INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE PRIMARY YEARS PROGRAMME
Tomorrow, 10th May staff will be undertaking an in-depth guide to all aspects of student learning in the context of the Primary Years Programme (PYP) of the International Bacculaureate (IB). An international presenter will lead staff through “Making the PYP happen. A curriculum framework for interna-tional primary education.”
2020 KINDERGARTEN AND PREP ENROLMENTS
It is that time of year when schools are commencing preparation for the following year and student numbers are critical to the school’s staffing structure. For many of you it must seem very early in the year, but for schools it is imperative that we have knowledge of numbers for staffing and other resources. I would ask you to please complete the required Student Admission Enrolment Form if you intend enrolling your child at Burwood Heights Primary School and Kindergarten in 2020. This form is available from the main office or on the school’s website. It can be forwarded by mail if requested.
SECONDARY SCHOOL PLACEMENT – 2020
I know that many parents have visited secondary government and non-government schools already, in prepara-tion for their child/children transitioning to Year Seven in 2020.
The state-wide placement timeline and procedures are as follows for those students wishing to enter a govern-ment school in 2020: -
Information regarding secondary education and Application for Enrolment (Year Seven) forms has been dis-tributed to Year Six students.
These forms are to be returned to Burwood Heights Primary School by Friday 17th May, 2019.
We will then submit all initial placement requests (first preferences) to the secondary school.
We will notify parents of the results of the placements applications, in writing, on 7th August 2019.
Parents/Carers may commence lodging non-placement appeals for secondary schools on 9th August
Orientation Day will be conducted on 11thDecember for Year Six students.
Now in its 20th year, National Walk Safely to School Day
(WSTSD) is an annual event when all Primary School
children will be encouraged to walk to and from school
safely. It is a community event seeking to promote road
safety, health, public transport and the environment.
We encourage parents and carers to walk to and from
school with their primary-aged children on Friday 17th
May. There will also be some teachers walking from
‘walking-stations’ to join in the fun.
If you live too far away from school to walk the whole
way, you could park at least 1km away and walk to
school together.
Feel free to walk with the teachers who will be
positioned around the nearby streets and will be
walking to school at 8:30am.
Students can wait at these walking-stations at
8:30am and wait with their parents/guardians until
the teacher is present.

TALENT SHOW On Friday 3rd May 2019, BHPS held a Talent Show for the weekly House Spirit Com-
petition. We would like to give a big congratulations to all of the participants in the
show. There was a wonderful assortment of dancing, singing, ukulele playing, and
mimicry. We are very lucky at Burwood Heights to have so many students with amazing talent.
CROSS COUNTRY
On Friday 5th April 2019, BHPS held their annual School Cross Country
Competition. The weather was sunny, the grounds were in peak condition
and the students were excited to commence their two-three kilometre run
around the school. The staff would like to congratulate all of the students
on their enthusiasm and perseverance to achieve their very best. Special
mention should be given to all of the parents who helped cheer the
students on and direct the students safely around the course.
Grade Five - Dance Stars Competition
Congratulations to the Grade Five students who competed at the Dance Stars Competition on Sat-
urday 4th May, 2019. All the students confidently performed their own choreography, which many
groups started working on in Term Four last year. Students who achieved first or second in their
section will join our Grade Six finalists to compete in the Dance Stars Grand final on Saturday 15th
June, 2019. A special mention to Angie and Austria for dealing with change only the night before
