News From SNC Term 4

Hello parents and carers, 

Its getting to the busy end of the year in Su Nei Cieli and there are lots of exciting events coming up soon. 

The Su Nei Cieli Camp leaves for Portsea on Wednesday 2nd December. Camp payment is now due to be finalised. The total cost of the camp is $320. With the deposit of $ 50, most families with outstanding payments will owe $270. If you have any questions about the finalisation of this payment that might be still outstanding, check in with the office staff or teachers.   

To get us ready for the camp, students have had a Learning Community meeting to discuss events. Students should be coming home with a copy of the camp schedule and timetable today which will share what we will be doing at Portsea this year. A reminder that students must have a hat the meets all SunSmart requirements with them on camp, or they will not be able to participate in activities, which are based in the lovely outdoors.

The Science inquiry is coming to fruition. The students have been investigating many areas of science which they will be sharing with their learning community this coming Wednesday 25th November. This celebration is open to visitors, and we would welcome any family to join us to celebrate and learn from each other about our inquiries. 

From 9am-10.45am
The Paper Plane projects will fly their designs in the hall, then
The Floating Garden Projects will float their gardens in the Merri Creek near the velodrome and behind the Onion Dome Church. 

From 11.30- 1.30am 
The Bridge Building Bonanza will test their bridges in the Learning Community, then
The Wind Power groups will see how big a load their wind turbines can move. 

From 2.30pm
The shadow workshop will show us their investigations into light and shade in the Learning Community. 

With Graduation for our grade sixes fast approaching, the working teams are furiously finalising plans for their food, decorations, speeches, and films. 
The Film Groups want to remind families that photos of our year 6s in their early years need to be brought in to share, so we can add them in the film. 
Photos can be brought as a soft copy, on a memory stick or emailed directly to Stephen Tyas, the teacher mentoring the film working team. 

The Grade Six Friday market in full swing ! 

Early next week, students will send home the invitations to graduation as well. Family members (up to a maximum of four) are invited to attend, and an RSVP is required, due to the limited capacity of the hall. If your family would like to request extra places for more than this, RSVP early. If we have any familes using less than this allocation, the seats will be reallocated on a first come, first serve basis. 





We hope to see you in the near future at one of these exciting events, 

Thanks, 




On behalf of the Su Nei Cieli Teaching Team
