From the Principal
The Boat Harbour Primary School Athletics Carnival was a wonderful event for our school community to come together. The support shown for students from parents, grandparents and friends was outstanding. This support enables students to feel valued, connected and encourages them to be their best. Thank you for making the time to attend, the importance of this cannot be over emphasised.
At the carnival students showcased excellent sportsmanship, teamwork, persistence and participation. While running is not for everyone, we encourage students to try their best at everything they do. For those students that are strong runners, it was fantastic to see them shine. These students in Grade 3 – 6 made the BHPS Athletics team to compete in Penguin on March 13th.
The Boat Harbour Primary School Association held their Annual General Meeting last night. It was fantastic to have Kathryn Dixon, Pip Sadler, Maire Maccana, Pippa Mills, Narelle Edwards, Teresa Regan and Kristy Russell nominated and accepted to represent parents on the School Association. These members join Mandy McNamara, Kearah Baker, Georgette Moore and Merian Ellis as current sitting members. All of these people are your voice on the Association. Please always feel welcome to speak with any members to discuss Boat Harbour Primary School, supporting our school in continuing its excellent pathway forward.
Congratulations to Kathryn Dixon for being elected as Association President and to Pip Sadler as Vice-President. Narelle Edwards will continue as Association Treasurer and Mandy McNamara as Secretary.
The Association will continue to inform policy driven structures across the school and directly align these with the recent changes to the Education Act.
The Boat Harbour Primary School Parents & Friends (P&F) will return to working as a separate group, with the primary focus to support school events and fundraising to benefit all students. The P&F have some exciting things in the pipeline for 2019! If you are interested and can contribute in any way to the P&F I know that you will be made extremely welcome.
