Dear Families,

A huge thank you to all the families who supported last Saturday night's Quiz Night, and a special thank you to our dedicated P&F Committee for organising such an enjoyable event. It was wonderful to see our community come together and enjoy such a positive and fun evening.

This week, we celebrated our love of books, literature, authors and illustrators through Book Week and our Writers' Week Assembly. In the lead up to Writers' Week, every child had the opportunity to participate in and celebrate the writing process, creating a range of imaginative and engaging texts. Congratulations to all students whose work was shortlisted and to our overall winners. We also celebrated those students who have demonstrated significant growth and development as writers, an achievement to be very proud of. Despite the rain, the fun continued with our Book Week dress up parade, with students bringing their favourite book characters to life.

We ended the week on a high note with an energetic performance from the JAM Band.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this such a memorable week. It has been a wonderful celebration of creativity, learning and the strong community spirit we share at Brighton.

Warm Regards, Rebecca

On Monday 24th August 2026, our Year 3 students proudly represented our school at the RoboCup State Competition held at St Peter’s College. Our On Stage team showcased their creativity, teamwork and problem-solving skills as they brought their performance to life. We are thrilled to announce that the team achieved an outstanding 3rd Place! Congratulations to our Year 3 students for their hard work, dedication and fantastic team spirit. We are incredibly proud of their achievement!

On Friday 28th August, the Yarlu Hub students enjoyed an exciting JAM Band incursion filled with music, energy and fun! Students had the opportunity to join in, and experience the joy of singing, performing and making music together. It was a fantastic way for students to build confidence, teamwork and creativity while enjoying a lively musical experience. A wonderful time was had by all!

This year, we had a new competition for our Year 4–6 students, the Bookface photography Competition! This competition involved lining up your own face or body with a book cover to create a clever and creative visual illusion.

The entries we received were fantastic, so imaginative and thoughtfully put together. The judges found it very difficult to choose the winners because the standard was so high.

Congratulations to our winners: Poppy (Townsend 9), Hamish (Townsend 9), and Lola (Townsend 9). Each winner received a $10 voucher for Scholastic Book Club.

Well done to everyone who entered, your creativity and enthusiasm made this year’s competition a great success. Keep reading, keep creating, and we look forward to seeing even more brilliant bookfaces next year!
