PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE:

Dear Parents and Carers,

What a wonderful year of learning

we have had! At BVPS, with final

weeks here, we are wrapping up,

celebrating and preparing for

2017.

Our whole school community is

invited to share in the celebration

of learning at our annual

Presentation Day, Wednesday 14th

December. We are very grateful to

the many sponsors of our awards.

Today our year 5 students stood in

front of the whole school

community and presented their

speeches towards the election for

Captains for 2017. It was so

pleasing to see the strength and

leadership standing on the stage

already, best wishes to all of the

nominees.

Mrs Carolyn Nugent - Principal 21 Auckland Street BEGA NSW

With the onset of

Daylight

Savings’ and the

anticipated

School Holidays

many of our

students appear to be arriving at

school tired and missing out on

much needed sleep. Please

support your child in

maintaining regular bedtimes.

A reminder to drive carefully

through all 40km school zones

and be particularly safe when

travelling through the children’s

crossing in Auckland Street.

Wishing all of our families safe

and happy holidays, thank you

for your support this year!

Carolyn Nugent, PRINCIPAL

This will be the

IMPORTANT ROAD SAFETY REMINDER FOR

PARENTS AND CARERS THESE HOLIDAYS

As the school holidays approach, it is important to remember when walking near roads, on footpaths, near driveways and in car parks always:

hold your child’s hand Until they are at least 8 years old children need to hold an adult's hand. Until they at least 10, children should be closely supervised by an adult and hold hands when crossing the road.

talk to your child about road safety Talk about how to be safe when near roads. Be a good role model.

point out road safety dangers and differences in new environments. This is especially important when on holidays in different surroundings. Roads, footpaths and pedestrian facilities may look different in holiday areas.

The best way to keep your child safe on or near the road is to hold their hand.

Talk with your child daily about road safety.

Remind other adults and carers about this too.

You can find out more at Transport for NSW. http://roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au/stayingsafe/children/pedestriansafety.html

Have a safe holiday break!
