Term 2 - Week 6


Principal Message

Dear Families, 

This week all our junior students had a visit from Poppy to learn more about responsible pet ownership. Poppy is a labrador who just loves coming to visit all the students at the junior campus annually. 

National Reconciliation Week May 27th - 31st

Next week we will be acknowledging National Reconciliation Week at BPS. It is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. On Tuesday, all students will be attending a cultural performance to learn more about our rich indigenous history and culture. 

Assessment & Reporting 

Our teachers are currently undertaking mid-year Literacy and Numeracy testing in preparation for mid-year reporting. Mid year reports will be available to families via Compass, in the last week of the term, with parent teacher interviews taking place early next term.

Grade 2 Transition Day to Ambrosia

Next Thursday May 30th all our grade 2 students will be spending the day at the Ambrosia campus, in order to get ready for grade 3 next year. We have planned a fun day of activities to support students in getting to know the older students and the campus. 

Pyjama Day!  Fri June 7th 

Our student leadership teams have decided to hold an out of uniform day at both campuses on Friday June 7th June. All students, and staff, are encouraged to ‘dress up’ in warm pyjamas for the day and bring a gold coin as a donation to go towards a charity. 

Please stay warm and well over the weekend,

Yours sincerely, 

Christine Cole

National Simultaneous Storytime

Beveridge Primary School participated in the ALIA National Simultaneous Storytime 2024 on Tuesday 24th May .

National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is an Australia-wide group reading and literacy event, where schools, libraries and other institutions gather school-age children together to read the same chosen picture book at the same time.




Responsible Pet Ownership

The Responsible Pet Ownership primary school program is aimed at 5 to 12 year olds and has been delivered to over 1 million Victorian primary school children. It visits over 800 primary schools each year across the state.

The program focuses on teaching students about dog safety:

  • when dogs should be left alone
  • things we should not do to dogs
  • how can you tell if a dog is happy, frightened or angry
  • a safe way to approach and greet a dog
  • what to do if approached by an unknown or aggressive dog

The program also introduces and develops the following concepts:

  • choosing an appropriate pet
  • general welfare
  • husbandry
  • the importance of identification and registration
  • confinement and housing
  • exercise and training

 



Grade 1

Our grade 1 students have been learning about procedural texts and how write one and how to follow a procedure. 

Procedural texts are used when we use a recipe to bake , just like Arianna.

Thank you so much for supporting Beveridge Primary School Parents & Friends Committee, especially through fundraising. This term, we are running a Billy G’s Gourmet Cookie Dough fundraiser to raise money for much needed resources and equipment for the school.

Billy G’s Gourmet Cookie Dough is an exciting fundraiser, made by an Australian, family owned and operated business. There are nine (9) dough-licious flavours to choose from, including the most popular Choc Chunk and Raspberry White Choc.

You can also create your own cookie magic with the Golden Classic flavour – the base of the Billy G’s secret family recipe.  You can Add Hundreds & Thousands, macadamia nuts and white chocolate pieces, anything you like: the sky is the limit on what you can create! There is even something for your special furry friends, with a cheese flavoured Doggie Dough!  Billy G’s Gourmet Cookie Dough is exclusive to fundraising – so stock up!

How do prizes work? Every student who sells two or more tubs will receive an incentive prize for their efforts! But why not aim higher? The more tubs you sell the more prizes you will receive! There are 11 prizes up for grabs, so why not set your own fundraising goal and aim for them all? Prizes are automatically ordered at the end of our fundraiser based on the number of tubs you have sold.
