2023 Reflection

When the 2022 school year commenced, we all rejoiced in the fact that we could come back together as a school, not only for learning, but to celebrate the various events that help us to mark the passing of time and significant milestones within our community. 

We began with our recognition of our Year Six students as leaders of our school and welcomed our 2022 Foundation students and other new families across the school. We also held many other successful events, including our Colour Run and Welcome Family Picnic, Market Day afternoons, Election Day BBQs, Book Week celebrations, lunchtime clubs and participated in an abundance of sporting events, including students representing the school at regional, state level and national level. We also had multiple students enter the Ellen Jose Student Reconciliation Art Awards.

As the year unfolded, students have relished their cross age connections through House events such as Cross Country and through Buddy Programs; or through the myriad of activities and assemblies that bring them together to achieve shared goals. Now, as we come to the end of the year, there is much to look back at with pride – new or restored connections, increased knowledge and skill both within our students and staff, confidence gained and a sense of accomplishment with a clear plan of how we can continue to grow and build the learning environment and sense of community at Black Rock Rock Primary School.

To all the families - thank you for taking the time to invest in your child's education, whether it be asking about their day, reading a book, volunteering at a school event or taking on the role of class representative. Every bit helps to show your child or children that their learning and their school matters and that speaks volumes.

As we head into some time to hopefully slow down and recharge with family and friends, I wish all of our community members a safe and restful break and look forward to seeing our returning students for an exciting 2023! I wish our graduating and leaving students all the very best and look forward to keeping up to date with the next chapter of their lives.
