2025 Education Week
This year, Victoria celebrates Education Week from Monday 19th May to Friday 23th May. Education Week is an annual celebration of public education in Victoria.
The 2025 theme Celebration of Cultures highlights the diversity of our communities and the importance of every child feeling safe and welcome at school.
To celebrate Education Week we will have a picnic and dance party on the oval before lunch this Friday 23rd May. Students will bring their own lunch to the picnic and are invited to bring lunch items that represent their family's culture, if they wish.
Please be reminded that at Beaumaris Primary School we have a number of children who suffer from severe allergies that may result in an anaphylactic reaction. To help minimise the risk for students with severe allergies please stress the importance to your child not to share or swap their food with other children. We ask that parents/carers avoid packing foods that contain known allergens, including nuts.
During the week, teachers will be leading class discussions to celebrate the cultural diversity of our Beaumaris Primary School community using the prompts below. You may wish to prepare your child to share your family's culture by discussing these prompts at home.

The Great Book Swap - Next Week!
Donations still needed! Drop off your donated books to the tub at the school office - thank you!
Next week, 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.
