performed at the Kel Watson Theatre next Wednesday 27th and Thursday
28th July. The staff and children have been working hard rehearsing for
our school production with the main cast and bands rehearsing during the
holidays. Tomorrow we have a full dress rehearsal at school from 11.30-
1.30pm in the Multi-purpose Room and next Wednesday the whole school
will be travelling by bus to Kel Watson Theatre for a rehearsal in the
theatre. It promises to be a great experience for all children and a night
not to be missed. Tickets are selling fast and can be purchased online at:

T-Ball Champions
Our T-ball Team qualified for the District Championships which were held
last Monday at Gilbert Park. After winning many games to get to this
stage I’m pleased to announce that our Team was victorious in winning
the District final, firstly beating Boronia K-12 and then beating St Andrews
in the final. The Team has now qualified for the Metropolitan
Championships to be held in the next few weeks. This is a fantastic effort
and a credit to all the hard work put in by the team, Miss K and Mrs.
Tuohey. Well done boys we are all very proud of you not only for the fact
that you won the final but also the way you represented our school.
Deakin Science Students
This term, 25 fourth year science students from Deakin University will be
attending WASPS every Friday to teach a Science Unit to our Grade 1-4
children. The students will be at WASPS from 10.00am - 1.30pm each
Friday. We welcome the students and their Lecturer Mr. Peter Hope to
WASPS.
School Strategic Plan
Our School Strategic Plan is divided into four areas.
1. Student Achievement
2. Student Engagement
3. Wellbeing
4. Productivity
In each of these areas we have set goals and standards to achieve over a
four year period.
To achieve and monitor our progress we have in place an Annual
Implementation Plan which gives us direction as to how we are going to
achieve the high standards we have set.
I’m pleased to say that at this stage we are well and truly ahead and in
many cases have exceeded our expectations and goals. We are so
fortunate to have such a dedicated and professional staff who are always
striving to improve outcomes for all children.
Prep Information Night.
We had a great turnout of parents at our first Prep Information Session
last Tuesday evening. Many thanks to Miss Paton and Miss Bain for
organising such an informative night. Our first Prep Transition Day will be
held on Friday 14th October.
Have a great weekend
I look forward to seeing everyone at the School Production next
week.
Go Tigers!!!
