125 Years of Education at Princes Hill

We are having a day to celebrate 125 years of education at Princes Hill on 3^rd December, 2014. The event will commence with the launch of our new school flag at 9:00am. This will occur on the mini oval.  The flag emerged from artworks created by students during 2014, celebrating their values and identity. The children worked under the guidance of artist, Helen Johnson. Following this there will be a day of exposition highlighting contemporary education at Princes Hill Primary School. Tours will be offered at 10:00am, 12:00 midday and 1:00pm. The tours will begin in the gymnasium with a short performance showcasing the interests and talent within the student community, followed by a guided tour of the learning neighbourhoods where the school’s exploration of the concept of change will be presented. This will be an opportunity for Princes Hill’s past alumni to revisit their school days. We also welcome our present community members to join us during the day.  Tours must be booked through the school office (93895300). We request the people coming on a tour register in the gym foyer ten minutes prior to the start of the tour. All children in the school will be invited to dress up for the day, choosing clothing from a decade within the past 125 years.

A sign up sheet will be placed on the front window of the neighbourhood with the days, groups and times. If you are interested, please come and sign up for a session that suits you.

Thanks in advance,

CERES Excursion

Last week the Year Two Neighbourhood went on excursion to CERES Community Environment Park. We had a fabulous time participating in four workshops: Worms and Minibeasts, Bin Sort and Plastic Fantastic, Paper Making and a walk on the Merri Creek.

Thank you to the parent helpers who joined us for the excursion - it was great to spend the day with you!

Here are some photos from the excursion:
