1 October 13th, 2017 Haddon Primary School Assistant Principal s Report Welcome back to school and to the lovely unpredictable Ballarat Spring weather. It is wonderful to see our students out playing games on the oval and enjoying the slightly warmer weather. The Golden Plains Shire will be undertaking maintenance on the Big Kid s play ground; replacing and repairing equipment, providing additional ground fall and completing maintenance work on the oval. We are very fortunate to have the use of these facilities during school hours. The Walk at School for October has commenced and it was wonderful to see so many families out after school on Tuesday enjoying the sunshine and walking several laps of the oval. Students and families are encouraged to walk before and after school for the month of October and record their efforts on the class tally sheet. Our Biannual Art Show will be held on Thursday November 16 from 5:30 8:30 pm. All students will have several pieces of work on display in the Haddon Community Centre. Food will be available and student activities will be happening throughout the evening. This is an opportunity to come together as a community and celebrate the wonderful artistic achievements of our students. Entry is free so bring your family and friends along to this wonderful event. More information will be presented in upcoming newsletters. Our 3 /4 students will take part in the Milo Cricket 20/20 next Friday and the 5 /6 student s competition will be the following week. This is a great opportunity to compete against other schools and consolidate the skills learnt at school and to demonstrate good sportsmanship behaviour.

Our school has registered to participate in VicHealth s Walk to School this October. We realise it is difficult considering our location here at Haddon for children and families to Walk to school, therefore we are changing this to WALK AT SCHOOL. During the month of October, our school, together with Golden Plains Shire Council are encouraging families to Walk At School as a great way for the whole family to increase their physical activity levels. Children and families may take the opportunity before school or after school each day to walk a lap or two of the oval together. Classroom teachers will be keeping track of student participation and we will be watching closely to see which class has the highest level of participation each week. At the end of the four weeks we will hold a healthy snack/ walking afternoon for families to spend some time walking together at school. More details to come.
