Our Website: http://www.belvedereparkps.vic.edu.au Belvedere Park’s website has been up and running in its new format since 2015. On it you can find copies of notices and forms, access to newsletters and other information you may find useful. You can register on the site to have the school newsletter emailed to you. I hope you’ve had an opportunity to have a look. We’ll be building further on the site as we progress through 2016. Tiqbiz: http://tiqbiz.com/au/ Tiqbiz is our app for sending messages to parents. We use it for excursion, camp and special event reminders right across the school. We are able to specify the grade levels that the messages are sent to so that parents aren’t bombarded with messages that don’t apply to the grade level of their child/ren. You just download the app to your mobile device, PC or Mac, register and log in. Select the grade levels you want to access and you’re done! See the instructions following.

HOCKEY CLINICS

Last week children in Grade 3/4 and 5/6 were lucky enough to participate in hockey clinics. We had Hockey Victoria visit us to teach the boys and girls the basics of hockey. They commented on their excellent behaviour and

the children had great fun learning new skills and drills.
