Dear Families, 

Thank you to everyone for coming along and being involved in our Festival of Colour day last Friday. We all had a fabulous time during the Colour Run and the afterschool community activities. I am extremely proud of our students involved in the cultural dancing - what an amazing performance. The Art Show was a phenomenal showcase of our student creativity! 

Happy Diwali 

Diwali is the Indian “festival of lights” - a holiday celebrating the triumph of light over dark, good over evil, and the blessings of victory, freedom, and enlightenment. Throughout the week our students have had the opportunity to learn more about Diwali. To all our families celebrating the festival, Happy Diwali!

2026 Planning & Preparation

As we look ahead to the 2026 school year, our priority is clear: ensure every student enters a classroom where they are supported by strong leadership, excellent teachers, and the resources they need to thrive. We are actively recruiting and appointing new school leaders and teachers to join the BPS staffing team. 

Young Leaders Excursion - tomorrow!

All our senior campus student leaders will have their final leadership learning day tomorrow at Wallan SC. The students will continue to engage with student leaders from across our network of primary schools and continue to build their knowledge and skills of what it takes to be an exceptional leader. 

Yours sincerely, 

Christine Cole

Our Festival of Colour Day was a huge success, bringing together students, families, and staff in a wonderful celebration of creativity, culture, and community spirit! The day began with our exciting Colour Fun Run, filling the oval with laughter and bright splashes of colour.
Students proudly showcased their amazing artwork in our Art Show, highlighting their talent and imagination. The festivities continued with our after-school community event, where families came together to enjoy food, music, and cultural displays.
Our dance performances by our Grade 3, 4’s and 5’s were truly spectacular. Thank you to everyone who joined and helped make this vibrant day one to remember!
