Ibis Flyer 13th September 2024

As we progress through the last few weeks of Term 3, I have reflected on what a wonderful term we have had and there is still plenty to look forward to. This Friday 13 September we have our Move and Groove event. We are delighted to bring our community together with the support of Balnarring Football, Cricket, Netball, Tennis, Basketball and Soccer Clubs as well as some of our very talented parent musicians.

Have you met our two new kids? Last week we had two new baby goats join us. They will be with us until the end of the year, we take care of them by bottle feeding them and spending time with them until they go back to their dairy farm. What a wonderful experience for our students to be part of raising these beautiful kids and having them become part of our Balnarring Primary School Community. Each class will have the opportunity to put forward some options for names with the final names being announced at our next assembly.

There is a very exciting buzz in the air with the Olympics happening. During one of my recess announcements this week I shared a reflection of how during one of the Matilda’s games where they were trailing behind significantly, they later came back to win.

To say that I will be incredibly sad to leave Balnarring Primary School at the end of this term is an understatement. When I walked in these doors 3 years ago, I had no intention of ever leaving, because I recognised what a beautiful place it is. From the natural learning environments, the high standards expected of our students and of each other but most importantly as I mentioned at our Foundation 2025 information night, the people that walk through these doors each and every day. We have the most incredibly dedicated staff who care very deeply for the students that they teach and their families. They go above and beyond to provide the best learning experiences for their students and are very passionate learners themselves.

How fortunate we have been with the weather in the last couple of weeks. There is certainly a happiness that goes along with the lovely days.

Anne, Krysha, Georga Bryant (School Council President) and Conor Mullan (long standing School Council member) and I met with a group of parents today to discuss our work and response to the issue in Kirinari. Kerri Collins had several questions from other parents that we discussed along with other queries. I urge all parents to call and make a time to meet or chat on the phone with me if you have any questions or queries that you have not been answered through COMPASS communications. I am always more than happy to meet with parents and families. When we communicate directly and work together, we can solve many issues and come up with great solutions and outcomes for our students.

Welcome Back to Balnarring Primary School for 2024 to all our existing community members and our new families that have joined us in 2024! I hope this finds you all in high spirits and ready for another fantastic term at Balnarring Primary School. It brings me great joy to welcome everyone back after the holiday break. It was truly heartwarming to see the excitement and happiness radiating from everyone as families returned in the school grounds.
