Our 2020 Prep Transition Morning
Yesterday (21 August), our 2020 Prep children visited the Prep Learning Centre for a special Transition activity with the amazing Prep Team. Our incoming students were thoroughly entertained by our very own Jenny Vawdrey and Pam Collins and, needless to say, had a lovely introduction to Beaumaris North Primary School!

2019 Education Contribution
All compulsory and voluntary contributions should be finalised by Friday 30 August, 2019 unless paying by regular instalments. We are sensitive to parents/guardians who may be experiencing financial difficulties, therefore we are happy to discuss alternatives on an individual basis. To make these arrangements please contact our Business/Finance Manager or Principal in confidence.
Payment can be made by Qkr, EFTPOS or credit card.
Father's Day Stall - 30 August
Our Father’s Day Stall will be held on Friday 30 August. Gifts range from $2.00 to $10 and will be put in a gift bag to take home to Dad, Grandpa, Pop, Pa, Poppy or other special person! Children can come to school with money on the day or you can pay a set price of $15 in advance via Qkr > School Events until 9.30am on Thursday 29 August (particularly useful for avoiding disappointment as we are unable to accommodate IOU’s!).
Please ensure separate Qkr payments are made if you have more than one child! We look forward to seeing the excitement on the children’s faces as they carefully choose the perfect gifts. Thank you, Lisa Ward 0421 609 987.
