FROM THE PRINCIPAL AND ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL Dear Parents and Families Student Leaders Investiture On Tuesday we presented our student leaders with their badges at a special assembly. It was indeed a very proud moment for our student leaders and their families. The teachers too have watched this group of children grow over the years to emerge as responsible, self motivated young people. Special guests Stephanie and James, School Captains in 2012, addressed the assembly. As past students they related fond memories of their time at our school and encouraged all students to enjoy the moment and strive to be the best they can be. Congratulations to the following students leaders:

Friendship Ambassador Daisy, Paige, Tom, Isabel, Tia, Leon, Skye, Bella, Charlotte, Sophie, Peter, Ash, J.J., Savannah, Scott, Jasmine, Purdey, Courtney, Harvey, Summer

The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is now open and Beaumaris Primary School is excited to be participating. The Challenge is open to all Victorian children from birth to Year 10 in recognition of the importance of reading for literacy development.

Children from Prep to Year 2 are encouraged to read or ‘experience’ 30 books with their parents and teachers. Children from Year 3 to Year 10 are challenged to read 15 books. All children who meet the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the Victorian Premier and can choose to have their name included on the online Honour Roll. If you would like your child‘s name to appear on the Honour Roll, please sign the attached form and return it to your school.
