From the Principal's Desk

Dear Parents,

The end of the term is quickly approaching. It it hard to believe how quickly time is  moving. The last week has continued to be filled with exciting experiences and learning for our students.

Welcome to Country

Last Friday we were so lucky to experience a Smoking Ceremony and Welcome to Country conducted by Wurundjeri Elder, Uncle Perry Wandin. This is such a special ceremony to be part of and to have it conducted in our garden, with our traditional edible garden connection made it even more unique. This would not have been possible without the dedicated, hardworking garden team who sought grants for both the traditional  plants and the ceremony. Special mention to Jo Sharkey, Sarah Nesbitt & the BPC garden team.

Learning Conversations

Thank you for your attendance at the Learning Conversations last night. It is always such a privilege to see and hear our students so confidently share their learning with you. We are very proud of them as we are sure you are.
