Can you believe there are 9 days left in Term 1?!?
Time is flying - with Term 1 nearly finished we are well underway in the planning for Term 2!
Thanks to everyone who has attended our FREE Product Presentations around Victoria. It was lovely to meet all of you and help you form networks with teachers in your area. Please remember to use our Facebook page as a way of getting in contact with other teachers and organising your network meetings!
Well done to all of the workshop participants and presenters from Term 1. We had several sessions fill up and were lucky to be able to offer a second session for some workshops! Remember to book in early to avoid disappointment and to still put your name on a waiting list in case a spot frees up!
The short list for Book Week will be released the first week in April and we are looking forward to planning engaging activities for our Book Week workshops next term!
Today was a busy day in the Gallery as the displays were changed over for Term 2. The official opening will be this Thursday 22 March. Please RSVP on 9890 1867. The work will be up until June 21 and we hope all participating schools will have a chance to come in to view the work in person. If you are unable to visit please check out the photos of the Gallery on our Facebook Page:
We are also very excited to be involved in the Mali in My School Project run by the Melbourne Zoo.
