A Message from Hannah & Keir

We would like to acknowledge and honour the Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation as the traditional custodians of the land on which our school stands. We pay our respects to all First Nations elders, past present and emerging.

Whole School Sports Day

Last Wednesday was our annual Whole School Sports Day at the Harold Stevens athletics track in Coburg. Although it was a very wet and cold day, it was also a day filled with excitement, achievement and plenty of school cheer! 

We are always proud to see our students challenging themselves physically, but we know that Sports Days also challenge our students to persist, support their peers and practice positive inner dialogue.

Thank you to Tom Nelson, for planning such a fantastic day for us each year and to the wonderful parents and carers who came out to brave the cold and help with ribbons, field events, first aid, setting up, timing and recording and so much more - our students and whole school community really appreciated your time and efforts!

Public Meeting & Annual Report

Last Thursday was our Annual Public Meeting to share information from our 2022 Annual Report. This report will be shared through the newsletter after our next School Council meeting, where we will elect a new School Council President.

Andrew the Art Teacher

Andrew Lang has been a much loved Art Teacher at BNWPS for many years - extending his teaching talents to audiences beyond our community during lockdown. Throughout the second half of this year, Andrew will be taking 6 months leave from teaching at our school, to start teaching Art privately. While we will miss Andrew in our Art Studio, we wish him the very best of luck in his endeavors and hope his business flourishes! Keep an eye out in the newsletter for information on his replacement.

Autumn Family Day & Plant & Produce

This Friday is Autumn Family Day at BNWPS! We will not have Friday assembly in the afternoon - instead parents, carers and special friends of your family are invited to your child’s classroom to look at work, play games and chat with students and teachers. 

Classrooms will be open from 2:30 - 3:30, with a plant and produce market in the undercover area straight after school. We hope to see you there!
