we went downstairs into the National Sports Museum

and learnt about all people famous for their sporting career. When we finished we went to the gaming part, we tried all the

different interactives. It was a good experience.

After lunch we went to the old Melbourne gaol, we had a tour then we got to walk around and look for ourselves.

We had dinner at the Afghan Valley restaurant, it was really yum!

That night we stayed back at Doxa, we watched 10 Things I Hate About You.

Day 4.

We went to ACMI, Australian Centre for the Moving Image, we learnt about all the different types of movies and how

they’re made. After ACMI we went to the Shrine Of Remembrance, it was long but interesting.

After lunch we walked to MSAC, Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre. We started off in the wave pool, playing some

keepings off, then we moved to the inflatable, we also had a go on the diving boards, after the diving boards we went on

the big water slide.

We had dinner at Grill’d Hamburger Restaurant in Melbourne Central.

After dinner we went to the Medibank icehouse for ice-skating, everyone had a go and it was a really fun night!

Day 5.

This was our last day. We all got packed up in the morning then went to the Queen Victoria Market. We all got to shop there

for an hour. After that we went back to doxa and said our thankyou and goodbyes. We walked down to Southern Cross

Station and waited for the bus. We got on the bus and had a long bus ride home!

Thankyou Mr Alley and Mrs Harvie for organising this amazing camp and leaving your families to come away for a week with us.

It was a great experience and we will never forget it. By April and Hollie.
