Term 2 - Week 10 – 15th June 2016 Mortlake College Newsletter 10 Hood Ave Mortlake, Vic, 3272 Ph: 03 5599 2204 Fax: 03 5599 2503 Email: [email protected]Website: www.mortlakep12.vic.edu.au SMS Mobile: 0427 841 239 (Text Only) Principal’s Report - School Review Last week a request was made inving parents and guardians to respond to the three quesons listed below as part of our year of review prior to a new Strategic Plan being wrien. An email was sent to all families last Thursday and I would like to thank those who responded but encourage those who haven’t done so to do so in the coming week if possible. We would really value your feedback be- cause, as I menoned last week, it will certainly help shape the future direcon of the school. If you would prefer to use pen and paper please do so and return your responses to the school office. What is done well at Mortlake College? What could be done beer? What would you like to see in five years’ me? School producon “Les Miserables.” The school producon of ‘Les Miz’ is off to a great start. The feedback from the evening performance last Friday and also the manees has been fantasc and it’s great that a complex show has come to- gether so brilliantly. Well done to everyone involved and especially those members of the cast who have managed to perform whilst having to deal with injuries and illnesses! I’m sure that the final per- formances on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings will be a fing celebraon of all the hard work that has been undertaken by students, parents and staff. Legacy Public Speaking compleon Congratulaons to Ned Quail who competed in the Legacy junior public speaking compeon that was held in Warrnambool last week. Ned was runner- up in the compeon which aracts com- petors from across the region. This was a great effort as this is a really challenging compeon for not only do competors have to present a clearly arculated prepared speech they also have to pre- sent an impromptu speech which they are given just five minutes to prepare. The topic for the impromptu was ‘What have we learnt from history?’ and Ned did very well in this secon. Well done Ned!

SpinachMuf�inRecipe
Ingredients to make 15 muffins:
3/4 cup of pureed spinach
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1/4 cup of oil
1/2 cup of applesauce
2 cups of flour
3/4 cup of sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and spray a
muffin �n with cooking spray. This muffin reci-
pe will make 15 yummy spinach muffins.
You will want to start with pureed spinach. Pu-
ree ahead of �me and then freeze it in an ice cube tray. (or bought cooked spinach will work as
well)
Once you have your pureed spinach, use 3/4 cups of it in a blender and add the vanilla, eggs,
oil and applesauce. Basically, throw all your wet ingredients into the blender and blend un�l
mixed together.
In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients – flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and
salt
Mix the wet and dry ingredients un�l a ba�er forms and pour into muffin �ns so each muffin is
2/3 full. Bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees or un�l a toothpick inserted into the center comes
out clean
When I first made these muffins I was worried about how they would taste. Would they have a
spinach flavor? Would my kids eat them or be freaked out by the green color? All my worries
were erased when I tasted them. They are moist and delicious and you can’t taste the spinach
at all. Veggie averse kids loved them and request them all the �me
These are so good fresh out of the oven with a li�le bu�er. They also freeze well. The next
�me your child turns up their nose at the veggies you offer, try this easy spinach muffin recipe
Breakfast at Mortlake College
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Mortlake College needs your help!
Next term our regular Tuesday breakfast program will con�nue but will
run from the Wellbeing Centre whilst the Home Eco room is being reno-
vated. We will be introducing an updated School Breakfast Program
which will run every morning before school. This modified breakfast
program will cater for a smaller number of students than our current Tuesday breakfast and will con-
�nue to be offered in the Wellbeing Centre.
Our school is par�cipa�ng in the School Breakfast Clubs Program. The Victorian Government has part-
nered with Foodbank Victoria to help ensure that all kids have a healthy and nutri�ous start to the
day. Foodbank Victoria will now be delivering regular free breakfast food to support our exis�ng
school breakfast club.
Our school breakfast club aims to ensure students start the day with a healthy meal, to help students
concentrate and make the most out of their school day.
The school is seeking parents to volunteer to help with the program each morning by assis�ng with
breakfast set up, serving of food, pack up and engaging with the students.
If you are available to help out any par�cular mornings please contact Kerry Boyden.
For students wan�ng to have breakfast, this is a free program, not requiring prior booking or arrange-
ments. Students and parents need to allow enough �me to be able to access the program before the
start of the school day. We look forward to happy healthy mornings con�nuing in term 3.

Health and wellbeing Needs Survey Results
Recently the school community undertook a survey wri�en by Laura from Terang and Mortlake
Health Service about what were the school community’s areas of health concerns. Parents, teachers
and students in years 5-12 filled out the survey. The results varied, and there were lots of posi�ve
comments. Overall there seemed to be a trend to healthy ea�ng and mental health as topics of con-
cern. Some of the sugges�ons have already been followed up and acted upon. The health and well-
being commi�ee will use this informa�on to help guide future strategies to support the students and
families of Mortlake College.
