A Message from 

Hannah & Keir

“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.”

Lost Property 

As we have mentioned at assemblies over the past week, BNWPS has a monumental pile of Lost Property. We would like to remind all families to make sure that anything (and everything!) that students bring or wear to school should be clearly labeled with their name. At BNWPS we often finish off the term with a huge pile of lost property that we end up donating to local charity shops, or that just ends up in landfill. Every week, our Lost Property team goes through the pile of hats, shoes, lunchboxes and items of clothing, and tries to locate the owner of each item. This is only possible if the items are clearly labeled with the name of the student who bought the item to school. Let’s all work together to aim for a much smaller pile of lost property by the end of term two! 

Reports

In order to fit with our assessment and reporting cycle, our 2024 Semester One  reports will not be published until the beginning of term three. This will mean that as soon as reports are published, families will be able to send through any questions to class teachers and immediately begin working towards goals. If you have any questions about your child’s report when it is published, please contact your child's teacher.   

Foundation 2025

There are many families in our community who have children that will be starting school at BNWPS in 2025. We are now taking enrolments, and would love to chat to families about what their plans are. If this applies to your family, or anyone that you know,  please give our office a call to organise a tour with some of our senior students and a chat with Hannah, Keir or Emma. 

Kinder Story Time 

Every Tuesday at 10am, staff from BNWPS will be offering a story time in the library for any children aged 3-5. Together, we will have fun reading a new book, take part in a fun activity and have time to borrow and return books. We would love to see lots of our community members there!

Cross Country 

This Friday (7th June) we will be having our annual BNWPS Cross Country for all students in years three to six. Remember to dress in your house colours if you can on this day!

Long Weekend 

Just a reminder that next Monday (10th June) is a Public Holiday for the King’s Birthday. Students will not attend school on this day.
