Principal's Message

Our students have been working hard across various curriculum areas and are currently completing assessments that reflect the impressive learning they have achieved. These assessments will help inform the upcoming report process that our teachers will soon begin.

To celebrate their success, we will continue recognising students at the whole-school assembly with our Values Certificates. Please continue to come along to our cohort and whole school assembly. 

Lunch with the principal 

This group of students chose to have lunch with me to celebrate their impressive progress in managing their timetables. It was a pleasure to hear about their achievements and discuss their learning journey. These students continue to show dedication and growth, and it was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate their success together.

Student Leadership 2025

Our student leadership selection process is underway, and it’s an exciting time for our students. They have been writing letters to express their interest in taking on a leadership role for the upcoming year. This process gives them the opportunity to reflect on their aspirations and achievements over the years at BPS, as they consider how they can contribute to the school community in a leadership capacity.

School Fete

We are excited to announce that our 3/4 and Year 5/6 students are hard at work organising a school fete! They have some amazing stalls planned, and we’re looking forward to hosting a community event like this at the school. We hope you’ll join us!

Term 4 Lunch Time Clubs 

Students have been heavy invovled in the lego, Arts and craft club this week.

These  provide our students with opportunities to explore their interests, develop new skills, and build friendships outside the classroom. They also foster a sense of belonging and teamwork, helping students enhance their social and emotional development.

Enrolments are still open for 2025

For those children attending 4-year old kindergarten who will go to school next year, you must enrol at the school. This does not happen automatically. Please come to the office and enrol.
