Boneo Buzz: 20th May
Dear Parents and Carers,
This year, Education Week runs from 22nd –28th May. The theme, ‘150 Years of Public Education’ commemorates the past, celebrates the present and imagines the future of education in Victoria.
Education Week is an opportunity for our school to highlight our education journey. This year, our school is 149 years old.
We will be celebrating Education Week by inviting our parents and special friends to ‘Share the Joy of Learning’ open morning on Wednesday 25th May. Children are excited to share their writing from 9am until 10am.
Additionally, the children have organised a school disco on Friday 27th May in the Hall.
- 5pm to 6pm Prep to Year 2
- 6pm to 7pm Years 3 to 6
Cost is $5 to be paid to the school by Thursday 26th May.
Rapid Antigen Test Update
There have been changes to the provision of Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) in our school for the remainder of Term 2. RATs will continue to be distributed to you as they have been throughout this school year for the remainder of this term.
However, from Monday 23 May 2022, students will no longer be recommended to undertake twice weekly RATs in mainstream schools.
- RATs will continue to be required by students who are household contacts to attend school (5 negative tests over a 7-day period) or who have symptoms.
The ongoing supply of RATs to families in our school will ensure that parents and carers will have them should they need them if:
- their child is a household contact,
- has symptoms or
- if there is an outbreak in the year level.
Families must continue to notify the Department of Health and the school if their child returns a positive RAT result. Additionally, you should inform us if any of your children are household contacts.
Thank you also to all families who have had their children vaccinated. If you have any questions about the vaccines, I encourage you to speak to your GP or a health practitioner.
Thank you again for your ongoing cooperation and support.
Instrumental Music
Dear Parents and Students,
My name is Gareth and I am so excited to be providing Guitar lessons at Boneo Primary school starting next Thursday 26th of May.
I’ve been a professional musician for most of my life, playing all over Victoria and interstate first picking up the guitar at 11 years old and also teaching the next generation of musicians for over 10 years.
Our lessons take place during the day, a weekly 30-minute lesson with everything you need to start or continue your musical journey included with your enrolment.
