Ballarat North Primary School

🎉 FATHER’S DAY STALL – WEDNESDAY 2 SEPTEMBER! 🎁

Father’s Day is just around the corner, and our Father’s Day Stall is happening on Wednesday 2 September! 💙

Students will have the opportunity to choose a special gift for their Dad, Grandad, Pop or another special person in their life. 🎁

💰 Gifts will be available for purchase at the stall.

Please send money with your child on the day, preferably in a clearly labelled envelope with their name and class.

We can’t wait to help the students choose something special! 💙

We are excited to once again hold our annual Father's Day Stall on Wednesday, 2 September.

All gifts are $5 each. Each class will visit the stall during the morning, giving every child the opportunity to choose a special gift for their dad, grandad, or another special person in their life.

To ensure every child has the chance to purchase a gift, there will be a limit of one gift per child during their class visit. If gifts remain after all classes have had the opportunity to attend the stall, additional gifts may be purchased from Mrs Kittelty at the end of the day.

Thank you for your support. We look forward to helping our students celebrate the special people in their lives!

🎉 Celebrating 100 Days of Learning! 🎉

What an incredible milestone for our Foundation students—100 Days of Learning! 🌟

Over the past 100 days, our young learners have grown in confidence, curiosity, and kindness. From learning letters and numbers to making new friends, discovering new skills, and creating wonderful memories, every day has been filled with exciting achievements.

Today we celebrated this special occasion with fun activities, laughter, and plenty of smiles. We are so proud of how far our Foundation students have come and can't wait to see what the rest of the year brings!

A big thank you to our amazing teachers, staff, and families for supporting our students every step of the way. 💙

Here's to 100 days of learning, growing, and shining—and many more to come! 🌈📚

A Huge Shout Out to the BNPS School Community!
What an incredible effort from our BNPS community in making another fundraiser a fantastic success!

Firstly, we would like to acknowledge and sincerely thank all of the parents and staff who generously volunteered their time. Your efforts never go unnoticed or unappreciated. Without volunteers like you, events like these simply wouldn't be possible.

Our recent Bunnings BBQ was a tremendous success, with an incredible 980 sausages sold! The final sausage was served at 3:59 pm, just in time to meet Bunnings' requirement to trade until 4:00 pm.

Thanks to everyone's hard work and support, the event raised an outstanding $2,742.89 after expenses. These funds will go towards our school's Grounds Masterplan and new equipment, benefiting our students and school community.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who helped make the day such a success, especially:
• Our parent helpers: Sally, Sam H, Melissa, Kirsty, Brianna, Elise, Sam B, Temeika, Ashleigh, Lucy, Tiff, Belinda, Sarah, Luciano and Chloe.
• Jenny, our Business Manager, for sourcing the bread, ordering the drinks, onions and sauces, and preparing the cash float.
• Emma, one of our Education Support staff, for collecting bread from two different bakeries, generously allowing us to use her van to transport supplies, and volunteering her time throughout the day.
• Temeika and Tiffany for collecting the sausages and preparing all 980 sausages before the event.
• Kirsty and Belinda, members of the Fundraising Committee, for their assistance throughout the day.
• Our Principal, Dave, and School Council President, Scott, who stepped up to cook the final shift on the barbecue.
• Our generous suppliers: Bread was kindly donated by Bakers Delight Sebastopol and Golden Nugget Bakery—thank you so much for your wonderful support. Sausages, drinks and serviettes were purchased from Ryan's IGA, and fresh sliced onions were purchased from Peachs Fruit Market. Our Principal, Dave, and School Council President, Scott, even earned themselves the nickname "The Big Kahunas" from one of our parents!

Once again, a huge thank you goes to every parent and staff member who volunteered. We actually had more volunteers than we needed for the final shift—a wonderful problem to have and a true reflection of our amazing school community.

Finally, thank you to all of our families and community members who stopped by to support us by purchasing a sausage (or two!). Your generosity and ongoing support make fundraising events like this possible, and we truly appreciate it.

Together, we made this event an incredible success. Thank you!

On behalf of the BNPS Fundraising Committee
