1 DATE: July 15th 2015 GORMANDALE & DISTRICT PRIMARY SCHOOL NEWSLETTER Soaring to great heights Name:... It is amazing to think that it is term 3 already I wrote Term 3 in several work books the other day and had to think is it really that far into the year. Welcome I was excited to welcome a new family to our school yesterday; Zed and Oscar have moved to our school. Peta Bishoff has also joined our school this term; she is working in the Grade 2/3 classroom, completing the final placement of her teaching degree. Melbourne Art Centre Excursion This term is a little less hectic with only one excursion to Melbourne. On the 29 th of July we will be heading to Melbourne in two separate groups I have attached the run down on which excursion each of the students will be attending. I am unable to make any changes in swapping times. A permission form will be sent home tomorrow, please return this by the 22 nd (Wednesday) so I can finalise numbers.
