iDrive in the Seniors!
iDrive is off and racing in the Senior Learning Unit. Students have chosen something that they are passionate about and are researching, creating, making, exploring, developing.....you name it they're doing it. It is great to see the students being so independent in their own learning.
Walking through the Unit last week, you would have thought that we had a wood workshop happening mixed with music lessons and textiles classes. It truly was buzzing with all theses noises but also the amazing enthusiasm the students have towards their projects.
REMEMBER IT IS ABOUT THE JOURNEY, NOT THE DESTINATION!

District cross country
The weather was superb for the running of the District Cross Country on the Torquay Foreshore last Friday. Bellaire was well represented with 60 students running in the event. As a school we came 3rd overall and had 4 students receive medal honors.
The top 5 runners in each race went through the regional event that will be held at Eastern Gardens, Geelong on Tuesday 28th of May.
Well Done to all that ran, it was a fantastic day to be involved in.

Naplan Complete!
This week all the grade 5's completed the Naplan tests that all year 5's around Australia participated in. First they did language conventions on Tuesday followed by Writing. On Wednesday they completed the Reading test. Thursday was the final test of Mathematics.

Our Morning for 'Education Week' 9am - 10am
Next week is Education Week and Tuesday morning you are invited to visit your child/re's classrooms to help us celebrate in Literacy hour. This is a fantastic opportunity for grandparents and working parents, who can't be a part of our weekly Parent Helper Program, to come along and join in the learning! If you have a spare minute to drop in or can come in for the whole house, come along as our students would love to see you in their home rooms.
Reading Challenges
It is not too late to register for the reading challenge. All you have to do is collect a registration form from the office and get it signed and return as soon as you can.
This is a great opportunity for Senior students especially as reading 5 nights a week is part of their weekly homework. There is an extensive list of books that are recommended on the website that students can borrow from the school library or the local library. They might even discover a new genre or series that they enjoy through taking part in this challenge. Good luck Seniors!
Another opportunity to participate in a reading challenge and win one of two BMX bikes is happening right now. Students need to read for the 30 days of May, fill in the sheet they were provided with by their home group teacher, get it signed by an adult and return it to the office at the end of May.
Best of luck Seniors - let's hope at least one of those bikes go to a student in the SLU.
