Uniform Our daily uniform awards are working beautifully to consistently focus on the standard of BPS uniform. It is impressive to see the number of students wearing full school uniform everyday. As a sun-safe school all students need to wear a school hat in the playground throughout Term 4. School hats are $12.
Year 6 DebatersCongratulations to our all-girl debating team. The girls remained undefeated throughout the Premier’s Debating Challenge conquering the Lake Macquarie West Area. The girls were Hunter Region finalists, narrowly beaten by Biddabah PS in the final stages of the
competition. Mighty effort girls!
Positive PlaygroundsOur playground systems involve daily awards including ‘I’ve been spotted playing nicely.’ Students receiving a playground award go into the daily draw for a $1 canteen voucher. Every Friday is ‘Teacher Fun Day.’ All teachers come out into the playground and join in playground games.

Premier’s Spelling Bee 2015 The Premier’s Spelling Bee, Regional Final was held at Coal Point, on the 16th September. Felicity Matthews and Amanuel Fitzgerald represented our school in the junior session and Caitlyn Atkinson and Samantha Keogh in the senior session. On the day, our regions finest spellers went through an entertaining, but grueling elimination process to select one junior and one senior representative to progress to the State final. This will be held at the ABC Centre, 700 Harris Street, Ultimo, on Wednesday 11th November 2015. Thank you and congratulations to our incredible and very talented students who represented our school, so well. We are very proud of you.

Learning For The Future
Office of the Children’s Guardian Is it a safe place for our kids? A guide for parents (resources can be download by going to our website at www.kidsguardian.nsw.gov.au) What parents can do: Employers and organisations can check or verify online that their workers or volunteers have a current Working with Children Check clearance number. So you don’t need to check a person who is employed but if your child has a coach or tutor that you pay directly you can go online to verify a Working with Children Check. Step 1: Ask the person who works with your child for their surname, date of birth and WWCC or APP number. Step 2: Go to www.kidsguardian.nsw.gov.au/check and click on the blue button. Step 3: Under Verify, click the Individuals (e.g. Parents) Verify button. Step 4: Complete the form, including the reason why you are checking the person (e.g. Sports coach, dance teacher etc.) Step 5: Click Submit Step 5: You will receive the outcome email
