Excerpt from Final Message for 2019

Excerpt from our School Newsletter 13th June

Despite yesterday’s gloomy wet weather, there was high excitement in the air as we readied ourselves for our very special visitor. Our Premier Mr Dan Andrews, accompanied by our old friend, local MP Nick Staikos, was most impressed by our lovely school and was most appreciative of the warm   welcome he received at our special assembly in his honour.

He spoke of how wonderful our whole school acknowledgement to country was and how impressively we all sang both verses of our national anthem. After that we were all treated to a fantastic performance from our extension orchestra led by our wonderful Felicite.

Mr Andrews then spoke of how exciting it will be when our new performing arts centre and classroom building begins to take shape, noting that this was Stage 1 of a 2 stage process to modernise our school facilities.

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.
