Congratulations to our Grade 5 Upstanders who have this week facilitated a series of workshops for their peers focused on this year’s project theme – Having the Confidence to Speak Up. BBPS focused on teaching their fellow Upstanders how to build trust with your friends to talk about things that upset you.
Along with our network schools, our Upstanders presented their challenge via Webex earlier this week, and have used this year’s established online program to engage with each other’s ideas. Congratulations to Jodie Gates and the team for their dedication to being an Upstander, especially through this year’s interruptions.
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN HOME AND SCHOOL
As we return to face to face learning it is timely for us to seek feedback about the communication platforms we use at BBPS. The past six months has created a window for parents into our classrooms. We do not want to 'return to what was' but rather consider 'what might be' moving forward. Teachers are thinking about how we might further build the connection between home and school, and we value your thoughts too. We invite you to complete our Communication Survey. LINK
COVID UPDATE
We had the latest information ready to share with you re visitors in schools, rapid antigen testing and closure procedures. Based on today's announcement from Dan Andrews we will now share the most current DET operations with you once we receive the Department update. So if you are wondering, don't worry, its coming.
