Dear Community,
Welcome to Week 3, Term 3!
The term has started well. Already lots of activities and events have been happening across the Primary School. Both the ELC and 3-6 enjoyed Nadioc celebration and activities. We have also seen some fantastic assemblies and worships taking place at both campuses.
Over the coming week here are a few events taking place at the Primary School.
ELC
Mrs Bayfield’s class in Pre Primary will be showcasing their assembly at the ELC at 9am on Friday 12 August. Parents, family, and friends of PPB are welcome to attend.
3-6
Some of our students are attending the IPSHA Academic Challenge at St Mary’s AGS this afternoon. We wish them luck as they compete against other schools in Perth.
Friday 12 August – Congratulations to those students participating in State Cross Country. We wish you luck.
Also on Friday, the Year 6 students have an excursion to Literature Centre.
We have received several complaints regarding parents, grandparents or family friends parking in the Kiss and Drive area during peak times. Parking in this area really limits the flow of traffic and causes safety issues for our students who are coming to or from school. Do not park in these zones during drop-off or pick up times. If your child needs assistance getting into or out of the car, you must park and collect your child.
We are finding that a number of grandparents and family friends are not aware of this information and therefore not using the kiss and drive correctly. Please ensure that if you have someone coming to the school on your behalf, they have a A4 sign in the car with the student’s name and class clearly marked and are aware of the process. Last semester our staff repeatedly had to deal with hostile behaviour when they asked people not to park or get out of the car. Thank you for working with our staff and students and keeping the community safe and moving.
Have a wonderful week ahead.
Hannah Lockwood-Jones and Andrew Johnston
