HOLIDAYS

We wish all the students and their families a wonderful break. The student’s

first day back is Tuesday 23rd July and all staff resume on Monday 22nd

July for the School Development Day.

Hoping the break gives students and staff a chance to rest up for Term 3.

HARMONY DAY CONCERT

Well done to all the students who performed in our Harmony Day concert. It

was a spectacular performance. Thank you to all the parents who were

able to join us despite the cold. A big thank you to Mrs Singh and her team

for the organisation of the event.

Congratulations to the staff and 6A for the sausage sizzle which raised

$1045 profit!

WALKATHON

Thank you to the P & C for organising the walkathon-a fundraising event to

assist in making a donation to the school for acquiring extra resources for

your children.

PARENT INTERVIEWS

If you missed your interview, please ring and make an appointment to meet

with the teacher early next term. All reports are handed out at the

interviews. It is important that you catch up with the teacher, to find out how

best to help your child.

TERM 3- CLASSES

2G: Term 3, Mrs Leslie will be returning part time. Mrs Leslie will be

teaching 2G on a Monday and Thursday and Mrs Georges will continue

teaching 2G on Tuesday, Wednesday and a Friday.

If you have any questions, please ring and have a chat.

Ms O’Brien will be on leave for the first 11 days of Term 3.

BIKES and SCOOTERS

Just a reminder, if you ride a bike or scooter to school, you need to secure

them with a padlock.

WOOLWORTHS EARN and LEARN

Thank you to all the parents who have collected stickers to assist us to

reach the grand total of 19,260 compared with the total in 2018 of 12,000.

These points allow the school to gain new equipment for free..

UNIFORM SHOP

Shirts are now available in all sizes.

SCHOOL ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF

Mrs Stephenson has successfully applied for a transfer. We wish her all the best in her new school and

thank her for her contribution to Blacktown West. .

Where is Zero the Hero?

K-2 classes have been counting the number of school days this year. Every time it got to a “zero” day, their

hero appeared with a fun maths activity to help them with place value. Wednesday 3rd July marked 99

days. Awful Agent 99 came and too Zero for a walk. K-2 had to become secret number cruncher agents to

rescue Zero the Hero to celebrate 100 days of learning. They received an ID

card with their fingerprint, completed an obstacle course with large dice to

race to 100, built a tower out of 100 cups and built a creative LEGO

structure using 100 pieces of LEGO. Once all challenges were complete, the

class was presented with a clue. At the end of the day, all the clues were put

together to make a sentence to explain where Zero the Hero was – on top of

the basketball ring!

100 Days of School

Celebration

Thank you to all the K-2 parents who have joined their child to celebrate the 100 days of school. Teachers, students and parents worked together to play fun maths games to promote a love of numbers and a deeper understanding of place value. We are proud of what the students and teachers have achieved in the first 100 days of learning at school. We look forward to the next 100 days of learning at BWPS! What a fun day of number crunching!

CONGRATULATIONS
