- Friday afternoon Assembly will be held at a slightly earlier time of 2:25pm. This will allow teachers time to take students back to class to pack their bags to go home and, also means our leaders can help pack up after assembly.
- Choir permission forms for Ivanhoe performance on Wednesday 18 May to be returned to Mrs Newell asap.
- Wednesday 25 May is our school Open night. It will be a family maths night. More information will follow.
- Monday 6 June we will be having our Prep school readiness information night for our 2023 Prep parents.
- We understand that parents are having difficulty getting uniform orders from FCW but we ask that parents please ensure that their children are in uniform each day. This includes green track bottoms or pants and the correct school jumpers. We do have some second hand uniforms at the office but would also like any donations if students have grown out of their own clothing. We sell this for a gold coin donation.
- Saturday 21 May is Election Day! Bundoora Secondary College is holding a Sausage Sizzle, Cake Stall and Coffee, Tea, Hot Chocolate cart from 8am to 4pm. Grab yourself a democracy sausage!

STUDENT ATTITUDES TO SCHOOL SURVEY
Students in grades 4 to 6 will be completing the Student Attitudes to School Survey that takes place annually. The Department of Education surveys students to ask them questions about their learning and wellbeing. This data then forms goals for each school to help us meet the students’ needs. The survey usually takes about 25 minutes and the students complete the survey with either Mrs Dunn or Ms Strath.
FOOD DRIVE – DIAMOND VALLEY FOODSHARE
This is a reminder that the Food Drive is on for the whole month of May. Our food collection is for Diamond Valley Foodshare.
Please remember the items need to be non perishable items such as canned goods, dried pasta, rice, etc.
Please do not bring fresh foods such as fruits, vegetables and meat – essentially no refrigerated items.
Toiletries are welcome and will be donated to one of our charities, such as Share the Dignity.
