February 2020 Newsletter


 


Welcome to Silverton Primary School's e-Newsletter.


Welcome back to 2020. 

I would like to welcome all our new and returning students and their families to our wonderful school again this year.  The children look so happy and excited to be back at school, mixing with their friends, meeting their teachers and ready to learn. Thanks for all you have done at home to make sure they are ready for the school year. We all look forward to another great year at Silverton.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Adam Heard for showing initiative over the holidays by organising a bake sale at Bunnings for the Zoos Victoria Emergency Bushfire Wildlife Fund. The response from the school community to Adam’s idea was amazing. The stall raised $1060.25. 

During the first week of school Silverton’s 2020 captains addressed the students about Silverton’s three important things we as a whole school community are focusing on this year; Respect, Positive Relationships and Growth Mindset.  I was so impressed in their speech that I would like to share it with all of you here.

Below are a list of important dates. Please add them to your calendar. Dates are also on the Parent Portal and App. Here is the link Sentral Calendar
