INTERIM SCHOOL COUNCIL REPORT
School Council met last night on a range of important matters that will be shared with you over the coming week.
A presentation from two members of our parent body assisted Council enormously in gaining more knowledge of the
possible health and amenity effects of the proposed east-west tunnel link. Council intends to be pro-active on behalf of
our students and the general Clifton Hill community and your views will be canvassed in the very near future.
SCIENCE CENTRE
After a slow start the new Science Centre is well under way and will still be completed sometime in November.
LANGUAGES ROOM
Work will commence this week on the two staff preparation rooms on the Organ Factory ground floor that will be totally
remodelled into one languages facility for Mandarin and French.
BOOK CHARACTER WEEK
A lot of scary and ugly characters, together with the odd princess and a horde of animals frequented the school on
Wednesday and a wonderful day was enjoyed by all. Thanks mums and dads for giving the children the opportunity to
celebrate their love of reading through dressing up as one of their much-loved book characters.
JUNIOR SCHOOL COUNCIL
Congratulations and thank you to the Junior School Council who do so much creative thinking about how to improve
the school and in supporting worthy causes. On this occasion we thank them for their decision to do a Book Week
fundraiser to assist with the new Science Centre fundraising efforts.
They have raised the grand total of $320…an extraordinary effort! Well done to JSC and the kids at Gold Street.

This year we will once again we will be holding a Father’s Day Stall Fundraiser. All students will be given the
opportunity to purchase a gift for their Dad, Step-Dad, Grandfather or other special person in their lives.

Science Talent Search
On Saturday 10th August our entrants in the state wide Science Talent Search competition presented their entries to the judges. I was judging other
entries but later caught up with the relevant judges who were enthusiastic about our students and their work. Our students are to be congratulated for
the organisational skills they demonstrated in preparing their entries. They now face a wait for the results! We expect the results early in Term 4.
We encourage our entrants to place their entries in our Whole School Science Show in Term 4 so that other students can see their work.

French Corner
En France, c’est les vacances!
We may be halfway through our third term, and shivering next to the heater at night, but in France at the moment it’s summer and schools are on holidays.
What are some of the things we can say about summer?
J’aime aller à la plage.
Je porte un teeshirt et un short.
Combien de mots peux-tu trouver?
Je veux manger une glace.
Je nage. Je fais de la nata3on.
Il fait chaud.
J’aime regarder le cricket.

Claude Monet Exhibition – Le Jardin de Monet
Recently the Grade Five students visited the Claude Monet exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria. In the exhibition there were
a range of different impressionist artists represented but the majority of the art works were those of Monet. When we first got to the
gallery we met Grace who taught us a little bit about Monet and his art. Then we took a look around while answering questions, in
French, about the art. After looking at the paintings, we got to create our own art inspired by Monet. Two of my favourite paintings
were “Gros Temps à Étretat” and I also really like his series of waterlily paintings “Les Nymphéas”. We learnt a lot about the ways
different colours compliment each other and how a little bit of colour can influence the whole piece of art. We also saw how Monet
would use the same scene but paint it multiple times, at different times of the day, to accentuate the changes in light and colour.

Editorial
Fair plans are gaining momentum as the days are getting longer and we move into the warmer months of the year.
More good news to share with the Friendly Moving Men becoming one of our Fair Sponsors. Their assistance will
be invaluable. We are still looking for a few more stall coordinators however if you are unable to donate your time,
perhaps you may consider donating materials to some of the stalls or start your spring cleaning early this year by
allowing others to love books or second hand music.
We will continue to inform you about progress with updates at the various noticeboards around the school and
don’t forget to check out our growing list of generous businesses who have already donated by going to our
Facebook page -- 100 likes and growing!!
Remember, the more funds we raise, the more we have to contribute towards our state of the art Science Centre.

Clifton Hill Primary School Fair would like to thank Ben from the Friendly Moving
Men who has signed up to be a sponsor of our school fair. The Friendly Moving Men
have volunteered four and a half days of their time to pick up and drop off the chairs,
trestles, marquees etc. that are shared between eight local schools as part of the
Fair Collective. The Fair Collective comprises of all the furniture owned and used
collectively by these schools for the sole purposes of their respective fairs.
The Friendly Moving Men are based locally in Collingwood, and promise to take care of all your Melbourne house moving needs in a stress free and cost effective way.
They have years of furniture removals experience and carry all the professional moving equipment to ensure your move runs smoothly.
Look them up at http://www.friendlymovingmen.com.au.
