The Department has released a new website that helps parents identify their local public school online.

Capital Works Program - Performing Arts Centre

At our school council meeting on Monday night Mario Duvnjak from ProArk presented the plans for our new building to ‘Schematic Design’ stage, (see photos below). Full plans are available for viewing in my office for anyone interested. On Wednesday, Sue and I attended a PREP meeting at the VSBA where the auditing company, along with representatives from DET and VSBA signed off on this stage. We will now have 8 weeks to work through the     all-important ‘Design Development’ stage where we decide with the architects more specific design features of our new building.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

I would imagine by now that most of you will have heard the fabulous news, but just in case you haven’t, here it is…..

In next week’s State Budget, East Bentleigh PS will receive $5,000,000 to build a much needed Performing Arts Centre at our school. We were delighted when Education Minister James Merlino was able to come to our assembly on Monday to make the wonderful announcement himself.

As a staff we are thrilled with this exciting new development for our school and we owe a debt of gratitude to our local MP Nick Staikos who has been such a strong advocate for the schools in his electorate. Thank you Nick.

We now look forward to working with DET and our nominated architects on making this dream a reality.
