Grounds Works

We are pleased to share an update on the next stages of our school grounds infrastructure works.

Phase 1 of the project is now underway, with the construction of the new storage shed progressing. This is an important first step in preparing the site for the next stage of works.

Phase 2 is scheduled to commence over the November long weekend with the removal of asbestos from the old canteen. Upon completion of this, we are hopeful that demolition of the old canteen, maintenance shed and existing storage shed will be completed by the end of the year.

These works have been made possible through the outstanding fundraising efforts of our school community and represent an important step towards our broader goal of resurfacing the basketball court and upgrading the shelter shed.

Once these initial works are completed, we look forward to sharing more detailed plans for Phase 3 of the project. We will also provide the community with an update on our fundraising/donation progress and how close we are to reaching the financial target required to bring the next phase of improvements to life.

Thank you to our school community for your continued support and generosity as we work towards these exciting improvements to our school grounds.

Leaving Bell in 2027?

As we begin planning for 2027, accurate enrolment numbers are an important part of determining class structures and staffing for next year.

If your family is planning to leave Bell in 2027, we kindly ask that you contact the school office as soon as possible. Early notification will assist us in making informed decisions about class structures and our staffing profile for next year.

We understand that families may move on for a variety of reasons and greatly appreciate your communication as early as possible. Thank you for supporting us with our planning for 2027.

End of Term Assembly

A reminder to our school community that, as is always the case at the end of each term, we will be holding our End of Term Assembly next Friday at 1:30pm.

We are looking forward to celebrating the end of another busy and eventful term with our students, staff and families. We have some wonderful performances planned, including performances from our Rock Band, Ensemble and Victorian State Schools Spectacular dancers.

Our end-of-term assembly is always a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community, celebrate the achievements of our students and acknowledge the many highlights from the term.
