Update from Mrs McManus in Environmental Science
Our younger students in Prep and Year 1 have been having lots of fun learning about worms and how they help us in the garden, learning what they like to eat and doing worm dances, and they are very excited to be making sock worm puppets next week.
We would love it if you are able to donate a pair of old/worn/used but clean socks for this activity, which your child could bring to the Environmental Science room where there is a tub labelled "Socks".
Last Tuesday, our Environmental Science leaders attended a Ceres Student Leadership Conference. They learnt about our environment and sustainable practices, and planned a future event for our school. Jake, Edie and Ava impressed conference coordinators and our school ranked first in the audit activity assessing school sustainable practices. Great outcome!

Volunteering at BPS
Beaumaris Primary School highly values our community and the support we receive from parents and carers in many different aspects of school life. We welcome the opportunity for parents and carers to volunteer within our school across a range of different school-based activities.
In previous years, we have held information sessions to provide volunteers with the required information in order to volunteer. This year, we have created a digital Volunteer Handbook and an online induction process to ensure that the information is accessible to parents/carers at a time that suits them.
If you would like to volunteer at Beaumaris Primary School, the process will now be:
- Read the below BPS Volunteer Handbook, which includes the below policies and documents:
- BPS Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy
- BPS Child Safety Code of Conduct Policy
- BPS Child Safety Responding and Reporting Policy
- BPS Volunteers Policy
BPS Volunteer Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Induction Handbook.
Complete this online form, which includes both the Volunteer OHS Induction Checklist and the Volunteering at Beaumaris Primary School Questionnaire (https://forms.office.com/r/X1JfFrAPsa).
- Email a scanned copy or provide in person for photocopying a valid Working with Children Check (WWCC) card to the office staff.
The above process will need to be completed prior to volunteering at Beaumaris Primary School. This process can be completed at any stage throughout the year, at a time that suits you.
We thank you for your interest in volunteering and supporting our students, staff and school community.
