150th CELEBRATION

This year Axedale Primary School celebrates 150 years of schooling. With this year being a bit different we thought we would start sharing some interesting information we have about our school. Below is a link to the first page.

PREP ENROLMENTS 2021

We would normally begin our 2021 Prep information sessions in Term 2, during Education Week. Due to the current situation, we won’t be able to hold any of our planned information sessions this term. We are currently working on a virtual tour of our school which will be available on our school website. If you are a parent of a Prep student or know of a Prep student enrolling for 2021, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

We ask that Prep enrolment forms are returned to school ASAP so we can begin planning for 2021.

CURRICULUM DAYS - PUPIL FREE

At the June School Council meeting the following dates were approved as our pupil free curriculum days for the rest of this year. On these days staff will be involved in professional learning and development.

• Monday 31^st August
• Friday 16^th October
• Monday 23^rd November

FRUIT TREE DRIVE

This morning the trees were delivered for our fundraiser. We had 47 individual orders placed with nearly 500 trees ordered. All people who placed an order will have received either an email or message from the school with collection details.

We can’t wait to finalise this fundraiser and confirm the amount raised. Thanks again to families and the wider community for their support.

STUDENT AWARDS

Congratulations to the following students who are the award winners this week:

OUR SCHOOL ZONE

Our school zone is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au which hosts the most up-to-date information about Victorian school zones for 2020 onwards.

Students residing in this zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined on the basis of your permanent residential address.

The Department provides guidance through the Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their designated neighbourhood school and the freedom to choose other schools, subject to facility limitations.

You can find more information and answers to frequently asked questions on the Department’s website under School zones.

THE VISION

Axedale Primary School has as its motto "Excellence Through Endeavour" and this forms the basis of the whole school vision.
