Please can I request the support of our community in making arrangements for our students to stay at home this coming Friday. There will not be any members of the Drysdale Primary School staff in school on Friday as we shall be attending Mel Burton’s funeral. If you are really unable to make alternative arrangements, and I do understand that this will be necessary for some families, please can you let the office know before Thursday lunchtime. This is important so that I can arrange for enough teachers from others schools to be here. Thanks to the generous support of our parent community, the school office will be open for messages and to answer the phone. Please note that the school canteen will be closed on Friday.

On the 30th of May the Year 3 students went to Narana Creations. They learnt about the life of Australia’s first people to support the Inquiry Big idea ‘Australia has its own geography, people and celebrations that have grown and changed over time’.
Students threw a boomerang, feed some of the Australian native animals, explored artifacts and participated in a dance.
The students then had their lunch at the Torquay play park and had a ball on the timber playground.
It was a fabulous day!

On Tuesday 5th of June players from the Geelong cats came to DPS. The two people who came were Nakia Cockatoo and James Parsons. They came into 4S, so did all the other year 4‘s. The things they talked about were physical activity, sleep, screen time, healthy eating and themselves. Mae Year 4.
Nakia Cockatoo and James Parson came to Drysdale Primary School to teach us about healthy heroes and all the subjects like (Physical activity, Healthy eating and screen time and sleep also drinking). I learnt that if your pee is dark yellow you have not been drinking 7 cups. And also you should only get 1 hour screen time. Dylan Year 4.
Parents and Students can access Healthy Heroes resources to use at home from the Geelong Cats. Simply click on the following link http://www.geelongcats.com.au/club/community/healthy-heroes

On Tuesday the 12th of June Stella and Grace tackled the challenge of holding a morning tea for the staff. They spent all of their public holiday cooking and arrived at school at 8.30am, after arriving they started to set up shortbread, banana bread, brownie and caramel slice. They lined the table with a cancer council tablecloth as they were raising money for the Cancer Council. They raised a total of $228.70. Thank you staff for your generousness.
