Dear Parents,
Thank you to all the parents who attended the Student Led Conferences last Thursday, it
was a successful day. Parents who haven’t had their student led conference as yet please
contact the teacher as soon as possible.
Congratulations, we now have 383 families on Sentral. The online interview booking
procedure went smoothly. Also, parents are using the portal to explain their child's
absence from school. This process seems to be working very well. The next step for us is
to publish June reports online in preparation for December.
Yangcheng Number One School – Sister School in China
I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge our Host Families for opening up their
homes to accommodate a student/s from China over five nights. Silverton students and
teachers have now made a real connection with our Sister School and we will continue this
relationship for many years to come. It was a wonderful experience for our whole school
community.
Protecting Our School
If anyone notices any unusual
activity at the school outside
school hours, please call the
Springvale Police on 8558-8600

EARN AND LEARN
We are participating in this program so if
you, relatives or friends shop at
Woolworths please collect the stickers and
bring them into school.
Could you please bring them in as you get them rather than
save them up. We have to count &
package them so it is much easier to do in
smaller lots than one big huge one.
Thankyou!

SAFETY IN SILVERTON DRIVE
We would like to remind parents that the 2 minute designated drop off zone in Silverton Drive are for just that
purpose dropping off your child NOT to park your car and leave the vehicle to bring your child into school.
These areas have been created by the local Council to help with the congestion in the street due to the lack of
parking, so please obey these signs and do not park there for long periods.
Also a reminder not to do u-turns directly outside the school front gate.
This is a very dangerous thing to be doing for the safety of children, the crossing supervisor & other vehicles we ask
that you please don’t do this.
The Council has been informed about both these issues so next time you may be fined.

It is an expectation that all Silverton school children will attend both nights of the concert
to participate in their performances. It is the parents’ responsibility to organise transport for
their child/children to and from the
concert. Children are expected to
attend the concert on both nights.

The price of the tickets is well below
the level required to cover costs on
the night but we feel it is important to
keep them affordable to ensure
maximum attendance.
The concert is our way of showing

talented children of Silverton Primary School.
