Weekly Wrap Up
It has been a joyful week here at Brighton!
Sports Day today was a huge success, evident by the energy, positive vibes and enthusiastic participation across the day. Our young Principal and Assistant Principals for the Day made an impression across the school community with their confidence with public speaking and recognising excellence. The honour of welcoming new children and their families to our school community to share in these joys and contribute to our culture is perhaps the highlight overall!
Don't miss the opportunity to get involved with P&F Spooktacular next Friday from 5-7pm. Get dressed up, or just come and enjoy the live music, games and catching up with other families to kick of the weekend. Any help to get set up on the day would be welcomed by the dedicated P&F team who organise this event.
A reminder that the yellow lines on Highet Avenue indicate it is not appropriate to park even momentarily to drop children off. SAPOL have indicated they will be doing spot checks to ensure student safety, so please be aware of this.
Next Friday is World Teachers Day, please shine a light on how Brighton teachers make a difference to you and your family by sharing a positive experience here. You don't need to name a particular teacher, we'd just love to hear what we are doing that makes an impact!
Have a wonderful, safe weekend.

Blue Finish for Sports Day
What a terrific day for everyone at Brighton for Sports Day! After a sprinkle of rain, grey skies kept us cool and eventually cleared to blue for the final relays of the day. Thanks to the whole community for contributing to such a joyful atmosphere. Marek, Jeff and all the staff, Uncle Tamaru for his Welcome to Country, year 6 House Captains and Mascots, volunteers behind the scenes, in the canteen and working the BBQ, families for their cheering and support, and all the students who truly lived our school values of respect, inclusivity, empathy and excellence today.
Final scores saw Flinders take the shield, and everyone was a winner judging by the smiles!

Buzzy Bees @ Brighton
This week Brighton Primary and Centre for Deaf Education welcomed the new students to Our Buzzy Bees transition program. The students explored play based activities, building their confidence to develop friendships and prepare them for a happy and successful start to school.
Principal for the Day
One of the coveted prizes from P&F Quiz Night Silent Auction, is the opportunity to be Principal for the Day. Jack, Harry and Oscar had this experience on Wednesday so that Jo could take it easy(!). They confidently welcomed our new families at their first Buzzy Bees session, presented medals for Premier's Reading Challenge, planned a lunch time activity for students, and observed classes to award and present Values in Action Awards. They reflected at the end of the day...
Jack: I learned that being a Principal is fun. The best part is handing out the values awards and the Premiers Reading Challenge medals.
Oscar: I want to be a space scientist when I grow up. The most interesting part of being an Assistant Principal is giving out awards.
Harry: I would like to be a builder. I enjoyed walking around the school and taking photos of our school values in action.
Road Crossing Safety
Our road crossing on Highet Ave is a rite of passage for growing up in many ways. It is often where children first start to independently cross the road to school with their parent watching from a distance. It's also where our senior students show leadership when they become traffic monitors. This week our Year 5 students trained with a Nick from SAPOL, as they prepare for regular shifts in 2027 as Year 6s.
Safe practices from all pedestrians and drivers on Highet Avenue is paramount to everyone's safety during school drop off and pickup times. SAPOL has kindly offered to do regular spot checks to ensure that drivers are respecting the yellow 'no parking' lines and speed limits so please remember this is all in the name of keeping our kids safe.
Library Happenings
Our school library has been brightened with new wall graphics, creating a welcoming and engaging space for students to enjoy. The colourful designs add excitement to the library and inspire curiosity, imagination and a love of reading.
