Dear Families, 

I would like to thank all the staff and families for a wonderful last week of term 2. It's been a busy and tiring week, but we made it. Wishing all students a well deserved break and families a happy holiday period. If you are traveling, please stay safe and have fun. Can't wait to see you all back in term 3 on Tuesday 22nd July.

Grade 2 Swimming Program

This week our grade 2 students concluded their swimming lessons on Thursday. What an awesome program. Thank you to all involved, staff and parent helpers. 

Term 3 Staffing Changes

We have some staffing changes for next term: 

• With the ongoing growth of Beveridge and enrolments coming into the school, we have created an additional grade 3 class - 3E - to commence next term. Ms Leah Dusenjko has been appointed as the classroom teacher.
• AUSLAN Specialist Teacher - Ms Rhianna Kyllo will be stepping into teaching AUSLAN across the year level.
• 2B Teacher Change - Ms Zeynab Kelmayche and Ms Kubra Calik will take over the teaching of 2B from next term, as Ms Kyllo steps into AUSLAN specialist teaching. 

Student Mid-Year Reports

Semester 1 Student Reports are now live and available for viewing to all families on the Compass app. Next term on Wednesday July 30th will be a student free day as it is Parent Teacher Conference day. Families can book in their times with the classroom teacher via Compass from 12pm on Tuesday 22nd July. 

A reminder that Foundation enrolments for 2026 close on Friday 25th July - first week back of term 3!

Wishing all our students and families a restful break, and we look forward to seeing you back next term for more exciting learning adventures!

Your sincerely, 

Christine Cole

As she steps into retirement, we celebrate the lasting impact she has made on our school community.

During Term 2 students at Arrowsmith have been exploring Indigenous artwork and experimenting with dot painting, which uses tiny dots of paint to create beautiful pictures that often tell important stories about nature, animals, family, and the land.  We looked at some Australian animals and painted patterns and dots around them. Foundation students traced their hands and decorated them to create a striking display for Reconciliation week.

Exciting News – Bike Education Program Coming Soon!

Following recent staff training, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our Bike Education Program for our year 6 students! This engaging and practical program is designed to teach children the skills they need to ride safely, confidently, and responsibly in their communities.

The program will focus on:

• Building basic riding and bike-handling skills
  
  
• Developing road safety awareness and understanding traffic rules
  
  
• Promoting the use of helmets and safety gear
  
  
• Encouraging physical activity and independence

Bike Ed is a fantastic opportunity for students to develop lifelong skills while having fun and being active outdoors. Our trained staff are excited to guide students through a series of sessions that will progressively build their competence and confidence.

Being in our first year of implementation, we acknowledge that we are in need of some essential equipment to make this opportunity possible for ALL of our students. 

In particular we are on the lookout for the following items to make this program possible. 

• Second hand bicycles - preferably bikes with gears.
• Helmets, bikes, pumps or safety gear.
• Puncture repair kits, basic tools and maintenance equipment
• Parent and Community support in volunteers to join local rides, provide bike checks and minor repairs. 
• Donations to support the purchase of required equipment

We would love you to get in contact to discuss ways in which you may be able to support the program.

Wallan Basketball Association is excited to be running a fun and engaging School Holiday Basketball Program at RB Robson Stadium during the July break.

The program caters to all skill levels, with sessions for both domestic and representative players, and is run by our BigV import players – providing a great opportunity for local kids to learn from elite-level athletes while staying active over the break.

At Beveridge PS, we are proud of the strong, respectful, and inclusive community we continue to build together. As a school community, we are guided by our school values: Respect, Excellence, Resilience andTogetherness. 

We know that our children learn best when the adults around them lead by example, modelling empathy, patience, and respect.

Lately, there have been a few instances where interactions between parents and staff particularly those on duty or working in our busy front offices have not reflected the respectful behaviours we strive to uphold. While we understand that frustrations can arise from time to time, it is never acceptable to direct that frustration at our staff through aggression, yelling and disrespectful language. These actions impact not only staff wellbeing, but also the tone and culture we work so hard to cultivate for our students.

Our School Policy outlines expectations for all adult members of our school community. It reminds us that we are all role models. Whether at drop-off and pick up, during school events, or in a conversation with staff, each of us has a responsibility to show our children what respectful, constructive communication looks like, even when we disagree or are under pressure.

We ask that all parents and carers support our shared values by:

• Speaking calmly and respectfully with all staff, including office staff and those on duty.
• Using appropriate school channels to raise any concerns or questions.
• Approaching issues with a spirit of partnership, not confrontation.
• Remembering that staff are here to help and are doing their best in a large and school environment.

We are here to listen, support, and problem solve together. Our goal is always to work with you, for the benefit of your child.

Together, we can ensure Beveridge Primary School is a safe, respectful, and thriving learning environment for all.
