During Term 3, the staff at BPS have been recording and sharing their Gratitude Shout Outs. In our staff room, we have an "Our Awesome Students" and "Our Awesome Staff" gratitude wall. On this wall, staff have been recording the 'little' things we see that make us grateful to work at our wonderful school.

These Gratitude Shout Outs are read out at assemblies each fortnight, and we thought it would be nice for our committee to also read them.

These are from our first 8 weeks of shout outs.
