Principal's Report

Welcome to the latest edition of our fortnightly newsletter.

As Term 1 comes to an end I would like to take the time to wish everyone a safe and relaxed Easter holiday break. The first Term always seems to fly by and this year was no exception. Our Foundation students have successfully completed their first ever school term and settled in wonderfully. Students from across the school have completed an amazing range of curriculum-based, extra-curricular and sporting activities throughout the term.

Easter Parade

What an incredible array of Easter hats were on display at the parade this morning. There were hats of all shapes and sizes, showcasing the incredible talents of the students and parents of Black Rock Primary. 

The "mankey" rabbit tried to outdo the Easter Bunny  which resulted in an "egg off" and  a funky dance competition. 

With great anticipation the students listened to the Raffle prizes. Congratulations to all of our winners and a huge thank-you to everyone who donated prizes, the majority of which will be donated to the "Family Life" charity to support those that are in greater need than ourselves at this time of the year. 

What a terrific way to celebrate the end of Term 1. 

School Council

On Monday 25th March the 2019 School Council was voted in, with new office bearers elected. Congratulations to Steve Martin who has been unanimously elected as School Council President for a two year term.
