Bounce Into Baxter - Foundation 2027 Transition

On Thursday 29th October we will be holding our fourth 'Bounce into Baxter' session. We have a wonderful group of Foundation students for 2027 with 2 full classes. They are transitioning into the school extremely well and we can’t wait for them to begin, next year.

We acknowledge the Bunurong people, the Traditional 

Owners of the land on which Baxter Primary School resides, and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
