Swimming Program begins

This week our swimming program will begin for children in Years Foundation, Year 1 & 2N. A quick reminder to ensure all children are well prepared with bathers, towels and underwear each day of the program - it helps to make the process much smoother. Please also ensure school uniform t-shirts, pants, jumpers and dresses are named in case they fall out of your child’s bag. If named, we have a higher chance of ensuring all children put on the correct uniform. After lessons, children have a very short amount of time to re-dress before coming back to school so please encourage your children to practise drying and clothing themselves quickly after bathing or showering at home.

Dates:

Foundation - Year 1 & 2N: Wednesday 13th November - Tuesday 19th November

Years 2 & 3, 4D & 4S: Monday 25th November - Friday 29th November

Years 5 & 6, 4C, 4TW and 4M: Monday 2nd December –Friday 6th December

Remember: Clean/dry bathers and towel are required each day.

Sporting Success

On Monday 4th November, Trinabh from 6KG was awarded the DNPS Malone Medallion for his outstanding achievements in athletics and district sports. Last week he also competed in the state finals for triple jump and came an incredible 2nd place with his jump on 9.83m.

We congratulate Trinabh on his amazing achievement and wish him the best of luck for lots of future athletic success!

Moving Schools in 2025?

If your child will not be returning to Dandenong North Primary School in 2025, please advise the school office in writing at your earliest convenience. This will help us as we plan for 2025 and ensure we can support a smooth transition to the new school.

Year 4 Incursion—We Will Rock You

On Tuesday, the 29th of October, our Grade 4 students took part in an exciting incursion titled We Will Rock You, where they delved into the fascinating world of weathering and erosion. The session provided a hands-on opportunity for students to explore the formation of rocks and learn about the natural processes that shape our planet.

Students investigated how the Earth's surface has changed over time due to both natural events, such as floods and extreme weather, and human activities. They were able to identify the significant impacts these forces have on landscapes and even explored local areas that have been shaped by erosion. This immersive learning experience has sparked curiosity in our young geologists, who left with a deeper appreciation of the Earth's ever-changing surface!

Setting Up Your Child’s First Smartphone

With so many children having access to smart phones and iPads, this FREE session will help guide parents through how to set up and support your child to use their phone safely and following your clear expectations. Click here for more information. Booking in will give you access to the link.
