Stadium Floor Resurfacing

During the term break, the stadium floor was resurfaced courtesy of the Balwyn Blazers Basketball Club. Each year, the Balwyn Blazers generously fund the floor resurfacing to ensure it remains in good condition for school and after hours use. I thank the club sincerely for this annual gesture.  

 

ANZAC Day Commemorations

On Friday, the school captains will be holding an ANZAC Day commemoration ceremony via the PA system for all students to participate in. This will be held prior to morning recess. The school captains will also be representing the school on Saturday at the dawn service being held at the Kew RSL. During this service, the students will be laying a wreath on behalf of the Greythorn Primary School community. Additionally, the Year 5 students will be attending an ANZAC Day ceremony on Thursday at the Box Hill Gardens, which is being held by the Box Hill RSL.

 

State Swimming Championships

We wish Keanu T (609) and Jessie C (405) all the best as they compete in the State Swimming Championships this Thursday at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC). Keanu is swimming the 50m Backstroke, with Jessie swimming the 50m Breaststroke. It is an incredible achievement for them both to progress to this level of competition and we know they will represent Greythorn with pride and distinction. We look forward to hearing of their achievements. Mrs Deckert will be attending on the day to support them both.
