On Wednesday 12 June, the Foundation students took part in a Nursery Rhyme Day. We came dressed up as our favourite nursery rhyme characters and recited lots of our favourite rhymes.It is that time of the year when families with children due to start school in 2014 make the necessary enrolment arrangements through the school office. For those who are a little confused by the term "Foundation", this is simply the title for the first year of schooling as outlined in the National Curriculum, known as AUSVELS in Victoria.
The Woolworths Earn & Learn Program has now finished. Please hand in completed voucher sheets at the office. The more the school collects, the more we can redeem!
Glen Iris Primary School was established in 1865.

Mick Garrett who spoke to parents two years ago has agreed to speak again at our regular cyber safety information night. More details next term.
In our Cybersafety Section (Parents) there are new links to articles for parents including one on KIK messenger.
Involvement in schools by parents and carers helps children achieve the best possible learning outcomes. You can participate in school life, both formally and informally, through school councils, parent clubs and volunteering.
New furniture has arrived for the Technology area that gives students the option of working in different positions. Some tables are 90cm high which allow students to stand to use laptops while others can sit at new collaborative tables. (We are still awaiting delivery of 2 more tables.) Students who prefer to work in a quieter environment have the option of wall-facing desks.
