On the evening of Monday 30th November we hosted our annual children’s Christmas party. This year we combined the party with a presentation to one of our graduating students.
Our graduate and his family arrived at school in spectacular style aboard a big red fire engine to be greeted by around 150 guests. Following the speeches from our Principal, Ian and class teacher, Claire, our graduate was presented with some mementos of his time here at MOSS.
After the graduation, our students and their families all took their seats for the ‘End of Year’ Power Point presentation to look back at some of the achievements of our students in their individual and group programs during 2009. This was followed by a very cheery Christmas video performance from our students in C block.
Finally, after some Christmas carols from our music teacher, Biddy, Santa and his assistant (appropriately named Holly) made their appearance with some presents for each of our students. It was a big night but a great celebration and it was wonderful to see so many students and their families in attendance.
 
The fire engine, known as the ‘Hire Engine’ was very generously donated by Kimberley and Michael Pearce. It is available for hire for formals, weddings, children’s parties etc. Kimberley can be contacted on 0430 486 711. Thank you to Kimberley and Michael for their contribution to an unforgetable evening for our graduating student and his family!

Well, no-one could possibly say that our new Resource Centre looks like anything other than a building now. It is starting to look quite imposing, as it 'hovers' on its rise over the lower part of the school.
While it's quite obvious that the construction of the external walls is now finished, we have only had a couple of tantalising glimpses as to what's been going on inside.
Again, thanks to the willingness of one of the construction team, we have a photo of the internal layout to share with you. The walls are recognisable as 'walls' and the ceilings are also up. Word is that the first coat of internal paint has also been applied.
The view seen below is from the Resource Collection Storage Area, looking back towards the Multi-Media and Seminar rooms.
We have recently had quite a few meetings to decide what will go into these spaces...can we afford a compactus? What about an interactive whiteboard? How many desks and chairs will we need? Do we want boxes, trolleys or shelves as book display units? Should we have a built in printing bench/work area or will we have a big table?
There are lots of decisions to be made, so that we fit the building out appropriately for our MOSS and ECDP students, for now and for the years ahead...all within budget of course! As always, keep watching this space.
