As we finish Term 1, it is a fabulous opportunity to reflect on what has been a strong and productive start to the 2026 school year. It has been pleasing to see students across all year levels actively involved and committed to their learning.

Mr Crotti and I would like to acknowledge the outstanding efforts of our staff. Their commitment, professionalism, and ability to adapt in a busy and evolving term have ensured that all students have remained supported and engaged.

We also thank our parents and carers for the role you play in supporting your child’s learning and wellbeing. A special acknowledgement goes to our Fundraising Team for their work in coordinating the Icy Pole sales, Hot Cross Bun sales and Easter Egg raffle. When schools and families work together with a shared focus, students benefit both academically and socially. Your children are more likely to stay engaged, build positive relationships, and experience success in their learning.

Strong partnerships allow us to respond more effectively to student needs and strengthen overall outcomes. This is clearly reflected in the success of our partnership with Thomastown Neighbourhood House (THN). Through this collaboration, we have been able to provide additional support, connection and opportunities for our families, strengthening our sense of community and ensuring that every child is supported to thrive both at school and within our Thomastown neighbourhood.

Thank you to our families, staff and students for your organisation and support in making our Parent/Student/Teacher Conferences run so smoothly. Many parents and carers shared how proud they are of their children’s efforts and progress. We feel the same way and are really proud of our students for all the effort they’ve put in this term.

Student Leadership
At our whole school assembly, we proudly presented leadership badges to our Student Voice Team, Student Representative Council, and Year 6 Class Captains. Congratulations to all of our student leaders.

Ms Milly Taylor will be supporting the Student Representative Council this year, and Mrs Santiglia is looking forward to leading the Student Voice Team.

These habits help children return to school settled, safe and ready to learn.

Resting and Recharging for the Term Break

Hello Families,

Congratulations to all our students for successfully navigating Term 1! As we head into the break, our Wellbeing Team wanted to share a few thoughts on how to support your child’s recovery over the next two weeks.

After the intensity of a long first term, many students enter a "decompression" phase. They might seem more tired or withdrawn than usual—this is a natural part of processing the term's demands. To help them truly recharge, we recommend focusing on active recovery:

1. Prioritise Sleep: Establishing a consistent bedtime is the foundation for a healthy mood and better focus.
2. Embrace "Down Time": While it's tempting to fill the break with activities, leaving blocks of time for unstructured play or relaxation helps reduce mental clutter.
3. Connection Over Correction: Use this time to engage in low-pressure activities together—like a walk or a movie night—focusing on connection rather than academic performance.
4. Digital Detox: Gently encourage periods of time away from screens to help reset their focus and improve mood.

Wishing all our families a safe, restful, and restorative break. We look forward to seeing everyone refreshed for Term 2!

Our office monitors continue to play an important role in supporting daily routines and assisting with front office tasks. These Grade 6 students demonstrate responsibility and pride, and their contribution benefits both staff and peers. As many of our monitors are new to the role, they are learning valuable skills in communication, organisation and leadership. We ask for your patience and encouragement as they grow in confidence and capability. We greatly appreciate their efforts and the positive way they represent our school community.

WEEK 9

CUP OF LIFE

Term 1 Week 9 Student Attendance Report

As part of the Department of Education Every Day Counts initiative, schools report attendance in percentages. The Government regard 95% as the minimum satisfactory attendance for a school student.

The percentages in the table below indicates the average attendance for each class for this week.

The shaded boxes  below indicate which classroom has the highest level of attendance for their year level.

Every day of learning really does count!

At TWPS we want every child to achieve their full potential and we know that parents share this goal. There is a clear link between good attendance and educational achievement. If your child is not in school, on time, as often as possible they will be missing out on many important parts of their
education.                      

Why is regular attendance at school important?

Regular school attendance will mean that your child has a better chance in life. Your child will achieve better when they go to school all day, every school day...

*they learn better   
*they make friends      
*they are happier   
*they have a brighter future

If your child is sick, of course it is appropriate to keep your child at home but

other ‘days off’ school add up to lost learning.  See below:

CUP OF LIFE

Well done to all the boys and girls who are attending school every day. 

Congratulations! The room that had the BEST ATTENDANCE for Week 9 Term 1 is Room 18

Congratulations to the following students who have achieved 100% attendance in Term 1!

Congratulations to the following students on receiving an attendance encouragement award!

We are delighted to share the wonderful success of our fundraising efforts this term. Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we raised over $800 from the Easter raffle and more than $100 from the hot cross bun sales. These achievements would not have been possible without the generosity and enthusiasm of our parents, carers, and staff—thank you all for your contributions.

Congratulations to all those who won a prize in the raffle at this morning’s assembly,enjoy your Easter goodies!

We would also like to extend a very special thank you to our dedicated parent helpers who generously give their time and energy to support these events. Your ongoing commitment makes a significant difference, and without your help, these fundraisers simply wouldn’t be possible.

Looking ahead to next term, there will be more fundraising activities coming up, so keep an eye out for ways to get involved and support our school!

Kindergarten 

Four-year-old Kindergarten is becoming Pre-Prep

Four-year-old Kindergarten is gradually transitioning from 15 to 30 hours each week across Victoria. Programs will continue to be play-based and led by a qualified teacher.

Pre-Prep will gradually roll out across the state, beginning in Whittlesea in 2026. The staged schedule allows time to grow the workforce, build the infrastructure, and provide services to prepare for expanded programs. If you would like to know more about this State Government Initiative, please visit the Victorian Government website.

Pre-Prep roll-out

From 2026, between 16 and 25 hours of Pre-Prep will be available statewide to:

• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children
• Children from a refugee or asylum seeker background
• Children who have had contact with Child Protection services
• Children supported by Early Start Kindergarten or Access to Early Learning in their Three-Year-old Kindergarten year.

If you think your child meets one of the eligibility criteria for Pre-Prep, talk to us about what the program may look like for your child in 2026. Hours will vary depending on the kindergarten you choose.

Increasing the hours of play-based learning in the year before school gives children even greater access to the many benefits of early childhood education.
