Swimming Program Our school swimming program finished yesterday and all our students who swam, thoroughly enjoyed their lessons in the pool. Students were grouped according to their swimming ability and the program ran smoothly. Thank you all our students for trying their best and having fun! Thank you also to Miss Carneli for all her hard work organising the program.
Sun Hats Just a reminder that throughout Term 4 it is school uniform policy for every student to wear a Sun Smart hat. They can either be legionnaire style, bucket or brimmed hats in the school colour of navy blue, with or without logo.) No baseball style hats are permitted before, during or after school hours. Students have the school holidays to find, dust off their hats, and to wear them consistently throughout term 4 when involved in outdoor activities.

Coastal Ambassadors’ Leadership Program On Wednesday, 6th September our 4 School Leaders (Kai P, Chantelle S, Aiden N and
Caitlin A) ventured to Phillip Island to present a workshop on ‘Reducing Rubbish at Our School’ as part of the Coastal Ambassadors’ Leadership Program.
Our students were the first to present and they did a mighty job. They created an entertaining and informative i-movie that introduced our environmental action plan and
then they led a hands-on session showing their audience how to make a ‘wheelie bin monster’ using a range of recycled materials. The session was really well received by
the audience and set the tone for a fantastic day! I have been so impressed with the way each of our leaders has taken on responsibility
for our environmental action plan from start to finish. They have always been enthusiastic, highly motivated and reliable in generating ideas and following through
with action. They have given up a lot of their own time over terms 1, 2 & 3 to ensure that the project was completed successfully. We have received a lot of positive
comments from staff about how the amount of rubbish in the yard has been significantly reduced, which has been really encouraging. It is now up to everyone at Cardinia Primary School to do their bit and make sure that we bin our rubbish before
going outside, and in so doing, protect the environment of the many creatures that call our school home.
Well done to Kai, Chantelle, Aiden and Caitlin on representing Cardinia Primary School so magnificently, you should be very proud of your efforts!

areas of the school. Once these arrangements have been finalised all students will be notified.
A list of items to bring along will be published in future newsletters for your information but

prior to this event taking place.
