This year the school was excited to introduce the Daily 5 and CAF series into the junior school.

This system has helped students develop their daily habits of reading, writing and working independently, which in turn will lead to a lifetime of literacy independence.

"Our students always look forward to their literacy sessions and we are very happy that they have embraced this way of learning," grade one/two teacher Brook Clark said.

As well as working extremely well during class time, students have been involved in many different events throughout the year. They have performed exceptionally well in numerous sporting events including swimming, athletics, triathlons, cross-country, football, netball, golf, tennis, basketball and clay target shootings

The results have been outstanding with a number of students reaching Greater Western Region level and in one case a State final.

The students have also enjoyed various excursions and camps including to the Melbourne Grand Prix, AFL football games, IMAX, Melbourne Museum, Holocaust Museum, Circus Oz, theatre productions, sporting clinics, various hikes in the Grampians National Park, Surf Lifesaving camp, sailing camp, Melbourne camp, camping at Lake Bolac, a prep sleepover, just to name a few.

Early in term four the school staged its annual productions, 'Send in the Clowns' and 'Schoolies' a short skit by the senior school. The production was a huge success and a lot of fun with a full house for both shows.

The school was also eager to start the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program this year.

"All the students have enjoyed working in the garden, planting seeds, watching vegetables grow, picking vegetables and cooking with their ingredients," teacher, Rebecca Blackburn said.

" At the start of term four the year five and six class were able to cook a meal with minimal items from the supermarket. In term three we were very happy to share the program with the Skipton Primary School and had a large Mexican fiesta, which all the kids helped to prepare. We are all looking forward to continuing this great program next year."

The upgrade of the kitchen in the gallery area was a major project undertaken by the Parent Club this year. As a result there is now a brand new kitchen with great facilities and this upgrade would not have been possible without the generous donations received from within the community.

"We would like to thank our dedicated staff, school council, parent club members, parents and community members for all their support throughout the year," acting principal, George Porter said.

"Congratulations to all of our students on their achievements during 2014."
