Bendigo Violet Street Primary

We hope everyone is managing to stay sort of cool in the heat. Look after yourselves and reach out for support if you need it.

We’ve got a few very hot days ahead of us 🥵

Please be prepared for the heatwave that is predicted to hit Bendigo and surrounds over the coming days.

Hot weather can put extra pressure on the electricity network and may lead to outages. If you lose power, please have a plan to keep cool by using the What's Your Plan booklet or by identifying a nearby location with air conditioning.

You can find more What’s Your Plan tips on the City’s Emergency Dashboard:

Please stay cool, check in on others, keep hydrated, and stay up to date with weather forecasts and warnings over the next few days.

Hello Grade 6 Parents.
Graduation is fast approaching. Don't forget to send through a baby photo for our grad book and to hop online amd give permission for the event.

Winners!! Congratulations to Ms Sheridan Leversha and our students for scooping the prize pool at the Bendigo Show! Thank you so much Sheridan for working with our students to create that fabulous display, for supporting students to enter the baked goods competition and for making time to transport everything and set it up.

Swimming lost property is in the courtyard. Please come and check to see if anything belongs at your home!!

We've all been enjoying our new garden areas that Dan and our students have planned and planted out together. Unfortunately, someone decided to take the plants from our front entrance garden. We hope, whoever you are, that you really needed those plants because there's going to be some very disappointed children when they see what has happened. If anyone saw or knows anything, please let the Bendigo Police know. We have also made a report.
🙁

Congratulations to our choir, beautiful backing singing for Keith McNamara's 'Michael Crawford' tribute show at The Capital today. Thank you Bridget Finch for supporting our choir to be involved. Such a wonderful opportunity for our students to experience being part of a professional performance.

End of term already! We hope all our students, families and staff who are still struggling with winter illnesses are able to rest and recover over the holidays. Thank you all for your support over the term, and, a last reminder to complete the parent/carer survey please! Details have been emailed.
