Weekly Wrap Up
Dear Families,
I trust that you enjoyed plenty of sunshine over the school holiday break, and perhaps getting out and about with some family time. The promise of warm weather seems to lift everyone's spirits at this time of year!
There is great anticipation in the air here at Brighton with so much to look forward to this term! As one walks through the school, it is increasingly common to find groups of children rehearsing health hustles, crying out their house chants and practising relays. This all tells us that Sports Day is just around the corner, and we hope that families will come to join this special day next Friday 23 October. The Sports Day program and map of events will be sent by email early next week so keep an eye out for that.
In this week's Brighton Buzz there are a number of important dates, such as Spooktacular and the End of Year Celebration Night, so please take the time to jot those down in your diary.
Looking forward to seeing you around the school over the next couple of weeks.

Sports Day Mascots
Sports Day 2026 – Meet Our New House Mascots!
The excitement is building as we get ready for Brighton's Sports Day next week! We are looking forward to a fantastic day of fun, friendly competition, teamwork and plenty of house spirit as our four houses battle it out for the Sports Day Shield!
This year, we have something extra special to add to the excitement. For the very first time, each of our houses has its very own mascot! We are thrilled to introduce:
- Leo the Leopard – Light
- Barnabeast the Crocodile – Sturt
- Flin the Fox – Flinders
- Big Red the Kangaroo – Barker
Our new mascots will be making their official debut at the Sports Day opening ceremony and will be cheering on their houses throughout the day. We can't wait to see them in action!
We warmly invite families to come along, support our students and enjoy what promises to be another wonderful day for the Brighton Primary School community.
Get your house colours ready, bring your loudest cheers and let the countdown to Sports Day begin!
Year 5 Excursion to Townsend House
Our Year 5 students enjoyed an excursion to Townsend House in Brighton, where they explored local history and learned about inclusive education for students who were deaf and blind in the 1800's.
Throughout the visit, students discovered how education has evolved over time and gained a deeper understanding of the experiences and challenges of people who were deaf and hard of hearing or blind. They also explored the importance of accessibility and creating inclusive learning environments where everyone feels valued and supported.
The excursion encouraged students to develop empathy and reflect on how we can make our school and wider community more inclusive for everyone. It was a valuable opportunity to connect our learning with local history while celebrating the importance of respect and inclusivity which align with our school values here at Brighton Primary School.
Cybersafety SAPOL visit
On Thursday, the year five students at BPS had the pleasure of inviting Matt to our school to talk about safety on the internet. Matt is a police officer who works for SAPOL, he taught us all about how to keep ourselves and our friends and family safe online.
Matt taught us about the acronym AWARE.
