Year 5 Market Day

As part of the Year 5 Economics inquiry unit for Term 2, students have developed a business and will be selling their products to the Westgrove community on Friday, 23^rd of June in the Gym. All classes will have an opportunity to visit the businesses and purchase products that the students have designed and created themselves. All money raised will go towards a school-based community project or charity.

We would like to encourage all Westgrove families to support our Year 5 students and their amazing work throughout Term 2, by sending a few spare dollars with their child to shop with on the day.

We appreciate your support,

The Year 5 Students and Teachers.

ATTACK OF THE PLASTIC TIME MONSTERS

ATTACK OF THE PLASTIC TIME MONSTERS

This incursion has been organised for our Years 5 & 6 students on Monday 26^th June.

It is a 45 minute show which has a focus on encouraging sustainability including keeping our oceans healthy and clean through a responsible approach to litter management.

It is a serious topic presented in an entertaining and humorous manner.

AttacK of the plastic time monsters is presented to us by the Werribee River Association and is presented free for our Year 5/6 students.

This is very timely as teachers have been  working with our students recently to encourage them to be more considerate towards their environment including disposing of their litter more responsibly at school and the wider community.

PARENTS/CARERS/STUDENT/TEACHER COLLABORATIONS

Mid-year Collaborations will be taking place on Thursday 20^th July.  This is a pupil free day so that teachers are available to conduct collaborations

Compass will be available for families to book interview times from Tuesday 27^th June to Tuesday 18^th July.  Accessing compass to book your interview times is
