Prep’s and their buddies got together today to make a sea of Indigenous flags to commemorate the beginning of Reconciliation Week. The children listened to Indigenous stories RESPECT and Welcome to Country which were read by Grade 6 students, Koby and Billie.

Check out some of The Preps’ handwriting and drawings inspired by the story Finding our Heart. So proud of their efforts!

A reminder to wear your Indigenous Colours tomorrow! ☺️

The Children’s International Film Festival returns to cinemas from June 6 – July 5. CHIFF screens at Classic Cinemas in Elsternwick, Lido Cinemas in Hawthorn and CAMEO CINEMAS in Belgrave.

CHIFF is an exciting opportunity for kids to access diverse and interesting age-appropriate films in a festival context. Many films in the program come from acclaimed international festivals, and usually don’t get a general cinema release, so CHIFF is the only opportunity to watch these great stories.

Highlights of the program include the Oscar-nominated animation Little Amelie or the Character of Rain (ages 10+), a moving Brazilian animation with no dialogue, Papaya (ages 5+), live-action adventure in Momo (ages 8+), based on Michael Ende’s The Neverending Story, and Pol the Pirate Mouse (ages 4+), a selection of TV episodes for preschoolers.

CHIFF screens each weekend from June 6, and then the first week of school holidays from June 29 – July 5.

Today our 5/6s learnt how to be safe online and how to protect their personal information. 💻🔒

Who knew that the word ‘password’ was the most used password last year? 😳

We were introduced to a website that tells us how strong our passwords are. Check out https://www.security.org/how-secure-is-my-password/

We also learnt about the symbols next to a website URL and what they mean. Students discovered that websites starting with https:// (with the s standing for secure) help keep information safer online. 🔐

A great reminder for all of us to think carefully before sharing personal information online!
