ROCK BOTTOM – BORONIA HEIGHTS PS 2025 PRODUCTION
Our 2025 whole school production ‘Rock Bottom’ is fast approaching. It will be on Wednesday 30th July and Thursday 31st July at the Besen Centre (Mt. Scopus Memorial College, Station St, Burwood).
Please note that all Prep – 4 students will only perform one night. All Prep – 4 siblings should be scheduled for the same night. Please let Mr. Fox know if siblings have been accidentally scheduled on different nights. All Year 5 and 6 students will perform both nights.
Last term, all families with a Prep – 4 student should have received a notice informing them which night their child is performing, the Wednesday or Thursday. If you did not receive this notice, please email Mr Fox at simon.fox@education.vic.gov.au and he will let you know your child’s performance night.
Tickets will be going on sale through Try Booking (online sales only) on Monday 26th May, at 6.00pm. We have scheduled an evening time for tickets to go on sale, so working parents are not disadvantaged. Adult tickets will be $30 and Child Tickets (under 16) will be $20. Please note that student performers do not require a ticket on their performance night. Pop this date in your diaries. Mr. Fox will post a Compass link to the Try Booking site closer to the time.
Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge
The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is now open and Boronia Heights Primary School is excited to be taking part!
The Challenge is open to all Victorian children from birth to Year 10 and aims to help young readers develop a lifelong love of reading.
To take part, children in grade 3 to 6 are encouraged to read 15 books with their parents and carers and those in Prep to grade 2 are encouraged to read 30 books. The challenge ends 5th of September 2025.
After each book your child reads at home, enter the book into the Premier’s Reading Challenge website – https://vprc.eduweb.vic.gov.au/home
Sign in under school coordinator or student – VPRC login – with the username and password provided by your classroom teacher.
Click on search books – search the full title/author – click on the title of the book read – click on add book – complete the review if you would like – click finished.
Go back to the Dashboard and click on finished for all books.
These books will then be verified at school.
Your child’s dashboard provides the number of books read and when the challenge is completed.
Your child will also receive a PRC Reading log, where you may choose to fill in all the books read then you can enter them all in one go, if you prefer.
We encourage students to keep entering books into the website, even after completing the challenge! The class who read the most books right up until September 5th, will win a pizza lunch prize and our top 10 individual readers will also receive a book and PRC badge.
All children who meet the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement.
This year, the Challenge is celebrating its 20th anniversary with the theme ‘20 years of words and wonder’.
Since it began in 2005, more than 4.5 million young readers have taken part and together read more than 63 million books.
