Dear families, as we begin the first week of Term 3, it has been wonderful to see our students return ready to learn and reconnect with their friends and teachers. Across the school, students have quickly settled back into routines and learning, creating a positive and productive start to the term.

This term, we are especially excited to welcome 45 new Foundation children to our school community. Our newest learners have settled in remarkably well, highlighting the success of our Buzzy Bees Transition Program, which has helped make the move to school a positive and confident experience.

We are also delighted to welcome several new staff members. A warm welcome to our new teachers, Yovani, Sam and Grace, and to our new School Support Officers, Paige, Maddie and Louise. We are thrilled to have them join our team.

There is plenty to look forward to over the coming weeks, including the P&F Quiz Night, Book Week, Writers' Week, and our biannial Art Show. We look forward to sharing these exciting events with our school community and another fantastic term of learning together.

Enjoy the weekend.

Warm Regards, Rebecca

Welcome to our 45 new Foundation children who started school this week in Mawson 5 and Tirkanthu Kuu 1. The first week of school is exciting for students and families alike as they make new friends and learn new routines as they become familiar with school life.

Many of our Foundation students have attended 100 days of school this year, building their learning superpowers! To celebrate the milestone, students dressed up as superheroes and explored the concept of 100. They each brought a collection of 100 items to school, completed challenges using 100 items, and followed a procedure to make fairy bread with 100s and 1000s!

The Year 2 Bee Musical, which was performed at the end of Term 2, was a celebration of talent and community spirit at Brighton Primary School and Centre of Deaf Education. Students captivated the audiences with excellent performances that demonstrated both their enthusiasm and commitment to the production. The dedication of staff and students was evident in every aspect, from the impressive singing to the fantastic costumes, which brought the characters to life on stage. Families played a crucial role, offering invaluable support that contributed to the show's overall success. The combination of meticulous preparation, outstanding teamwork, and energetic participation made The Bee Musical a memorable highlight for everyone involved.
