Central Highlands Water 

Thanks to Central Highlands Water (CHW) for inviting our Year 3/4 students to be part of the official launch of the Beaufort Reuse for Recreation Project. The students received free drink bottles and took part in events run by Kelly Sports while the project was being launched by the Minister for Water Hon. Harriet Shin, staff from CHW and Pyrenees Shire Council, and two of our Junior School Council members, Camille and Tyler.

Please ensure all students arrive around 5.45pm so we can get them seated with their class.  Students remain seated with their class for the whole concert. We request that parents do not record or photograph the concert or share these on social media. 

From the Principal

As the year comes to an end, I would like to take the opportunity to thank our students, families and staff for another wonderful year at Beaufort Primary School. We have a lot that we can celebrate and reflect on about the 2024 school year and I want to congratulate all students on everything they have achieved, socially, emotionally and academically. 

At the end of next week, we will farewell Mrs Bray. Mrs Bray joined our team this year and has worked wonderfully in our 1/2 team. We wish her all the best, and am sure we will continue to see her around town and back in the school again soon. 

Booklists, if purchasing through the Beaufort Tatts and News, are due back to school by this Friday. Collection will occur after January 20th. 

School reports are currently being written, and these will be uploaded to XUNO on Friday 20th December. If you would like a hard copy report printed, and you are not already on our list, please inform the office to have your name included. 

Given this is our official final newsletter for the year, I want to with all our wonderful families a happy and safe Christmas, New Year and Summer holiday period. I hope you all get to spend quality time with your friends and family and find some time to relax and enjoy the sunshine.
