Literacy Resources
Many of our new literacy resources have arrived! Over 2,500 books for our Prep, Year 1 and Year 2 students have arrived this week and we are in the process of getting these into classrooms. Over $20,000 has been spent so far on new literacy resources. New Year 3 to Year 6 literacy resources have been ordered and we're looking forward to them arriving for our students to use.
Bayside Schools Art Show
To conclude Term 2, students in Years 4, 5 and 6 were invited to exhibit their artworks at Beaumaris Secondary College combined with artworks from Beaumaris North P.S. and Black Rock P.S. for the first ever ‘Bayside Schools Art Show’. The evening had an excellent turnout with hundreds of people in attendance. Many students were thrilled to see their artworks on display, especially after putting so much time and effort into their art throughout the semester. The Prep and Year 1 students were also excited collect their 3D ceramic monsters created by students in Years 7 and 8 at Beaumaris Secondary College. Congratulations to Finn Lord (Year 6) for receiving the Year 6 Art Prize – very well deserved for his self portrait artwork.

Jump Rope for Heart kicks off this term!
Jump Rope for Heart is the Heart Foundation’s primary school skipping challenge that helps kids move more, have fun and raise funds for lifesaving research and programs.
This year we’ve got an audacious goal to see our student Heart Heroes at BPS to log 40 hours of skipping throughout the program!
We are welcoming students from Prep to Year 3 to sign up online and get fundraising! Register your child online, so they can receive the full benefits of the program and participate in online fundraising, simply follow the link below to get started. www.jumprope.org.au/parents
Students will be skipping with their classes during FMS time and at lunch times throughout Term 3. We encourage students to continue their skipping practise at home. During this time, you can share their online fundraising page with family and friends to help raise money for this great cause.
We will hold our school Jump Off Day at the end of Term 3. This will mark the end of
the program and is a chance for everyone to come together to skip and show off their
newly learned skills. We will provide further information about our Jump Off Day closer to
the date.
Please note that all students from Prep to Year 3 will be participating in skipping activities throughout the term weather they are registered or not.
Thank you for supporting the Jump Rope for Heart program!
