Principal’s Report
It has been a busy and exciting time at Beaconsfield Primary, with many wonderful events and initiatives bringing our school community together.
Firstly, a heartfelt thank you to our incredible School Association for organising and running the Mother’s Day Stall. The stall was a fantastic success, and it was heartwarming to see students carefully selecting gifts for the special people in their lives. We hope all families enjoyed celebrating Mother's Day and honouring the important people who care for and support them.
Our School Cross Country Carnival was another highlight. Well done to all students who participated with enthusiasm and determination. A special congratulations to those students who achieved outstanding individual performances and have now been selected to represent Beaconsfield Primary at the TPSSA Inter-School Carnival, which we are proud to be hosting on 28 May 2025. We also extend our thanks to the many families and friends who came along to cheer on our students. Congratulations to Flinders House, who claimed victory over Bass, 177 to 154 – a fantastic display of house spirit and encouragement was evident throughout the day.
Last Friday, we recognised Walk to School Safely Day, which promotes the importance of road safety, health, and environmental awareness. It was wonderful to see so many students and families participate in the walk, reinforcing these important messages. Everyone enjoyed a delicious breakfast of pikelets and flavoured milk on arrival – a great way to start the day!
Looking ahead, our Mid-Year Reporting Conversations will take place in Weeks 8 and 9. Information has already been sent home, and bookings can be made through the online portal. These meetings are a valuable opportunity to discuss your child’s academic progress as well as their social and emotional development. We value the partnership we share with families and encourage ongoing communication throughout the year. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or school staff at any time.
Lastly, we are excited to announce that the Winter Sport Roster for Year 5 and 6 students will begin in Week 8 and continue into Term 3. Due to growing enrolment numbers, this program will not be available to Year 4 students in 2025. Students will soon have the opportunity to nominate their preferred sports during class time. While we will do our best to accommodate everyone’s preferences, priority will be given to Year 6 students where possible.
Thank you for your continued support of our school. We are proud of the positive culture and sense of community that continues to grow at Beaconsfield Primary.
