Principal Report
Welcome to 2024
Welcome to the first Belmore School Newsletter for 2024. Our newsletter is an important means of connecting with our school community – particularly the parents and carers of our students. Please take the time to read the newsletter and take note of the important information or dates included, reflect on the wonderful programs or activities outlined and take pride in the achievements of our students which are highlighted.
It was lovely to see our students happy to return to school, refreshed and ready to learn after their Christmas holiday break. The first days of our school year are spent settling the students into their new classes, supporting them get to know their teachers, assistants and classmates and introducing them into new programs. The therapy team have been extremely supportive of this process, updating all student profiles and ensuring all students have the correct equipment to best assist them in their classrooms and programs.

We have wonderful staff at Belmore School who are as enthusiastic as I am to ensure that our students have the best programs and learning opportunities we can possibly offer.
Capital Works Program
Our new Learning Centre is nearing completion with finishing touches currently being finalised including the new front entrance. Over the holiday break, demolition of the playground has commenced and as we have returned, the beginnings of the new retaining wall is emerging. Exciting to see this last stage beginning to take shape!
