PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
On Wednesday and Thursday of this week, our students have participated in four
Circus Oz workshops. These events were sponsored by the RACV Club and vigorously
supported by the staff of the Dandenong Drum Theatre. The Mayor of Greater
Dandenong, Cr Sean O’Reilly, was an enthusiastic participant as shown in the
photographs below.
It is events like these that form great bonds of friendship and kindness between all
members, organisations and business in our community.
Circus Oz will be performing at the Drum Theatre in Dandenong on 21st and 22nd
August. I highly recommend this to you as a fantastic family outing. The Drum Theatre
can be contacted on
8571 1666.

We will be studying the value, Excellence for the next fortnight.
Excellence is demonstrated every time we give our absolute best to a task.
Excellence is not about comparing ourselves to others or trying to compete against others. It is about doing the best we can. And it begins with practicing and never giving up.
Sir Donald Bradman practiced his batting skills as a child by hitting a golf ball with a stump. He is remembered around the world as the greatest batsman of the past 200 years.
The team of performers from Circus Oz demonstrated Excellence to the students of Emerson School this week. Their many hours of practice has given them great skills to teach , and amaze, our students with their incredible skills.
The sponsorship of the RACV and Drum Theatre made this event possible. We were very excited to have so many talented visitors to our school, including the Mayor of the City of Greater Dandenong, Mr Sean O’Reilly.

HOUSE ATHLETICS CARNIVAL NEXT WEEK!
The house athletics carnival will be held next Wednesday at our Middle School campus. While the focus of the day will be around having fun, results from our athletics carnival will be used to select a team to represent Emerson School at the inter-school athletics event later this month.
It would be great if we could see all students in their house colours. REMEMBER: Crazy house hats, Crazy house hair and Crazy house coloured clothes are all welcomed at athletics day!

DENTAL TIPS…
Parents set a good example; brush and floss your teeth. Children tend to
imitate the actions of their parents.
If your teeth hurt when you eat or drink cold/hot foods, your teeth may be
sensitive. Visit your dentist.
BOOK FAIR
Coming in September to the Junior/Senior Campus and the Middle Campus.
