Dear Parents, Guardians and Students,,
EVERY DAY COUNTS!.
This time last Thursday, teachers were preparing their rooms for our Open
Night. It was a cold night, but one which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone
who came along. It was wonderful to have so many members of our Overport
school community take the time to come and see the variety of presentations
throughout the school. Many, many passports were stamped, and put into the
entry box, but there could only be 3 winners, whose names were drawn at
assembly last Monday. Congratulations to Jack (Prep A), Caleb (2B) and
Archer (Prep A), who took a small prize home with them. We certainly would
like to thank Mrs Lori Frowd for her organisation of this event, and all staff for
their energy and input into making it such a successful night.
As mentioned in last week’s newsletter, our assemblies will now run on a
fortnightly basis, alternating between area and whole school assemblies. We
will start off the term in week 1 with area assemblies. Week 2, and each even
numbered week from then on, will be whole school assemblies in the hall. All
area assemblies will be held in the following locations: P-2 in the hall, Yr 3/4’s
at the Yr 5 end of the TLC and Yr 5/6’s at the Yr 6 end of the TLC. All of these
assemblies will take place from 2.30pm on Mondays.
All students and families are again reminded that according to our Uniform
Policy, shoes worn to school must be predominantly black or white. Please be
aware of this if you are replacing shoes for school during the school holidays.
Semester one reports have been prepared by our teaching staff, and are currently
being collated. These reports will be sent home to parents at the beginning of
next term; Wednesday 16th July. The opportunity to meet with teachers will take
place during the following week: Tuesday 22nd and Wednesday 23rd July. Please
make sure you visit the online booking site to secure a meeting time.
www.schoolinterviews.com.au The booking code to use is ADLBS. These
meetings are now designed to include your child, so make sure you select a time
when they can come along with you. The purpose behind this is to actively
involve all those who are involved in a students learning journey: parents,
teachers and students. A 3 way conversation centred on each child’s
achievements will provide a great opportunity for celebration and
encouragement for future learning.
This week 5 Year 10 students from Frankston High School have been with us
for a week of work experience. We thank Stephanie, Kate, Sara, Alyda and
Yerim for the wonderful job they have done assisting throughout the school,
and wish them well in the future.

With the school holidays upon us, this is a re-
minder for students to stay ‘cyber safe’. Stu-
dents, particularly senior students, are likely to
communicate with friends using social media.
I would encourage parents to monitor their
usage, and be as aware as you can of the topics
and tone of these conversations. You, as the
parent, are able to remove these devices from
your children if you feel they are using this
form of communication inappropriately.
PUPIL FREE DAY will be on TUESDAY
5th AUGUST. Extend is planning to open their
program on that day, so please contact them if
you will be requiring childcare.
Have a fantastic holiday everyone, stay safe,
and see you in two weeks’ time.

With a classic fairy-tale setting, loads of exciting and hilarious roles to play, a variety of entertaining musical numbers and a plot full of mystery and adventure, this show has it all!
It begins in the Misty Forest, where a girl is sleeping all alone. But when she wakes, nothing looks familiar to her. She can’t remember anything — not where she’s from, how she got here or even her own name!
She embarks on a journey to discover her identity and meets several fairy-tale characters along the
way — Hansel and Gretel, Rumpelstiltskin, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Cinderella and Rapunzel to name a few.
Some are helpful, some are dangerous and some are just plain weird, but all have information to help our young girl eventually realize her true identity as a princess.
As with any good fairy tale, there’s also a prince! He’s desperate to find the princess, but he’s always
one step behind and inadvertently rescues and wins the hearts of all the wrong princesses! A rocking
musical score adds even more fun to new takes on the stories everyone loves.

Wow, what a term it has been. All
the fun times that were had by all the children as well as
the staff.
Last week the children had fun playing uno nearly every
night with different winners with all the games played.
Outside play was a must when the weather was not so
cold. Soccer was the game of choice and fun was had by
everyone playing the game.
I would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday
and will see everyone bright and early back at school on
Monday.
Next week’s activities starting: 14th July
Monday- Winter wonderland
Tuesday- Origami
Wednesday- paper plate snowman
