Assistant Principal's Message
It has been a very busy couple of weeks at BPS.
The students have been very engaged in their learning and are completing assessments in preparation for school reporting.
Years 3 - 6 had the opportunity to listen to Ella Jones. Ella is a Paralympian who represented Australia at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games in swimming. She shared her story, the challenges she has faced and how she overcame barriers to become the successful sportswoman she is.
K-2 were very fortunate to be entertained by Lucas Proudfoot. Lucas is an author, storyteller and musician. He has appeared regularly on Play School and all students thoroughly enjoyed his workshop.
Our wonderful 2025 Kindergarten students had another successful transition session today. They learnt about 5L’s and constructed brightly coloured rockets. Mrs Franklin and Mrs Coggan were very impressed by their manners, cutting and pasting skills and their name writing. The next Kindergarten Orientation will be held on Friday, 22nd November from 9.30am – 12.30pm.
