There will be a 6-7 minute presentation at our assembly on 21 September (9-10.15am) where we will tell the school about our experiences on the snow.  We will have a digital presentation (available for snow trip families early in Term 4) as well as four student speakers.  Parents are welcome to join us at the assembly.

We are asking if any students who do not wish to keep their orange bibs would mind returning them to Ms Morris for use on the next snow trip.  Thank you to those who have already done this!

Hopefully all of our Snow Trippers have caught up on some well deserved rest over the weekend and had some time to share all their experiences and photos with family and friends.  It certainly was a terrific week and by all accounts, a successful trip! All of this would not have been possible without the commitment, dedication and efforts of a lot of people so here's to hoping we get them all: To all the families that supported their child in attending the trip.  You generously offered your time, money and support to get your child on the slopes and for some, this was a tremendous commitment!  You prepared your children well with everything they needed to bring and encouraged them to step out of their comfort zone and challenge themselves.  A big thank you also for your positive approach to our maiden journey and for getting all your forms and payments in on time. To the trip parents - Justin, Liz, Simon, Coral, Dean, Lisa and Jason.  Your positivity, endless smiles and enc

Bright sunshine and a beautiful mountain line greeted us this morning and we casually emerged from our rooms.  With a morning of packing, cleaning and tobogganing ahead of our return bus ride, everyone was both disappointed to be leaving the snow and excited to get home at the same time.  It was a terrific group effort to get the two lodges in tip top condition before we headed off to the Snow Park to hit the toboggans.  If we hadn't thrown enough snow balls or built enough snow men over the week, everyone made up for it this morning!  A terrific morning to have a play in  the snow.  A quick rental return and speedy taxi to our coach.  We are on our way home and super excited to see our families and friends and tell them all about our week's adventures. A big thank you to all those who have been keeping track of our progress throughout the week.  It has been wonderful to see all the hits on the blogsite.  Hopefully you have enjoyed the photos (the last of them will be goi

2.30pm - Just to let you know, a very excited and justifiably tired group has just left Mansfield.  We anticipate one planned stop on the way home but will touch base again when we are about an hour away. We are all looking forward to sharing all our adventures with you all when we get back!

White, white, white!  The colour that surrounded us since we woke up in the morning.  The mountain view that has greeted us each morning since we arrived was nowhere in site.  We were in the clouds and remained there all day.  After breakfast we all waited eagerly to see what lifts would open and which were on 'wind hold' before deciding that a free ski before our lessons might not be a great idea.  We hit the slopes on lesson time and were amazed at the low  visibility  that surrounded us.  It was like we were in the middle of a cloud!  With some lifts on hold and winds blowing strongly in certain areas, our groups were restricted to certain parts of the mountain, but as always, this didn't effect the Buninyong spirit!  The skiers were able to hit a few new slopes on the southern side (Wombat and Little Buller Spur) to practice their  parallel  turns and the boarders practice a few new trick and board control activities.  I must say that it was pretty  surreal  travellin
