Message from Bev and Kim

This will be our final newsletter for this term – well done to all our students and teachers for an outstanding term of learning, production practice and sporting pursuits. Student semester one reports go live next week, you will be notified via Compass. Three Way Conferences will take place Tuesday 23rd July (week 2).

Thank you for your ongoing partnership, it is through our open communication and support for each other that we are able to ensure each child’s needs are being met. The staff at BBPS love what we do, and your thanks and appreciation are warmly received. 

Sporting success @ BBPS

Congratulations to Vivi for her outstanding performance at the Regional Cross Country, where she secured 3rd place. We wish her all the best for the State finals!

Well done to our Girls Interschool Soccer team for winning the district Seaside title. 

Next week, Josh Ancrum will be supporting a team in the Seaside District Girls AFL tournament—good luck, team! Thanks to Pat Malone, supporting as Assistant Coach. 

Leadership success @ BBPS

Grade 6 students have almost completed their action projects, with the term’s learning ending in a junior / senior celebration tomorrow –

Cultural Captains will host a games session with Grade 3-5 while the Gordon Captains lead a P-2 mini Olympics. Students are encouraged to wear their sports uniforms.

It has been wonderful welcoming back several former BBPS student leaders throughout this term, with students returning as part of their Grade 10 work experience, SEDA student placement, and community volunteer programs. We always love the opportunity to reconnect with our students.

School Council met this week, see below for an updated report from the team:

Finance: All finance policies have been updated and ratified and are now available on the school website.

Marketing and Publicity: The Photographing, Filming and Recording Policy has recently been reviewed. See the School Policy section of the newsletter for the updated policy.
