School of the Month Ivanhoe Grammar School is committed to providing a first class learning experience and this is reflected in the contemporary buildings and well maintained grounds.

With three campuses across two locations, Ivanhoe Grammar School provides leading educational opportunities for families in the north of Melbourne.

Open Days The Ridgeway Campus Years 7–12 Telephone: 9490 3426 The Ivanhoe Campus provides a wonderful environment for students from Early Learning to Year 6 at Buckley House and Years 7 to 12 at The Ridgeway Campus. Plenty Campus in Mernda offers students from Prep to Year 12 a warm and welcoming environment.

Recent developments at Ivanhoe Campus include the construction of a state of the art learning hub for students in Years 7 and 8, an interactive adventure playground in the primary area and the extensive redevelopment of the Locksley building which will be transformed into a light-filled, dynamic space for the Creative Arts. Plenty Campus has enjoyed the development of an innovative Primary Playground that encourages exciting and challenging play, refurbished primary classrooms, new full size cricket/AFL oval and is looking forward to the construction of a new Senior Years Centre this year.

The School is always working towards providing the best possible facilities to enhance students’ learning and experiences and runs several Campus tour opportunities throughout the year.

Editors Noticeboard Dear Reader Well the ‘back to school’ stresses are done and dusted for another year, I hope all went smoothly for you and your children. This year I sent off my beautiful twin children to Prep and surprisingly so far, there have been no hiccups. I am so thankful that they both look forward to going to school every morning and are so eager to learn.

With your children at school, there couldn’t be a better time to take a breather and put your feet up with a cuppa and have a relaxing read through our magazine.

We have prepared some fantastic articles including Why should I send my child outdoors? (p 8–9), Do you have a Mummy Tummy? (p 12) and Healing and Preventing Tooth Cavities the Natural Way (p 16), plus lots more!

This month you can win a Kitten Sleepy Story CD thanks to Dinosnores. The CD is a bedtime story and soundscape which takes children on an imaginative journey and helps them settle to sleep at night. Turn to our Kids Corner on page 28 for more details.

Don’t forget to ‘Like’ us on Facebook, with regular updates on what’s happening in and around Banyule and Nillumbik it’s the perfect way to keep informed. Our what’s on in Banyule & Nillumbik page can be found both in our magazine and website. If you have a community event or activity you can list it in our magazine. For more information and to check out what’s on in our fabulous community, turn to page 29.

Please remember to support your local business community and shop locally.

We hope you enjoy this issue. Until next time...
