The students eased into the new year by playing games and testing out the new play and exercise equipment that has been installed around the campus grounds. ...

Meet Olivia, she graduated from Cire Community School in 2022 and is now working at @harrowandharvestcafe in Lilydale. Olivia completed a Certificate III in Community Services and Food Safety at the Cire Mt Evelyn Campus and said it prepared her to apply for jobs after completing school. We asked what she enjoyed most about her experience at school, and she said the freedom of learning, supportive teachers, and Cire doesn't treat students like a number. Olivia has worked at Harrow and Harvest in Lilydale since graduating and is thriving in her new environment. Harrow and Harvest is about enriching the community not only with delicious, healthy food but with supporting local female artists and employing locals to do local work. Be sure to check it out next time you're in Lilydale! ...

At Cire Services, we prioritize the safety of not only our passengers but also the community at large. To ensure that our fleet of buses meets all safety regulations, mandatory annual inspections are carried out. Road Safety Inspections Pty Ltd, a licensed bus tester, conducts the test. It involves carefully placing each bus onto a shaker, which tests the brakes before examining for rattles or irregularities. To reinforce our commitment to passenger safety, we have chosen to go beyond the annual inspection process and teamed up with Spot On Diesel Services to provide three monthly vehicle safety inspections as well. This means that Cire Services buses are maintained to the highest standards, giving everyone greater peace of mind when travelling with us. #ConnectWithCire #CireBusFleet #BusSafety ...

Cire's annual Christmas decorating competition was back and in full swing this last month. The displays were so good that we decided to rank them first, second and third. We based our decision on the following factors: student and child-led displays, creativity and spirit, and recycling initiatives. 📣🥁And the winners for 2022 are... 🏆Berwick @Community School in 1st place! Students welcomed the "judging panel" which included members from the Cire executive, safety, facilities and head office teams, by lining the halls with Christmas Carols playing over the speaker system. 🏆Second place was Cire Early Learning Long Daycare in Yarra Junction 🏆Third place was Cire Early Learning Kindergarten in Chirnside Park Thank you to everyone who got involved. The decorations have brought so much joy to the Cire community. We look forward to continuing this tradition in the future. ...

Cire Service's board and executive teams recently launched its first-ever "Voices of Young People" tour. The team set out to meet with student representatives at each campus to seek feedback on their experience at school. The feedback was raw and honest, and we are incredibly proud of the student's participation. Each group openly discussed the aspects of school they enjoy and suggested what would help further engage them with their education. It was particularly notable that many discussed academic pursuits within and beyond Cire. Many of our students have experienced adversities in their young lives, and witnessing them meet with an executive team with such confidence was truly rewarding to experience. We are dedicated to ensuring students' needs are attended to, and we look forward to continuing this important initiative into the future. ...

What better way to end the year than a trip to @funfields ? Cire's Lilydale campus ventured out to Whittlesea for a bit of fun during activities week. With everyone eager to jump on the water slides and rides, it was hard to figure out who was having more fun, the staff or the students 🤔 Thanks to all students for their commitment and growth over the year. We are incredibly proud of their resilience, particularly over the last few months. Wishing you all a safe and wonderful break. ...

Last week, 24 VCAL students and 5 staff from Cire Community School's Yarra Junction campus headed to chilly Sovereign Hill at Ballarat for a 3-day school camp. They were relieved to find their accommodation was toasty warm with the bonus of being inside the grounds of Sovereign Hill. The students and staff enjoyed a lovely balance of free time to explore all that the place has to offer as well as structured activities, including a confectionary-making demonstration which allowed the students to see how traditional hard-boiled sweets were made. The taste testing at the end was popular. The confectionary store was a huge hit with a number of students, with so many different delicious flavours to choose from! On the second day, they had the opportunity to ride a mine carriage 20 metres underground and learn the story of the Creswick mine disaster in the late 1800s. The experience included a realistic guided mine tour with projections and audio. On their final night, they were enthralled by the spectacular Aura sound and light show. The show consisted of three different experiences - a 3D cinematic experience that explored the creation of gold, as part of the Big Bang Theory, the experience was a light projection onto a lake that told the indigenous histories of the local land. It concluded in a sound and light extravaganza which told the history of the Victorian gold rush through projections onto canvas and live fire, light and sound. Staff and students report that the camp was an absolute blast. Connections were formed, and memories were made! The students were so respectful and appreciative of the opportunities presented, and they cannot wait for their next adventure! #ConnectWithCire #CirCommunitySchool #CireStudents #CireSchoolCamp #SovereignHill #SovereignHillBallarat ...

Hi, I'm Matt; as the Fleet Coordinator for Cire buses, I oversee a fleet of 16 buses and 20 casual drivers. We transport to and from 3 of the Cire Campuses daily, traveling a combined distance of over 1200 km. Our bus routes cover a wide area, from Reefton to Croydon and all the way to Cockatoo, to name a few. In addition to transporting students to and from school each day, we also provide transportation for the Cire Early Learning Outside School Hours Care and Vacation Care programs. My role is to ensure that our vehicles are well-maintained and that our drivers are appropriately trained and licensed. I work closely with the school to ensure our buses operate on schedule. I take great pride in overseeing the Cire bus fleet. Working together as a team can provide a safe and reliable transportation service for our students.

A wet, wild & woolly Melbourne spring day did nothing to dampen the spirits of our year 5 and 6 students as they toured the @foreverfriendsrescue in Yarra Junction. At the invitation of our incredible senior students who volunteer each week, the class embarked on a wonderful day of becoming acquainted with furry and feathery friends. They cannot wait to return next week so that we can undertake some vital cleaning, patting, and walking duties! Thank you to Forever Friends Animal Rescue for being so accommodating and empowering the students to learn new skills and responsibilities. ...
