the online activities. I do hope there will be some delicious breakfasts prepared on Sunday by our talented student chefs!
Another event the Parents’ Association is sponsoring is an Online Disco on Thursday September 16 from 3.30-4.30pm. More information will be provided soon, thank you to Mrs Puckering for her work in sourcing this event to end the term happily.
Individual NAPLAN reports were posted to year three and five parents yesterday, if parents would like to discuss the reports please call your child’s teacher, myself or Ms Garrity.
As I have mentioned previously, we are beginning the process of developing the school structure for 2022. It is essential that we go through this process with the most accurate information so we would appreciate enrolment forms completed as soon as possible and lodged before the end of term at the latest. Similarly, if you are moving and leaving POPS, we need to know this information as soon as possible so that we can build this information into our modelling. The enrolment form can be accessed on the website at www.pops.vic.edu.au and when completed can be emailed or dropped into school.
Keep up the fabulous work with the Family Challenges, it is wonderful to see how creative our families are! Next week’s challenge is a camp challenge, and we are looking forward to seeing all the fantastic photos.
One of the key pillars to “Wellbeing” is to treat oneself kindly, particularly in stressful times. Throughout the day try to take some micro breaks, look out of the window, take a deep breath, stop and identify something small to be grateful, ie, a flower, a sunset, a child’s laugh, a bird’s song, the sunshine etc, and then reflect on it. It is also okay to have a day where not all planned tasks are achieved, be gentle with yourself and your loved ones.
Thank you to the generous year four parents who treated the staff on site to coffee and croissants last week and also for delicious cupcakes from Hazel Ruivenkamp, they were delightful treats and much appreciated.
Please reach out to myself or Ms Garrity if you need help or support.

The recent announcement of the extension of remote and flexible learning until the end of term three is disappointing but based on health advice to keep our students and communities safe. Current-ly there is no date yet when students will return to onsite learning. Our wonderful staff will continue to provide an engaging program to enable each student to continue their learning while at home. We are very grateful for the support from parents and I said last week, this strong partnership between parents and staff makes all the difference in this uncertain time. This announcement also means that our planned camps for students in years three to six over the next two weeks will not proceed. However, we have been able to secure bookings for shortened camps in December for all students. More information will be distributed to parents of students in those classes.
It was fabulous to see so many students and parents having such fun at our online Fathers’/Special Person’s Breakfast this morning. Congratulations and many thanks to Mrs Southgate from the Parents Association and her team for organising this happy event to help keep our community connected. Thank you to Ms Garrity, Mrs Debono and Mrs Bullen for support with the setup and special thanks to our year six students for their help during

Our Aussie of the month is Emily K from 3/4P.
Emily is a kind and considerate student who consistently exhibits all Poppy Tribes values. She is kind and thoughtful and she applies herself wholly to all tasks. Emily is a very generous and respectful member of our school community. She is a reliable young lady who is valued by her peers and teachers and is a delight to have in class. Emily is well deserving of being our POPS Aussie of the Month.
