Principal’s Report

Yoga - As we come to the end of our Yoga program, family day was

enjoyed by many parents learning techniques to breath and be in the

moment. Next Term we will be participating in a dance program for all

students to participate in in preparation for our 40th Anniversary

celebration early in Term 3.

Term 1 Reporting - In Week 11 your child will be bringing

home a Student Learning Profile Report. The purpose of

this report is to give you an indication on how your child is

engaging in learning at school. It reports on attitude,

work habits and their behavior. We see it as a positive

start to the year. If you have any concerns, please

contact your child’s teacher.

Congratulations to our Senior and Junior choirs who headed off to their

first rehearsals this week. They displayed their BBPS positive behavior and

sang up a storm with enthusiasm.

Principal Conference - Last week I had the opportunity to attend our

network of schools Principals conference with my local colleagues in

Wollongong. We enjoyed collegial discussions and collaborative

workshops on how we can build positive school cultures and give our

students positive mindsets for their future. Dan Haesler and also Glen

Gerreyn from the Hopefull Institute spoke passionately on the importance

of Wellbeing and how we can navigate positively the complexity of

contemporary society to benefit our students. I am looking forward in

sharing this with our staff.

Stage 3 Camp - Bags are packed, excitement is growing! We wish all

Stage 3 a fun filled camp making great memories with their friends. Don’t

forget to look after the teachers Stage 3! ENJOY!

ANZAC DAY Ceremony - Next Wednesday we will be holding our ANZAC

day ceremony in the hall at 9.20am. We welcome Mr Brad Copelin from

Engadine RSL as a guest speaker. A huge thank you to our wonderful

community with all the donations for our ANZAC care packages! We had

a fabulous response and will be sending off more than 15 packages to

soldiers overseas serving! Well done BBPS.

Easter Hat Parade - Start creating your hats, the day is approaching for

the grand parade! Our Easter Hat Parade is next Friday at 2.05pm in our

hall. Come join us in an afternoon of celebrations and fun!

ANZAC Service

ANZAC Day, 25th April, is one of Australia’s most

important national occasions. It is part of the

tradition and history of our country. We shall

remember…

Public schools are encouraged to hold their

assembly service prior to the date. Since

ANZAC Day falls during the school holidays,

BBPS will honour this occasion at 9.20am, on

Wednesday 10th April, in our school hall.

We are delighted to have Mr Brad Copelin join

us to share some of his experiences with the

students, staff and families.

Community members

are welcome to join us

as we remember.

Get ready for The Big Vegie Crunch!

On Thursday 4th April at 10.30 am our school will

be joining hundreds of schools across NSW to

break the record for the most students crunch-

ing vegetables simultaneously.

But we need your help to make it a success!

On Thursday 4th April, please pack your child a

container of vegetables (not fruit this time) for

them to crunch on.

Need some ideas?

carrot, celery, cucumber – cut into sticks or

left whole

capsicum – cut into sticks or wedges

corn – raw baby corn spears or a cooked

corn cob

broccoli or cauliflower florets - raw or lightly

cooked to keep their crunch

tomatoes – small cherry tomatoes or a large

tomato that can be eaten like an apple

beans or snow peas - raw or lightly cooked

to keep their crunch

mushrooms – sliced or

left whole

Mona Williams Performance

During Harmony Week

students were privileged to

spend the afternoon with

world renowned storyteller

Mona Williams.

Mona brought her stories to life

with her dramatic and vibrant

performance on Wednesday

afternoon in the hall. Students

were engaged, entranced and enthralled by

Mona’s energy. Her empathetic stories that she

told, not only promoted inclusion but also

tolerance and respect.

At the end of the performance, BBPS students

and teachers happily danced out of the hall in

a Congo line to some groovy African music

with Mona.

ANZAC Care Packages

Well done Bonnet Bay! Thanks to all of your

donations of goodies and treats, we have

made 15 care packages to send to Australian

servicemen and women stationed all over the

world in time for ANZAC

day. We are fortunate to

come to school each day

and be surrounded by such

generous and caring

families!

POINTS FOR PURPOSE Cake Stall

Fundraiser

A cake stall is always a huge hit at Bonnet Bay!

Stage 3 baked up a storm for a very special

fundraising initiative to support those experienc-

ing homelessness. With the proceeds of the

cake stall ($481.35) we will

be purchasing backpack

beds for those in need. If

Fathering Project 2019

It was fantastic to see some new and not-so-

new faces at the first BBPS Fathering Project

event of the year. Dads enjoyed a meal

together and chatted about how great it is to

be a father. If you are interested in becoming

a champion dad and helping out with organis-

ing and running Fathering Project events in

2019 please let me

know.

PSSA Term 1

In PSSA this season our teams competed in

touch football, softball and t-ball. Sadly mother

nature and some heavy rainfall impacted our

play as the girls touch footy only played 3

games and the boys softball and T-Ball played

4. In spite of this, the students kept their spirits

high and showed great improved in skills over a

short amount of time. When playing against

other schools, they consistently upheld our

school values and should be very proud of their

efforts!

In Term 2, PSSA soccer and netball starts in

Week 1. If your child was selected for these

teams, notes need to be back ASAP!

For next season, finger’s crossed the rain stays

away…
