Baulkham Hills North Public School

The children (and teachers!) were wonderfully comfy and cosy yesterday as they enjoyed a Pyjama Day with a purpose! 💤🧸
Our Junior SRC did an amazing job organising the event, with everyone embracing their favourite PJs, dressing gowns and Oodies while raising an incredible $790+ for Stewart House charity.

There was plenty of learning, playing and cosy fun throughout the day - and thankfully the teachers (and Principal) didn't fall asleep on the job! A huge thank you to everyone who supported this wonderful initiative.

Our front office has come to life with new noticeboards for each grade level, show-casing the amazing learning and artwork of our students.
This week we shine a spotlight on some of the incredible artworks by our talented Year 4 students, and show how we can bring them to life using the free animation tools available on Canva!

Today is the start of Bullying No Way: National Week of Action (17–21 August) - an important opportunity to reinforce our commitment to ensuring every student at Baulkham Hills North feels safe, respected, included and supported.

This year’s theme, "Small Acts, Big Impact", reminds us that everyday actions like including others, showing kindness, checking in with a friend and speaking up safely can make a big difference.
Throughout the week, students will explore respectful relationships, inclusion, kindness and positive behaviour through daily discussions, our fortnightly assembly and a wristband-making activity.

We encourage families to continue the conversation at home by asking: “What small act did you notice or try today?” Together, our small acts can make a big impact.

Yesterday our Year 3 and 4 students had a wonderful science lesson, learning alongside Year 9 & 10 High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) science students from Muirfield High School.

The Muirfield students were outstanding - knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and incredibly mature as they guided our students through a lesson on Budj Bim, First Nations Eruptions Observations. It was fantastic to see our younger students so engaged (making volcanos out of spaghetti was fun!), curious and excited to learn from their high school peers.

Initiatives like this provide a wonderful opportunity to build connections between our school and Muirfield, inspire a love of learning and give students a glimpse into the next stage of their educational journey.

A huge thank you to the wonderful Muirfield High School students and staff - we are already looking forward to the next session together on Wednesday 26 August!

Yesterday, as part of Education Week we celebrated World Principals Day. 💚📚

It was a wonderful opportunity to recognise our incredible Principal, Mr Holmes, and thank him for the leadership, dedication and care he brings to Baulkham Hills North Public School each and every day.

Mr Holmes was presented with a hamper of gifts from the P&C to show our gratitude for everything he does for our students, staff, families and wider school community. 🎁💚

We are incredibly fortunate to have a Principal who is so passionate about our school and committed to creating a supportive, positive and enriching environment for our children.

From the BHNPS P&C and our entire school community, thank you Mr Holmes for all that you do!👏💚

Thank you for joining us for our Education Week Open Day and Showcase Concerts today! With the sun shining brightly, our students, staff and school were at their very best. From the engaging learning experiences in our classrooms to the outstanding performances on stage, the day was a vibrant celebration of everything that makes Baulkham Hills North such a special place to learn and belong.

Our school was buzzing with visitors enjoying the library book sales, coffee van, open classrooms and showcase concerts, experiencing firsthand the creativity, talent and strong sense of community that define our school. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the excellence of public education and share the warmth, pride and spirit that make Baulkham Hills North so unique.

None of this would be possible without our exceptional teachers, whose passion and dedication inspire out students every day, and our wonderful parent community whose ongoing support helps make our school the thriving place it is.
Enjoy some photo highlights of a truly wonderful day, and thank you to the many families who were able to join us and make it so memorable!

Last night, our Performance Choir proudly represented Baulkham Hills North Public School on the iconic stage of the Sydney Opera House as part of the Arts Unit Festival of Choral Music – Australis concert. It was an unforgettable way to celebrate Education Week 2026!!

Joining more than 700 students from primary schools across New South Wales, our own 35 talented singers became part of an incredible combined choir, performing a spectacular repertoire in one of the world's most prestigious concert venues. The Festival of Choral Music celebrates excellence in music education, bringing together outstanding young vocalists alongside exceptional instrumental and vocal performances from across the state.

Highlights of the evening included the uplifting performances of Circle of Life, Feelin' Groovy and the beautifully moving Northern Lights, with each piece receiving a warm response from the audience. Our students performed each song with enthusiasm, confidence and joy, showcasing not only their singing talents but also the teamwork, dedication and commitment that has been developed throughout the year as they have rehearsed each week.

A heartfelt thank you goes to Mrs Drayson and Miss Law for their incredible organisation, leadership and expert music tuition. Their passion, dedication and countless hours of preparation ensured our students were ready to embrace this remarkable opportunity and perform at their very best.

Performing on the stage of the Sydney Opera House is an experience our students will no doubt remember for a lifetime and we are immensely proud of each and every choir member.
