OSHC and VAC Care 2019

From the start of the 2019 school year  Immanuel will be operating our own OSHC and Vac Care. We thank Camp Australia for the provision of their service for many years but we have taken on board the feedback given to us and so will be operating our own service from Tuesday 29 January. Current arrangements for the 2018/19 Vac Care through Camp Australia will continue.

We will provide updates to our community on the details of this in the coming weeks, but we can let you know that we now have accreditation to operate and our Director will be Mrs Katrina Ponte (who has done a considerable amount of teaching at Immanuel this year and will be well known to our students.) We will also be using a new space and details will be uploaded to our website soon.

Senior Unit Update Week 5 Term 4

Welcome to Week 5 and this is probably how many are feeling as we close on our exhibition night. With that being said it is action stations in the Senior Unit as we put the finishing touches to our Exhibition pieces and check to see if the t's are crossed and the i's dotted. 

Here are some Exhibition shots to whet the appetite. 


















Special Friends Day
This Friday is Special Friends day and we look forward to people coming into the school and having a look at the exhibition and spending time seeing what we do. We just want to remind people that we have Bike Ed on Friday as well and that will involve some groups riding for 1 and a half hours. 
Our Bike Ed schedule looks like this for Friday
9.00 - 10.30 - Mr Jones' group
10.30 - Recess
11.00 - 12.30 - Mrs Eckermann's group
12.30 - Lunch
1.15- 2.45 - Mr Semmler's Group

Senior Unit Movie Night
We have been trying to organise a Senior Unit Movie night as a last chance to catch up and share together. While the details are sketchy due to calendar restrictions we will have more details by the end of the week. This is an initiative of Senior Unit Students.

Final Thought
The Swiss must've been pretty confident in their chances of victory if they included a corkscrew on their army knife.


Be like the Swiss and know victory is ahead!

Wow it's week 4 and the term is flying by. There are so many things going on and exhibition is at the top of the list. So without further ado lets get stuck into the notes for this week.

Exhibition
This is our main task at the moment. With a week and a half left till our exhibition night things are going full throttle. Posters, models, editing etc are all talking place. As it all comes to a head we look forward to seeing what is produced for the night.


Bike Ed
We had our first Bike Ed session on Friday and it was a great to see people riding around. Our bike check was successful with only 2 bikes not passing the road safety test.
With another 5 weeks to go we look forward to developing our riding skills and improving our knowledge of road rules.
