Principal’s Report

Congratulations to all our Zone Swimmers! - We had 14 students who represented

our school at the Zone Swimming Carnival last Thursday at Engadine Pool –

Thomas K, Isabella D, Summer H, Sienna F, Adrian T, Callum G, Katelyn K, Jamie C,

Kade R, Jesse HW, Savannah D, Damien C, Oliver D and Lucas P. These students

did themselves and Bonnet Bay very proud, competing with fierce determination,

enthusiasm and wonderful sportsmanship. Thank you to Mrs Distefano who

accompanied our students on the day and for all her hard work behind the

scenes.

“BULLYING NO WAY” National Day of Action this Friday - Join us to support this

important event, reinforcing the message in our school and community that

Bullying is not OK! We will be participating in activities in our classrooms and

recognising this day on Friday 15th March. Our leaders will be leading the way.

Each student will receive a wrist band to wear to remind them of our oath.

BONNET BAY turns 40! - As we plan to celebrate our school’s 40th Anniversary this

year, I welcome any interested community members who would like to join a

small committee to drive the celebration. I have staff members and a P&C

representative keen to be a part of this committee and I welcome others to join

us with great ideas and support. As they say many hands make light work! Please

contact me with your details so we can organise a meeting and get started on

our planning of this exciting celebration.

Harmony Day - “Everyone Belongs At Bonnet Bay”. Wear Orange on Wednesday

27th March and celebrate working in harmony at our school. Remember to

choose to be kind and follow our school values of Care, Cooperation, Integrity,

Responsibility and Respect! We have a vibrant storyteller Mona Williams coming

to present to our students, covering a vast spectrum of stories including myths,

legends and heroic tales. This captivating performance on diversity drives home

the Harmony Day message of ‘Everyone belongs’. Please return your permission

continue in their absence, leaving detailed plans for their replacement teachers

Zone Swimming

It was a chilly day for our Sutherland Zone

Swimming Carnival on Thursday last week, but

nothing could stop the determination of

students from Bonnet Bay Public School!

We had 16 students competing in a variety of

Senior Boys relay team.

Congratulations to all of the students who

competed at the carnival. As always, you

upheld the BBPS values, gave your best in each

race and supported your peers.

Well done!

BASC News Friday 15th March represents the national day

of Action Against Bullying and Violence. To

increase awareness we have been busy

creating a poster together promoting

Anti-Bullying, Inclusion and Kindness. Inclusion

involves taking into account all children’s

social, cultural and linguistic diversity. Our

intent is to ensure all children’s experiences are

recognised and valued. Children learn to reach

out and communicate for comfort, assistance

and companionship. Over the next week

children will

have the

opportunity to

participate in

the Interrelate

‘Say No to

Bullying poster

Competition’.

Kindergarten Enrolments

We are taking enrolments for

Kindergarten 2020.

Our Kindergarten Information

Evening will be held on Tuesday

14th May 2019 at 7pm in our

Library.

If you have a child starting school

in 2020 or you know friends or

neighbours that do, please

spread the word.

Stewart House Clothing Appeal NSW Department of Education Charity of

Choice Stewart House has been working in

partnership with The Smith Family for more

schools in NSW run clothing drives to collect

good quality clothes and accessories for

resale or export in Smith Family stores. School

clothing drives are an important source of

good quality new and near-new clothing,

helping to keep our stock levels high.

Donated clothing must be left at school by

Wednesday 3rd April 2019.
