Principal's Report

Thank you to everyone for celebrating Marianne and I last week for Principal's Day. As I said at assembly we are very fortunate to work in an outstanding school with outstanding people and excellent students and community. We both felt very humbled and chuffed to be acknowledged as you did last week and we thank those who organised.

NAPLAN RESULTS

We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you all – our NAPLAN results are in, and they reflect the hard work, dedication, and perseverance of our incredible students and educators. Across the board our results are at or above our similar schools and network schools. Our Year 3 results are to be highlighted with their results showing BPS as the top school in comparison to our similar schools in all 3 areas of Reading, Numeracy and Writing - a huge achievement.

We extend our congratulations to all our students for their remarkable performance in this year's NAPLAN assessments. Your commitment to learning and growth has truly paid off, and we couldn't be prouder!

Behind every student's success stands a dedicated team of educators, parents, and the entire BPS community. Your unwavering support and guidance have played a crucial role in shaping our students' achievements.

As we celebrate these accomplishments, we are inspired to continue fostering an environment of learning, growth, and support for all of our students. Our teachers will continue to investigate these results further to look at future teaching areas.

100 DAYS OF FOUNDATION

What a special milestone reached by all Foundation students, our teachers and families. We acknowledged the day with a celebration of all things 100 and some wonderful Foundation students who had aged slightly! Congratulations to our Foundation super stars, they looked like they had a fabulous day and some very tired children by the end of assembly! 

PINGPONGATHON

Congratulations to Carly for an amazing Pingpongathon last Friday evening. So fantastic to see the wonderful gathering of our community for this event and raising funds for those in need in Cambodia.

PARENT OPINION SURVEY

WE WANT OUR PARENTS TO TELL US WHAT THEY THINK!

Our school is conducting a survey to find out what parents think of our school. The Parent Opinion Survey is an annual survey offered by the Department of Education and Training that is conducted amongst a sample of randomly selected parents. It is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of parents’ perceptions of school climate, student behaviour and student engagement. Our school will use the survey results to help inform and direct future school planning and improvement strategies.

Approximately 30 per cent of parents have received an email to invite them to participate in this year’s survey. All responses to the survey are anonymous. 

The survey will be conducted online, only takes 15-20 minutes to complete, and can be accessed at any convenient time within the period on desktop computers, laptops, tablets or smartphones. 

The survey results will be reported back to the school at the end of September. 

Please speak to your me if you would like more information about the survey.
