A Message from 

Hannah & Keir

“We would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people, the first people to dream, create, wonder, dance, play and learn on this breathtaking land. This land was cared for and respected for tens of thousands of years. The First Nations people lived in companionship with the animals and the life on this land. We acknowledge that this is stolen land and we pay our respects to elders, past, present and emerging.”

School Calendar 

The BNWPS term four school calendar will be handed out in hard copy to all students this week. Term four is already looking like a busy and fun term, with Art Attak, the Spring Magic Market and 2025 Foundation transition just some of the exciting events that will be happening. Hold on to your copy of the calendar and display it somewhere at home for easy reference. As always, the dates and events in the calendar are as correct as we can get them at the time of publishing; any changes will always be communicated through the newsletter. Don’t forget to check out the back of the calendar, as it explains some of our key term four events and includes some key dates for 2025. 

Emails to Keir

Three times this week (and many many weeks across the years!) we have received information that families are misspelling Keir’s name at the start of his email address. Unfortunately this means that the emails end up somewhere in cyberspace, but do not make it to Keir’s inbox.  Keir’s name is spelt with ‘ei’ not ‘ie’  (which definitely goes against rote learned  rules!)  Some families have the misspelling recorded in their email history, which makes it more difficult to change the habit, as it automatically misspells whenever they write an email. Please double check that you are spelling his name correctly; it will make communication much easier!

Term 3 Finishes Friday 20 September 

School will finish at 2.30pm on Friday. We will have an end of term  assembly on the basketball court just before 2.30. We look forward to seeing everyone return to school on Monday 7th  October. Don’t forget that all students should have a sun-smart hat for term four!

We wish everyone a restorative and restful holiday. See you next term!
