Class Akuete are out in the garden today harvesting the last of the Lilly Pilly fruits in the Sensory Garden. They will be juicing these fruits this afternoon and sharing them over afternoon tea 🌳 such a great way to be part of the food making process!

Last week we celebrated a very special day for our Year 6 and Year 12 students as they proudly received their 2026 jerseys! 🎓 There were plenty of smiles as we celebrated this exciting milestone and the wonderful achievements of our graduating students. For our Year 6 students, it marks the end of their primary school years and the exciting next step into high school. For our Year 12 students, it celebrates an incredible school journey and the many memories they have made along the way. We are so proud of each and every one of you and can’t wait to see you wearing your jerseys around BGS! 💙💛

✨Happy Primary Principals Day to our very own Jo-Anne Gardiner. Those who know Jo know just how much of herself she gives to BGS. She knows our students, celebrates their wins, supports our families and is always there for her staff - usually while juggling a hundred other things at once! Thank you Jo for the energy, heart and dedication you bring to BGS and for always keeping our students at the centre of what we do. We hope you know just how appreciated you are. Happy Principals Day Jo! ✨

Class Hadlow and Class Finn students had a wonderful day exploring Hyde Park Barracks as part of their History program. Students enjoyed discovering Australia’s colonial past through engaging, hands-on experiences in a welcoming and inclusive environment. A big thank you to the staff at Museums of History NSW for accommodating our students and making the experience so enjoyable. We appreciate your support!

A huge thank you to all of our families who joined us today as part of our Education Week Open Day. It was wonderful to welcome you into our classrooms to share in your child’s learning, celebrate their achievements and experience the incredible work happening across our school each day. Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership. We hope you enjoyed being part of the learning alongside our students - it was a fantastic day to celebrate learning together! 📝📚🎨

A big thank you to the team at Revesby Woolworths for helping kick off our Ooshies collection! 🎉 Class Bartley had a fantastic time opening each Ooshie packet, sorting them by character and carefully placing them into our new collector cases. This fun activity supports sorting, matching, fine motor skills and teamwork, while bringing plenty of excitement to the classroom. We can’t wait to see our collection continue to grow. Thank you for your generosity and support! 💚

BGS staff look forward to welcoming back all our students next week for the start of Semester two.

A beautiful day and excursion exploring the Community Garden at Revesby Uniting Church and then packing fresh produce from the farmers with Leonie from Panania Free Rangers before making some apple juice! 🍎 🍏 What a great way to finish Class Peterson’s Science and farming history units this term. Thank you to Leonie for welcoming and supporting our students and to Emma for her organisation and support of such an inspiring program.

Our Dance Troupe were lucky enough to participate in the All Abilities Dance Workshop at Hurstville Public School today. Students had a fantastic time developing their dance skills and enjoying a fun and inclusive day of movement and creativity. It was wonderful to see our students stepping outside their comfort zones, building connections and embracing every opportunity to participate throughout the day. Thank you to Marnie, Simone and Cass B for supporting our students throughout the day and The Arts Unit for organising a fantastic initiative 💃🕺✨
