Dear Parents, Carers and Community Members
QUIZ NIGHT
Last Friday night our P&C held the school’s annual Quiz Night as a fundraiser to support our school. This was a wonderful night attended by over 100 people who participated in a range of fun activities to raise funds for the P&C Association.
On behalf of our school community I would like to thank Lauren Harry and the P&C Executive for their ongoing support of the school with special thanks and congratulations go to Lilly Separovich for her work as overall organiser of the night. Lilly did an amazing job of coordinating the whole event which also included hosting it on the night and ensuring that it ran as smooth as possible. Her hours and hours of work guaranteed that this occasion was highly successful and her hard work and efforts are appreciated by all in our school community!
A special thanks also goes to Mrs Weir for spending countless hours developing all of those brain teasing questions! We also appreciate and acknowledge the dedication and effort of Mrs Stott, Mr Sweetman, Ms Johns, Mrs Fontaine and Mrs Slade who helped make this night a success.
WAGSM MUSIC CONCERT
In Week Three our school choir performed at the WA Government Schools Music festival at the Crown Theatre. In short, our children were outstanding and performed their items superbly with genuine enthusiasm and an appropriate attitude. They were an absolute credit to our school and their families.
My sincere thanks go to Ms Cheong, our senior choir conductor for her outstanding work and commitment to this aspect of our school. Thanks also go to Ms Laverty for her support of this event. Our choir is next performing at One Big Voice at the RAC Arena on Friday, 30 August.
BOOK WEEK 2019
Each year across Australia, the Children’s Book Council of Australia brings children and books together celebrating CBCA Book Week. During this time schools, libraries, booksellers, authors, illustrators and children celebrate Australian children's literature and you will often see children's book character parades and talented librarians creating amazing displays.
At Bertram, our children are participating in a range of activities across this week to promote reading and the love of books. As you can see from the photos below today’s Book Week parade was a wonderful event and our thanks go to all families who supported and assisted with children’s costumes across the school.
COMMUNITY CHAT
Our next Community Chat session is scheduled for this Friday, the topic will be Child Health and Well-being presented by Mr Myers. Commencing at 8.45am in our staff room, I encourage all parents / carers to consider attending.
Have a wonderful fortnight.
