Chewton Primary School is situated on Djaara Country.
We acknowledge the Dja Dja Wurrung people, the custodians and caretakers of the land. We thank them for the care they have taken and continue to take of Country: the rivers, mountains, trees and animals. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging.
We commit to Be Brave and Make Change.

A big thanks to all the parents who helped paint the art room: Kate, Scott, Heather, Shu, Bethia, Kaori. Special thanks to Kate for being patient and working in all the classrooms over the past 12 months with such panache. The Art space looks lovely and fresh and has so much space!
We have 30 responses so far from parents and carers. It would be great to get another 30! It's not too late to fill out the survey. Look in Sentral for the link.
A new permission slip for sharing photographs will be sent home this week so that we can easily sort photos to share on newsletters, website, social media or not at all!
