In SAS Staff Recognition Week, we celebrate our School Administrative & Support Staff .

Bidwill Public School is blessed to have wonderful SAS Staff who support learning in our school. Our administrative team, school learning and support officers and general assistant are valued for the work they do in the office, in classroom settings, the library and the school grounds. 2020 has presented quite a roller-coaster ride of teaching and learning, communication and school organisation needs and our fantastic SASS staff have supported our school all the way.

If you see our incredible SAS Staff let them know how much we appreciate all that they do each and every day to support our whole school community.

Students have been engaged in Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) lessons each week focusing on specific positive expectations in all school settings. The PBL focuses are:

Week 7       Complete set tasks

Week 8       Hands and feet to self

Week 9       Speak nicely and use appropriate language

Week 10     Be friendly

Earlier this year Bidwill Preschool went through the process of Assessment and Rating which sees an assessor come and talk with us about how our preschool operates and gives us the opportunity to showcase our preschool and all of the wonderful things we do. The assessor was here for two days to observe all educators in our quality interactions with children, families and each other and then look through all of our quality processes, procedures and programs We are so very proud to announce that we were awarded an Exceeding rating for our preschool after being assessed against the 7 quality areas of the National Quality Standard.

Immunisation

We are requesting updated records for your child’s immunisation. If your child has had their 4 year old immunisation please bring a copy of the updated record to the school office. You will find this in your Mygov account. 

Preschool Payments 

Preschool payments for Term 3 are now due, if you are unable to pay please see the ladies in the school office for assistance.

Please ensure you notify the school as soon as possible of any change to your contact number and email address.  We are now sending an SMS to parents when a child is absent so it is important we have the correct phone number.  Parents please reply to the message advising us of the reason for your child's absence.  We send the school newsletter via email so please ensure we have the correct email address so you don’t miss out on receiving the newsletter.

Thank you
