💜 Principal’s Update 💜
Dear Aubin Grove families,
What a wonderful and busy few weeks we have had at Aubin Grove! There has been so much happening across the school, and it has been fantastic to see our students embracing every opportunity to learn, enjoy, aspire and focus.
🎶 One Big Voice
One of the highlights was seeing our talented students take part in One Big Voice at RAC Arena. There is something incredibly special about thousands of students coming together to sing, connect and celebrate the joy of music.
Our students were absolutely sensational and represented Aubin Grove with such pride. Even after facing a few challenges with late buses and traffic, they remained positive, patient and excited to be part of the experience.
We were particularly proud to hear that RAC Arena staff commented on how polite and well-mannered our students were. What a wonderful reflection of our students and our school community!
A huge thank you to our Music teachers, Mrs Bisdee and Mrs Johnstone, for the countless hours they have dedicated to rehearsals and preparation. We are also very grateful to the staff and parents who supported our students throughout the evening.
🔬 Science Week
Our classrooms have been buzzing with curiosity during Science Week! It has been wonderful to see students investigating, questioning, experimenting and discovering how the world around them works.
Science provides such a wonderful opportunity for students to be curious, take risks, make mistakes and try again, all important parts of being a learner. Our Science team has the important role of assessing over 100 Science experiment entries, and the winners will be notified in the near future.
💜Bullying No Way Week
We have also recognised Bullying No Way Week, with a strong focus on kindness, inclusion, respect and belonging.
At Aubin Grove, we want every child to feel that they are a valued and important part of our school community. Our students have been encouraged to think about the way their words and actions can make others feel and, importantly, how they can be an upstander when they see someone who needs support.
Thank you to our staff for the thoughtful conversations and activities happening across classrooms, and to our families for continuing these important conversations at home.
💜Coming Up…
We have plenty more happening over the coming weeks!
🏃♀️ K–2 Faction Carnival
We are looking forward to seeing our youngest students having fun, giving things a go and cheering on their faction.
🔒 Lockdown Drill
We will be conducting a lockdown drill as part of our ongoing commitment to student and staff safety. Families will receive information ahead of the drill so that you can talk with your children about the purpose of the practice and reassure them that they are safe.
🌟 EA & SNEA Week
We will be celebrating our incredible Education Assistants and Special Needs Education Assistants and recognising the enormous contribution they make to our students and school every single day. Their patience, care, expertise and commitment make such a difference to our children.
💛 R U OK? Day
We will also be taking the opportunity to focus on connection, kindness and checking in with one another. Sometimes a simple “Are you OK?” can be the beginning of an important conversation.
🚸 Crosswalk Attendant Update
Our brand new Crosswalk Attendant, Peter, is off to the UK on holiday to visit his family. We wish him a wonderful holiday and look forward to seeing him back next term!
As always, thank you to our wonderful families for your ongoing support. Our school is at its best when we work together, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of such a positive and caring community.
Keep learning, keep smiling and keep looking out for one another.
Lynna Matthews
Principal
