World Teachers’ Day: Honouring Our Wonderful Teaching Staff at BHPS
Today, on World Teachers’ Day, we pause to celebrate the incredible educators who make our school a place of learning, growth, and inspiration.
Our teachers at BHPS are more than teachers—they are mentors, nurses, counsellors, and champions for every student. They bring knowledge to life, nurture curiosity, and foster resilience. Their dedication, creativity, and care shape not only academic success but the character and confidence of our young people.
On this special day, we extend our heartfelt thanks to every teacher in our community. Your work is powerful, your impact is lasting, and your commitment does not go unnoticed.
Let’s take a moment to show our appreciation—whether through a kind word, a note of thanks, or simply recognising the difference our teachers make every single day.
Happy World Teachers’ Day!
Timetable Trial
Thank You for Supporting Our Timetable Trial
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our students, families, and staff for your support and flexibility during our recent trial of a possible new school timetable.
Your feedback, patience, and willingness to adapt have been invaluable as we explore ways to enhance learning, wellbeing, and the overall flow of the school day. Trials like this help us better understand what works best for our community, and your involvement plays a key role in shaping future decisions.
We will review the outcomes and feedback from this trial and keep you informed about next steps. Thank you again for being part of this journey toward continuous improvement.
Get Ready to Splash into Fun – Our Colour Run is Coming!
It’s time to lace up your runners, grab your white shirts, and get ready for one of the most colourful days of the year—our School Colour Run!
This isn’t just a run—it’s a celebration of energy, joy, and community. Whether you’re sprinting, jogging, or dancing your way through the course, every step is a chance to laugh, cheer, and get showered in colour. Join our staff, students, and family members for one of our biggest fundraisers on the calendar. The highest fundraisers get the opportunity to slime Mr Anderton and staff at BHPS.
The Colour Run is a reminder that movement is joyful, teamwork is powerful, and school spirit is something we can all wear proudly—especially when it’s covered in colour!
Let’s make this event unforgettable. Bring your enthusiasm, your brightest smiles, and let’s paint the day with positivity!
Trivia Night Success
A big shout out to our wonderful community for the outstanding turn-out for the BHPS Trivia Night!! Everyone came in their 80/90s best, with a special mention to the Simpsons table, the Kiss table and the Top Gun table, everyone looked great, but you guys were outstanding.
Thank you to everyone for emptying your pockets, the night raised $13,500 which will go towards the resurfacing of the basketball court. Thank you also to everyone who donated items for the school, there were amazing prizes and wonderful items in the raffles, silent auction and games. Special mention to our main sponsor Barry Plant, not only did they donate heavily, but they also bought a table to join in the fun!
A special mention must go to Mel Jones, Sarah Kiss, Mel Snibson and to the many helpers for the various jobs. Mel, Sarah and Mel worked tirelessly for many months to ensure that we had a fun and successful event, THANK YOU!!
More Baby News
We would like to wish Elise Rule all the very best as she resumes maternity leave. Elise will be leaving BHPS in a couple of weeks to have her third baby. Her warmth, dedication, and enthusiasm have made such a positive impact on the Year 5 students each Thursday. We look forward to her return and can’t wait to meet the newest addition to her family! Elise will be replaced by Sarah Weichert who will be joining 5B every Thursday starting on 27th November.
Long Weekend festivities
This weekend begins with Halloween a tradition that is growing in Australia. At its heart, Halloween reminds us of the power of tradition, the joy of play, and the importance of community. Whether you’re trick-or-treating, carving pumpkins, or enjoying a spooky story, it’s a celebration of light-hearted fun and connection.
As the excitement of the Melbourne Cup approaches, we wish all our families a safe and enjoyable long weekend. Whether you’re watching the race, spending time with loved ones, or simply enjoying a well-earned break, we hope it’s filled with fun and relaxation.
Please note that the school will be closed on Monday 3rd and Tuesday 4th November for the Melbourne Cup long weekend. We encourage everyone to take this time to recharge and return refreshed for the final stretch of the term.
Enjoy the festivities, and good luck if you’re picking a horse!
