Dear Families, 

Thank you to everyone for coming along to our Harmony Day Community Picnic last Friday night. It was a truly memorable event that I know we all loved sharing together. I am already looking forward to next year’s Harmony Day.

We held our Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Monday night, and we’re excited to welcome new members to the School Council! Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the discussions. We look forward to working together to support and enhance our school community in the year ahead.

Such valuable information on how to educate our young people to be safe online and what to do when you have concerns. Will will hold another seminar later this year or early next. 

Student Casual Dress Day - Wednesday

We’re excited that our Student Leadership Team has decided that next Wednesday will be a Casual Dress Day to raise funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital. Students are invited to swap their regular school uniform for casual clothing, all while supporting a fantastic cause!

Easter Celebrations

The end of term 1 is only one week away, which means we have our junior campus Easter bonnet parade on Friday morning (9:15am), we find out who wins the many hampers from the raffle and of course we get our delivery of hot cross buns. I hope you are all looking forward to the Easter celebrations next week.

Yours sincerely,

Stay Safe – Always Cross at the School Crossings!

When walking to and from school, please always use the school crossings and when crossing out the front of the Beveridge Community Centre always follow the instructions of the crossing supervisors.

Remember:

• Never cross the road anywhere else except at the school crossing.
• Always stop, look, and listen before you cross the street.
• Follow the crossing supervisor’s directions.

By doing these simple things, you help make sure everyone stays safe!

Cycling and Scootering to and from School

It is wonderful that we have so many students riding to and from the Ambrosia campus each day. Please ensure that your child has a full understanding of the route they are taking each day and the road safety rules.

Here are a few reminders for you to discuss with your child/ren:

• Children under the age of 12 may ride on footpaths, as can a supervising adult. 
• Bike riders are required to give way to pedestrians and to wheel their bicycles over pedestrian and children’s crossings.
• Children aged 12 years or older are required by law to ride on the road.
• Road safety authorities recommend that children under the age of 9 are supervised by an adult when riding on the road. 
• All cyclists and scooter riders MUST wear an approved bicycle helmet.
• Parents or carers are responsible for their children travelling to and from school.

Please be aware that E-Scooters are only to be ridden by riders 16+

Our student leadership teams have decided to hold an out of uniform day at both campuses on Wednesday the 2nd April. All students, and staff, are encouraged to bring a gold coin/donation and wear casual clothes, raising money for the Royal Children’s Hospital Foundation.

The Good Friday Appeal is the major public appeal for the hospital, bringing together people from across the community to raise funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital. The students have chosen to raise money to help support these efforts and encourage everyone to dig deep as all funds donated are used to support clinical excellence at the RCH.

We have had some fantastic donations so far! Vouchers from Funfields, Splash Aqua Park and Leisure Centre, Bloss Beauty, Cookies on Hillcrest to name a few and lots of chocolate eggs! Please contiue to drop off any items to the office to add into our hampers.

P&F Committee are grateful and appreciate all support in the fundraising effort.

On Friday March 28th (at the Senior campus) and Monday March 31st 2025 (at the Junior Campus), Brainstorm Productions will be presenting their student wellbeing performance ‘Being Brave’. ‘Being Brave’ is a live educational theatre performance that gives students positive strategies to cope with emotions and deal with bullying, change, loss and other challenges.

Fly is a young boy whose parents have separated. He misses his dad desperately and tries to be brave by keeping his emotions ‘bottled up’. He meets Isha, who has been forced to come to a new country. Celia is coming to terms with loss in her family. Mrs Russo wants to connect safely with her family online, Tim is being bullied and Billie needs to face her fears. By connecting with the people in his community, Fly discovers the true meaning of being brave: sharing stories, showing feelings, keeping good memories and living life. ‘Being Brave’ is part of our student wellbeing curriculum and has been developed by teachers and psychologists. This engaging live performance addresses student wellbeing issues with sensitivity and provides students with practical skills for resilience, help-seeking and positive connections.

Brainstorm Productions is one of Australia’s most experienced and respected theatre in education companies, performing to over 260,000 students every year. They offer a range of programs to help schools nurture healthy and harmonious environments and are endorsed by the eSafety Commissioner as a Trusted eSafety Provider. Learn more about Brainstorm Productions by visiting their website (brainstormproductions.edu.au), or following them on Instagram (@brainstormproductions_), Facebook (@Brainstorm.Productions).
