Congratulations to Oscar from Year 6 whose writing was included in the most recent edition of The Springdale Messenger. This is a very mature piece of writing which shows his potential as an author or a journalist. We love celebrating our children’s achievements which are so many and varied. In the same edition a number of current and recent students who play soccer for Drysdale Soccer Club were mentioned for their achievements with Drysdale and in moving on to a more representative level with teams in Geelong, these include Harry in Year 6 and former students Leisel, Beth and  Jack.

I have been asked to clarify what appears to be known as ‘the 8:50 rule’. At Drysdale Primary School we provide active supervision of the children in the playgrounds from 8:50am each morning. Children should not arrive at school before this time unless they are being supervised by an adult or are part of our Before School Care program which is run by Camp Australia in our school hall. We ask the students not to enter the buildings to put their bags away until after 8:50am. However, adults who wish to talk to their child’s teacher are welcome to call in at the classroom. The teachers are often in their rooms at this time setting up their class to welcome the students, but they may also be away from their room attending meetings. If you are looking for your child’s teacher and they are not in their room, please call in at the Administration Office where our Office Staff will arrange for the teacher to contact you.

Yesterday the whole school participated in Clean Up Australia and did our bit to help clean up Drysdale Primary School.

All year levels assisted in picking up and cleaning our school grounds to keep them free from rubbish and food scraps. To make our clean up successful, the school has purchased 50 buckets, 50 tongs and 50 pairs of garden gloves.

Well done to all the students who participated and remember to “Keep Drysdale Primary School Beautiful.”
