Term 4 – Here We Come!

As we begin Term 4 and reflect on what has been achieved thus far for our students, we take much pride in seeing how much our students have grown and developed in their learning. In Term 4 we begin to prepare our students for the following year, but equally as important is celebrating the successes of our students from throughout the year. To finish off the year we have many school and year level events planned, including our primary swimming program, Year 6 and Year 9 Graduations and whole year level end of year celebrations.

Year 4 Camp

Our Year 4 students participated in camp at Golden Valleys Camp from Monday 12 October- Wednesday 14 October. Students and staff had a fantastic time engaging in team building activities such as Low Ropes, Giant Swing, Vertical Climb, Damper making and much more. Thank you to Ms Rodriguez for organising the camp. An extended thank you to the staff members who also attended the camp. 

Year 7 Information evening and Orientation

On Tuesday 6 October we held an information evening for all new and existing families who have a child beginning in Year 7 at Brookside College in 2027. The information evening was held online via Webex and provided our Year 6 students with important information ready for next year. Following on from this meeting, Mrs Gillis, Mr Thompson and Ms Ambelas have conducted transition meetings with our new students joining us in 2027. We are very excited to welcome them to Brookside, beginning with our Orientation Day happening on Tuesday 8 December. 

Prep Information Evening

On Wednesday 14 October we held our Prep information evening. It was amazing to see our future Prep students and their smiling faces ready to join us in 2027. Thank you to Ms Jackson and Mrs Axiak who led the presentation for our families. 

We will be conducting the first of our three transition mornings for upcoming Prep students on Friday 30 October. The morning will provide an opportunity for our Kinder children to experience what is it like to be in a Prep classroom and engage in various Literacy/Numeracy activities.

Parent Teacher Student Conferences

On Thursday 8 October Brookside held our PTSC Conferences. It was a great opportunity for families to come and meet with their child’s teacher to discuss the amazing successes and progress they have made over the past year. It was great to see and hear so many positive conversations happening. We thank all the staff, students and guardians for your participation.

World Teacher’s Day

Friday 30 October marks ‘World Teacher’s Day’. On this day, we acknowledge and celebrate all of our amazing teachers here at Brookside College. We are fortunate to have a wonderful team of passionate and caring teachers who dedicate themselves every day to bringing out the best in every one of our students.

Save This Date – Curriculum Day

Monday 2 November is a Curriculum Day and so it will be a student free day. No students are required to attend school on this day. Kelly Club will be available should any families require their service.

We hope you have a wonderful weekend!
