Principal: Mr R Willetts
2nd February 2015 Principal’s Report Welcome Back! On behalf of the BPS staff I’d like to extend a very warm welcome back to the 2015 school year. A special welcome to all of our new Berry families who are joining us this year. Last week we confirmed our student numbers which allowed the formation of an additional class and moved to the 13 class model we had been anticipating. The additional class allowed us to reduce the student numbers in classes throughout the school. A huge amount of thought goes into the class structures which are formed giving consideration to a wide variety of individual, group and school-wide factors. This term we welcome back Mr Burney who will be regaling us with stories of his adventures while on exchange in Canada. Welcome also to our new teachers; Ms Ingold, Mrs Snell and Miss Marshman who have joined our team for 2015. Keeping Cool in Kindergarten Thank you to all of our parents for your support with the Best Start and Orientation programs. Kindergarten has settled in beautifully this morning and are currently beaming with smiles as they enjoy their fruit break. Show Time We all had the privilege of visiting the Berry Show together on
Friday under beautiful conditions for our first excursion. Thank you to Miss Stanger and our students who represented our school in the parade.
Thank you also to Mrs Quinn for once again preparing an amazing display of student artwork in the pavilion. Bob Willetts Show Grand Parade Thank you to the students who came along to support out school in the Berry Show Grand Parade. They did a wonderful job representing our school.

All Kinder books are now at school. Dymocks have delivered all books to the school. Purchase can be made from the school office. Year 5 and Year 6 Camp 2015 This year the senior children will be going on camp together. We have booked Berry Sport and Recreation Camp for week 8 of this term (Monday the 16th of March to Friday 20th of March). The cost of the camp will be approximately $320.00. A separate permission note, medical form will be sent this week. We are trialling our senior camp in the odd year and in the even year the seniors will have a three day two night excursion to Canberra. We have changed our camp to aid in staffing, alleviate increased cost (if we travelled by bus to another sport and rec there would an additional cost), to avoid clashes with district sporting events or activities (children may be picked up by their parents or carers for the event and returned) and also in the event of any sickness or accident parents or carers can be on hand quickly. The cost of the camp may be paid in instalments or the full amount in the coming weeks. Arrangements for children who do not wish to attend the five day camp have been considered, it will be school as normal. Please remember camp money must be finalised before week 7. Financial assistance is available for some of the cost and you will need to please advise the office if it is needed. Dean Haddon Camp Co-ordinator Uniform Shop The uniform shop will be open on Monday afternoons from 3pm. There are special shoe laces now available. For any enquiries email Sassy on [email protected] or phone 0418 865 226.
