KS have been having lots of fun in HSIE learning about how objects can tell us about the past. Yesterday, Uncle Scott took us to the Cultural Room where we were lucky enough to see and hold cultural objects such as coolamons, boomerangs and clapsticks, and learn about how they are used.

We then read Baby Business and created an artwork showing a coolamon being used during a baby smoking ceremony.

Our students have a voice!

Student voice is an important part of learning at BPS!
In 1/2R English, students use flip cards to let teachers know if they are ready to work independently or need help. This simple strategy supports confidence, independence and student agency in the classroom!

💛 R U OK? Day is tomorrow! 💛

A reminder that students are welcome to come dressed out of uniform and wear yellow in support of this important cause.

Let’s get behind R U OK? Day and help spark meaningful conversations about mental health and wellbeing. 💛

💛 R U OK? DAY AT BPS 💛

On Thursday, 10th September, we’re turning our school YELLOW to remind everyone that a simple question can make a life-changing difference.
We have a wonderful day planned for our students and staff, including:

💛 Wear Yellow – Show your support for R U OK? Day!

🌳 Whole School Display – Create a vibrant display with drawings, notes and handprints showing how we support one another, with special guests Thiyama-li joining us!

🚶‍♀️ Buddy Walk – At 2pm, students will buddy up for a walk and practise checking in with each other.

🥞 Breakfast Club – Enjoy a yellow-themed breakfast, including pancakes and juice, in a welcoming and supportive space.

💛 Positivity Tree – Pick a heart, read the message and share it with someone special at BPS – staff or students!

Our EYTC Mirrii Group will also be joining in on Monday, 7th September by wearing yellow. 💛

Let’s come together as a school community to check in, listen and support each other.

Because R U OK? isn’t just a question – it’s a conversation that can make a difference. 💛
