Dear Families, It has been another successful week of learning at Brighton, highlighted by our joyful celebration of Harmony Day. Students proudly wore orange or traditional national dress, creating a vibrant display of inclusion and diversity across our school.

On Thursday the whole school came together to sing and sign “We Are Amazing”, a powerful moment that reflected our shared values of respect, empathy, excellence and inclusivity. Students then enjoyed a picnic lunch with their buddy classes. In a thoughtful gesture, older students made friendship bracelets for their younger buddies and presented them during the picnic, strengthening connections and celebrating what makes each of us unique. Thank you to the parents and grandparents who joined us for this celebration.

A reminder that our Parents and Friends will be hosting a democracy sausage sizzle at school tomorrow, raising funds to support improvements to our school facilities.

Enjoy the weekend.

Warm Regards, Rebecca

Our Year 4 students recently enjoyed a fantastic excursion to Lenswood Apple Farm, where they experienced learning beyond the classroom. Students explored the orchard, discovered how apples are grown and harvested, and learned about the journey from farm to table.

The learning didn’t stop there! Back at school, students put their new knowledge into action by cooking with the apples they brought back. From peeling and chopping to mixing and baking, there was plenty of excitement as they worked together to create apple turnovers.

This hands on experience was a wonderful way to connect learning in science, health, and sustainability, while having lots of fun along the way!

Over the past two weeks, our Year 3 and Year 5 students have approached NAPLAN with focus, resilience and a positive mindset. We are incredibly proud of the way they have embraced the experience, giving their best effort across all areas of the assessments. NAPLAN is just one of many ways we gather information about student learning, and it provides a valuable snapshot to support our teaching and planning. A big thank you to our staff for creating calm, supportive environments, and to families for helping ensure students were ready for learning each day.

Brighton Secondary School – Year 7 Enrolment Information Session

On Monday 30 March at 6:00pm, Brighton Secondary School will be hosting a Year 7 Enrolment Information Session in our Senior Study Centre. The session will provide families with detailed information about the Year 7 enrolment process, including an overview of the Department for Education (DfE) statewide transition process from primary to secondary, and a "how to" submit the registration of interest for secondary school.

The session is open to all prospective families, both in-zone and out-of-zone for Brighton Secondary School, and currently attending public or private primary schools. Families with younger children who may be planning for future enrolments are also welcome to attend, not just those considering Year 7 in 2027.
