News & Events

On Thursday, 28th April, the Year 3/4s went on an local excursion to the Crib Point cenotaph. The focus was the ANZAC Day commemoration origins and meaning. Using street maps, students found the grid references for certain local streets named after WW1 VC winners.

Today Lexi, Indie, Bernie and Amanda travelled down to Sorrento Pier to board ‘Moonraker’ for an amazing afternoon on Port Phillip Bay for the iSea, iCare program with the Dolphin Research Institute.We were so fortunate to have the opportunity to snorkel alongside pods of dolphins and the Australian fur seal colony at Chinaman’s Hat. While we were there, a huge stingray swam underneath us and the seals were super curious; swimming around and underneath the snorkellers.

We spent time at Pope’s Eye looking for more seals and the gannet colony while warming up with hot chocolate and donuts.

Today, our grades 1-6 had the privilege of being thoroughly entertained with live music, shadow puppets, and some really smelly farts as we watched and laughed out loud as the live stage performance of Charlie and the War Against Grannies, based on Alan Brough’s children’s novel of the same name, unfloded at Arts Centre Melbourne.

With the weather so wonderful and a little spare time on the agenda before we needed to hop on the bus and head back to school, we were able to make was an extra special stop.

Students from the 5/6 area all participated in the annual Science Fair on Friday 2nd of November. The Science Fair is a wonderful opportunity for students to not only see what other schools are doing in their Science/STEM programs, but to also show case what we are doing. This year we presented our digital portfolios we made using our digital microscopes. All students had a chance to supervise our stall. Special well done goes to Thomas, Lauren, Noah, Taya and Ollie for presenting to 200 students in the auditorium. As always our students represented our school with respect, courtesy and enthusiasm.

Students from the 5/6 area attended the Kids Teaching Kids program on Thursday the 6th down at the Quarantine Station at the Point Nepean National Park. They gave a presentation on how schools can reduce their carbon footprint with a variety of recycling and reusing programs. As always, our students behaved beautifully and represented their school perfectly. Well done to all involved!

Students were treated to an outstanding day of Indonesian activities. Students made masks, shadow puppets as well as learning traditional Indonesian dances before performing a whole school dance to parents and visitors. A big thank you to Nisa for all her hard work in organising an amazing day!

Year 5/6 students commemorated Remembrance Day by visiting Fort Nepean at the Point Nepean National Park. The weather was perfect and the children learnt a lot about the fort’s history. At 11AM we held our minutes silence after listening to the last post at the Quarantine Station. As always our children behaved brilliantly and represented their school with honour.

Today the members of the R.A.N. band visited our school to perform. The entire school was involve and everyone involved had a fantastic time. A big thank you to everyone involved in organising such a great morning!

As part of Safety Week, the Crib Point CFA came out to discuss various aspects of fire safety at home. The visit finished with a tour of their fire truck. A big thanks to Geoff and the team at the Crib Point CFA!
