FAREWELL
KIEDO BULL Kiedo shared the sad news for us that he has recently resigned from his position as a classroom teacher at our school, as he has decided to move closer to his wider family in NSW. This is exciting news for Kiedo and his young family. We, therefore, wish Kiedo well for the move north and thank him for his work, care, and dedication to his students, AVPS, and role as a classroom teacher throughout the 2022 school year and Term 1 in 2023. |

MICHELLE RANGOTT
We are fortunate to have found a very suitable replacement for Kiedo, Ms Michelle Rangott, who will be joining us on the first day of term 2 for students, Wednesday 26th April 2023, following a merit based seletion process. She will be moving from another school to start in Unit 4B. We are confident that Michelle's experience, knowledge, and passion for teaching will make her a valuable addition to the Ascot Vale PS team. Kiedo and Michelle will have time together later this term to ensure a smooth transition. Please join me in welcoming Michelle to our school community. We look forward to working with her and supporting her in her new role. Opportunities will be provided for parents and carers to meet Michelle early in term 2 and we are hopeful that Michelle can visit students before the holidays begin. |

Swapna has joined AVPS as an Integration Aide, following a merit-based selection process.

NIHONGO NEWS - 24th March 2023
This week, to coincide with Harmony Week, students from Unit 4B and Unit 6 learnt about the Hiroshima Peace Park and the Children’s Peace Monument and made Origami Hearts with the kanji symbols that mean peace and harmony 平和 (heiwa). They learnt about the Sadako Sasaki who was diagnosed with leukemia due to radiation from the atomic bomb and how she persisted to fold one thousand paper cranes before her passing. The Children’s Peace Monument was created as a tribute to Sadako and all the children who passed away from the atomic bomb. People from all over the world send in their strings of paper cranes to the Peace Park to promote peace all around the world. |

MVIMP NEWS - 24th March 2023
We are very excited about our MVIMP numbers this year. We have 72 students enrolled in the program which is a jump of 20 students from 2022! Hopefully that means 72 children practising at home and 72 students enjoying themselves. Thanks for your patience this term, we have had a few disruptions with tutor illness and an absence due to jury duty. Hopefully term 2 will be smooth sailing. Thanks, one and all for returning your contracts, excellent effort. Take a look at Jasmine, Hazel and Sophie who are enjoying a strings lesson with Les. I think they look very professional. Amanda McClure, MVIMP Liaison Teacher |

Hi AVPS Community.
Congratulations to all of our recently elected Environmental Team members. The environmental team had our first meeting of 2023 yesterday and have some exciting news to share. This Friday, we are bringing back “Nude food Fridays” at our school. This means that students are encouraged to bring food to school in their lunch boxes without any unnecessary packaging such as extra plastic bags, wrappings or cling wraps, chip packets or paper bags. We encourage you to pack snacks and lunches in durable, reusable containers to reduce waste and help the environment. Additionally, this Saturday 25th March is Earth Hour. This is an annual event that encourages individuals, communities, and businesses to turn off non-essential electric lights, for one hour, from 8:30-9:30. On Monday 27th March, AVPS will be participating in Earth Hour by switching off technology and lights for one hour during the school day. Keep it green, Bella and The Environmental Team. |
