A Message from Keir and Emma

“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 Council 

We are very pleased to announce that the following members of our community were successful in their nomination to become a member of our School Council;

• Tess Alston
• Alice Beattie
• Ann Brennan 
• Jack Furphy
• Aleesha Harrison-Grace
• Kate Jones
• Fiona Page

We were very lucky that the number of nominations matched the number of vacancies, and that we were not required to hold an election.

Those seven members of our community join the existing parent and staff members on School Council; 

• Karri Hedge
• Ange Hopkins
• Jesse Hughes 
• Keir Jasper 
• Emma Mallia
• Faiza Usman 
• Jess Windridge 

You will have an opportunity to ‘meet’ all of these members in future newsletters. 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our outgoing members of the council for your dedication to BNWPS, its students and its programs. Your work and commitment was greatly appreciated; 

• Bilal Khan 
• Bernadetta Martella
• Ranjodh Singh
• Sara Webster
