Boneo Buzz: 26th February

In 2021, we are seeking to:

• Develop strong cognitive engagement through our curriculum programs, catering for the diverse range of learners at BPS,
• Activate behavioural engagement through our review of the Wellbeing, Engagement and Attendance Policy; and
• Ignite community engagement within the school and beyond.

There are numerous ways for parents and carers to engage with the school and contribute to the BPS community. We understand that many families are busy and, as a result, there are a variety of levels of interaction including:

• Volunteering in the classroom and/or in school programs (on hold due to COVID)
• Accompanying the grade on school excursions and camps
• Assisting with the Kitchen Garden Program
• Attending special events, such as sporting events/assemblies, Family Food and Fun Night, Golf Day, Oaks Day and helping out where appropriate
• Supporting the students by attending various off-site sporting events
• Attending ‘Share the Joy of Learning’ offered each term
• Participating in the class coordinator program by taking on the role/s of class coordinator or by engaging in one of the social events. Our first meeting is this coming Monday 1st March at 9am in the staffroom. We will be planning the Family Food and Fun night scheduled for Friday 12th March
• Representing the parent community as a member of the School Council. These members meet eight times a year and also participate in at least one sub-committee. The annual School Council AGM is Tuesday 16th March at 6:30pm.

We want to acknowledge and thank our retiring council members:

1. Sarah Munn
2. Adam Alexander
3. Lynsey Richmond
4. Kathy Marsh
5. Nicole Crean

I know you will join me in thanking these parents for their outstanding contribution to support the decision making at BPS.
