Our 50 Year Celebration

playgroup
Welcome back to the centre for term 4.
Today along with 125 staff, volunteers and
special guests I had the pleasure of attending
the Launch of our 50th Year History Book.
This special day marked the end of 18 months of
vision, dedication and passion by author Dianne
Filepenko and our wonderful 50th year Subcommittee headed up by Bill Nixon OAM, Norma
Gibson, Shirley Oddy, Eleanor Hewitt and Carol
French. We are all very proud of this book and the
story it tells of our unique and important history
and I sincerely congratulate Dianne and the
sub-committee for this wonderful achievement.
Our Book is available for sale and well worth a
read! Pick one up for $20 from the office.
Term 4 promises to be a very busy one at the centre
with dance concerts, presentation days and end of
year celebrations across most of our activities.
Term 4 is also the time for us to be planning for
our 2015 programs and we hope to have this
ready by week 8 just in time for the enrolment
period to commence. The enrolment process for
next year will begin on Monday November 24th.
Enrolment forms will not be sent home so it is
important that you take note of the information
around the centre leading up to this time.
Remember that the majority of our classes are full
with waiting lists so if you forget to re-enrol you
do risk losing your spot in your chosen class.
Parents please remember that it is very important
that all children under 12 are escorted into the
centre before classes and picked up from inside the
centre when their class is finished. Children should
not be navigating the car park without parental
supervision. Please also ensure that if you are going
to be running late to collect your child that you phone
the office as soon as possible. Teachers/ instructors
generally go from one class to the next without a
break and cannot supervise children that have not
been collected on time. In order for the office staff
to ensure the safety of your children it is important
that we are advised when you are going to be late.

TIMETABLE 2015
We are currently working on the timetable for 2015 and will be releasing
it ASAP. The timetable will be released with your enrolment forms and will
also be accompanied by a slip of paper detailing which classes you should
enrol into in 2015. This is a recommendation made by your current teacher
based on ability, age and friendship groups. If the recommended class is
not at a suitable time then please contact me to discuss other options.
This is a very busy and exciting time of year! Please make sure you are
attending all your classes and are well prepared for the dance concert. I am
sure that this year’s show will be another fantastic one and I hope you enjoy the
preparation this term. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact me.
Nicole Kelly, Dance Co-Ordinator
To celebrate the end of term 3 Mordialloc Dance Studio booked
out Kidspace for the night! 80 kids and their parents attended our
term 3 fundraiser and had a fantastic time, climbing, jumping and
sliding on the indoor playground. It was hard to tell who was having
more fun, the students or their teachers! Thank you to everyone
who supported our fundraiser and helped out on the night.
We have just completed our final eisteddfod for the year and all of
our girls have performed exceptionally well. Throughout this year our
groups have improved out of sight and we have proven ourselves to be
a competitive school. I am so proud of all of our competition students,
not only for their excellent performances but also for the positive
way in which they have conducted themselves. We have had a lot of
fun at competitions this year and look forward to next year when I’m
sure we will continue to get better and better. A big thank you must
go to all of our competition teachers for their hard work in classes
and for supporting the girls at competitions throughout the year.

Welcome back to term 4 and another busy term in the gym. Over
the last few weeks we have had some changes to our coaching team
and as a result have seen some minor disruption to some classes.
Thankyou to all families for your understanding and patience during
this time. Our coaches for term 4 are:
Karen Billing Coordinator, Scott McHarry, Mikayla Harvison,
Stephanie Placzek, Zoe Woebeken, Anastasia Michael,
Gayle West, Hannah Harvison and Lucas King.
Please note that due to the structure of our new gym we are unable
to have a formal end of year display in the same format that we have
done in the past. Parents of all Beginners children will be invited to a
final Christmas themed class which will be held on Monday 16th
December at 4.30pm to 5.30pm. More details will follow shortly.
As the weather starts to warm up please remember to
bring a drink bottle with you to all classes.
Please note that we do not cancel classes in extreme heat. We will
however modify class activities and ensure that children
are well hydrated. If you chose to keep your child at home on
days of extreme heat you will not be entitled to a refund.
Congratulations to Ruby Douce Level 1 squad for being
invited to train at the Prahran High Performance Centre.
Well done Ruby and we wish you all the best!
