If you would like to attend, please fill out the attached RSVP form.

‎‎

‘Latte with Leanne’ Community Connections is a casual morning tea, aimed to build and strengthen our connections with our school community – depending on your strengths, availability, and motivation, the morning could involve:

‎‎

– General conversation with other parents/carers/guardians (for those of you who just want to socialise and get to know other Wayi families)

– Strategising and planning fundraising events for our school (for those of you who like to get busy and active and have some spare time to raise some $$$)

– Resourcing support (for those of you who like to socialise but keep busy at the same time)

‎‎

We hope to see you there!

VICTORIAN PREMIERS’ READING CHALLENGE

The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is now open and Wayi School is excited to be participating. The PRC application offers a range of exciting features including:

‎

access to a library catalogue (including book images and blurbs)

a modern user-friendly interface

rewarding students with badges as challenge milestones are achieved

the option for students to mark books as a favourite, give them a star rating or complete a book review

‎

The Challenge is open to all Victorian children in recognition of the importance of reading for literacy development. It is not a competition; but a personal challenge for children to read a set number of books by 6 September 2024.

All children who meet the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the Victorian Premier and former Premiers.
