Principal’s Report

A huge thank you to our community in regard to our non-operational day

last week. It is so reassuring to know how well supported our school is in

making decisions to keep our students, school and community safe in

such extraordinary circumstances. Hoping for rain to assist all our

communities still experiencing such devastation. Please still be vigilant on

Bush fire safety. Have a PLAN!

Planning 2020 - As the end of the year approaches we are planning for

next year so it would be appreciated if you have any change in your

child’s enrolment or know of new enrolments for our great school please

let me know. Planning of classes, staffing and school funding is totally

relied on number of students and this allows us to be well prepared from

day one of 2020. All classes will not be set until we have final numbers.

Interrelate Sessions - On Wednesday 20th November we are hosting the

Interrelate sessions for students in years 3-6. Please take this opportunity to

attend to further build positive relationships with your child re Where do I

come from? and Preparing for Puberty knowledge. The sessions are

appropriate and child and parent friendly.

“Thank you” Afternoon Tea - Our school wouldn’t

be the great school it is without the support of our

community. We would love to invite you to an

afternoon tea prior to our final assembly next

Friday. So if you have helped in any way perhaps

you have listened to home reading, covered

books, helped on fund raising activities,

volunteered your time to teach Ethics, watered our

plants, school banking, cooked a sausage etc.

Any help has been valued and appreciated! Please join us to celebrate

the success of your contribution to another great year at Bonnet Bay

Public school.

Remembrance Day

As a school community, BBPS remembered… at

the 11th hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month.

We remembered to honour the brave people

who fought and served in wars and remember

their sacrifices.

Students respectfully wore a sprig of Rosemary;

our student leaders led the school in explaining

the meaning of Remembrance Day; and our

tech team supported the assembly with a slide

show.

Well done Bonnet Bay, each of you

participated and remembered.

Not Just a Brush

Bonnet Bay students were lucky to participate

in the Not Just a Brush art challenge and

exhibition. We submitted two artworks, one

completed by all stage 3 students and another

completed by an enrichment art group. The

theme of the exhibition was 'Journeys' and both

artworks explored the many types of journeys

that books allow us to take in our minds.

Bonnet Bay families are encouraged to visit the

Hazelhurst Gallery from Wednesday 27th of

November to Wednesday Dec 4th to see our

creations!
