Mother's and Special Person's Day at BPS

Hampton East School Braking Beans Coffee Cart will be onsite during school drop off time on Friday. Enjoy!

Japanese Day

Next week, on Tuesday 13th May, our school will celebrate Japanese Day. This is a special highlight of the school calendar each year and the students will spend the day immersing themselves in Japanese culture and activities whilst further expanding their Japanese language skills. This is a whole school event, involving students from Prep through to Year 6. 

A range of activities will be taking place across the school, including Japanese calligraphy (Shodo), a Japanese puppet show performance, Japanese sports (Undokai) and Japanese item wrapping workshops (Furoshiki).

Students are invited to come to school dressed up, taking inspiration from something related to Japan.  They may like to take inspiration from traditional Japanese costume, the colours of the Japanese flag, Pokémon or other Japanese characters, etc. Please note; please ensure no chopstick accessories, ninja swords, masks or head coverings are included in costumes. 

We will be holding a special Japanese Day assembly which parents/carers are warmly invited to attend.  This will begin at 9:15am. 

The Great Book Swap

As part of Reconciliation Week, Beaumaris Primary School is proud to be hosting The Great Book Swap to support the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.

This wonderful event celebrates the power of reading while raising funds to help provide books and literacy resources to children in remote Indigenous communities.

Our Great Book Swap will be held on Thursday the 29th of May, during school hours.

Here’s how you can get involved:

• Donate a pre-loved book – Drop off your gently used books at the tub in the school office before the event.
• Make a gold coin donation – On the day of the swap, students will be able to choose a book to take home in exchange for a gold coin donation.

Together, we can share the joy of reading and make a meaningful difference.

Thank you for your support in fostering reconciliation and promoting literacy for all.

Volunteering at BPS

Beaumaris Primary School highly values our community and the support we receive from parents and carers in many different aspects of school life. We welcome the opportunity for parents and carers to volunteer within our school across a range of different school-based activities.

In previous years, we have held information sessions to provide volunteers with the required information in order to volunteer. This year, we have created a digital Volunteer Handbook and an online induction process to ensure that the information is accessible to parents/carers at a time that suits them.

If you would like to volunteer at Beaumaris Primary School, the process will now be:

• Read the below BPS Volunteer Handbook, which includes the below policies and documents:
  • BPS Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy
  • BPS Child Safety Code of Conduct Policy
  • BPS Child Safety Responding and Reporting Policy
  • BPS Volunteers Policy

  • BPS Volunteer Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Induction Handbook.

     

• Complete this online form, which includes both the Volunteer OHS Induction Checklist and the Volunteering at Beaumaris Primary School Questionnaire (https://forms.office.com/r/X1JfFrAPsa).

   

• Email a scanned copy or provide in person for photocopying a valid Working with Children Check (WWCC) card to the office staff.

The above process will need to be completed prior to volunteering at Beaumaris Primary School. This process can be completed at any stage throughout the year, at a time that suits you.

We thank you for your interest in volunteering and supporting our students, staff and school community.
