The judges had a very difficult job last night in the Tootgarook Primary School Portrait Competition. Before announcing the winners I would firstly like to thank all the students for their work this term. It was especially challenging for our middle and senior students and you completed some fantastic works displaying great creativity. Secondly I would like to thank Michael Leeworthy and Papa Mick Jankovic for judging. Both are professional artists who live locally. Michael has a studio/gallery in Red Hill which is open to the public and is worth a visit if you are after a holiday activity. Now to the winners.
Prep - Grace Hunt. 1/2 - Hayley Harriss. 3/4 - Nelly Battin. 5/6 - Jenson Beacham. Open Section - Kylie Smiles.
Special Commendation Award - Tia Griffins. Thanks to Peninsula Hot Springs, The Book Barn, Moonlit Sanctuary and Top Fun for your donations. Keep enjoying your art everyone, Mr Swayn

A huge thank you to this wonderful group of Year 10 students from our local high schools who joined us at Tootgarook Primary School for their work experience placement.

Your enthusiasm, kindness, and willingness to get involved made a real difference to our students and staff. We loved having you as part of our school community and hope you enjoyed your time with us as much as we enjoyed having you here.

We wish you all the very best for the future and thank you for being such fantastic role models for our students! 🌟

For the past 2 nights I have been lucky to help out in the kitchen at the Southern Peninsula Schools Music Camp 2026. I was able to get a few photos of our Tootgarook students, and also some of our past students who are there as junior tutors. From what I heard in rehearsal this afternoon, it sounds amazing.

Hi everyone, the students are having an amazing time at Music Camp. Learning lots of songs, making new friends and eating a whole lot of food.

Concert starts at 6.00pm sharp!!!
See you there 🎼🪕🎸🎷🥁🎻🎹🎺🎶
(More photos to come after the concert 😉)

On Friday, we officially opened our brand new basketball court at Tootgarook Primary, and we couldn't be prouder! Seeing everyone out there enjoying the court made all the hard work, fundraising, planning, and community effort completely worth it.

A huge THANK YOU goes out to all of our amazing families who supported every fundraiser, bought raffle tickets, attended events, donated their time, your support has been incredible.

We'd also like to give a special shout-out to our wonderful local businesses whose generous donations and sponsorship helped make this dream a reality. Your support for our community and students means so much.

We are so grateful to everyone who played a part in making this happen. What started as an idea has now become something our community can enjoy for years to come.
