Congratulations to the following students who were the end of term 1 award winners:

This week our article is about our AFL footy clinics.

On Friday 6th February the Grade 6 students presented their School Captain speeches. It was an extremely proud moment as they overcame nerves and ‘butterflies’ and presented themselves to the students and teachers from Grade 3 – 6 and parents who were able to attend.

Congratulations to our House Leaders. Staff look forward to working with all student leaders across many areas this year.

The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is now open and we’re excited to be taking part! This year’s Challenge theme is ‘Stories to discover. Stories to tell’. Stories can inspire and challenge us and help us grow. They open our eyes to new worlds and new ways of thinking.

Please find below our 2026 Parent Payment Letter, Parent Payment forms and book packs.

Family Challenge: This week's challenge is to keep a daily journal of all that you did in your day and share it with the family at the end of the week. There are so many things we do in the day and a journal helps us reflect on what the day has brought to us.

We are running our Fruit Tree drive again this year. Axedale school families and wider community members are invited to purchase quality fruit trees direct from the nursery with considerable savings through Valley Trees Nursery.

We were lucky to have Linton Torr on site, carving a platypus and goanna into the tree stump on the deck in the outdoor inclusive space.

We are very excited to share a Wellbeing initiative that we use at school. We are celebrating the successes of student behaviour and expectations.

Thank you to parents / carers who have returned the slip indicating an interest in being part of PVF and which days are most suited for meetings. We have quite a spread of days and times where parents / carers are available, which is fantastic but also a little challenging.
