ROCK BOTTOM – BORONIA HEIGHTS PS 2025 PRODUCTION
Our 2025 whole school production ‘Rock Bottom’ is fast approaching. It will be on Wednesday 30th July and Thursday 31st July at the Besen Centre (Mt. Scopus Memorial College, Station St, Burwood).
Please note that all Prep – 4 students will only perform one night. All Prep – 4 siblings should be scheduled for the same night. Please let Mr. Fox know if siblings have been accidentally scheduled on different nights. All Year 5 and 6 students will perform both nights.
Last term, all families with a Prep – 4 student should have received a notice informing them which night their child is performing, the Wednesday or Thursday. If you did not receive this notice, please email Mr Fox at simon.fox@education.vic.gov.au and he will let you know your child’s performance night.
Tickets have gone on sale through Try Booking (online sales only) on Monday 26th May, at 6.00pm. We scheduled an evening time for tickets to go on sale, so working parents were not disadvantaged. Adult tickets are $30 and Child Tickets (under 16) are $20. Please note that student performers do not require a ticket on their performance night.
Library News
We had a fabulous time last Wednesday for National Simultaneous Storytime when our Library captains, Blake, Alonzo, Aster and Tyler, read The Truck Cat to us in the gym. BHPS was one of over 16,000 locations nationwide to participate in this special story-time event. A great story shared brings connection, helps students with reading and writing skills and their development of language and communication. Thank you to Blake, Alonzo, Aster and Tyler for such a wonderful whole school event, you all read so beautifully and engaged the audience.
Scholastic Book Club catalogues will come home this week. All orders can be made via Loop on the Scholastic website or cash payments in an envelope with your completed order form. Please hand cash orders to the office. When you purchase a book through Book Club it also supports our reading at school, as we receive a percentage of commission to purchase new books for our Library. To view the catalogue online or place an order online follow this link https://scholastic.com.au/book-club/book-club-parents/
Book Club Orders are due by: FRIDAY 13th June
Keep adding every book you read into the Premier’s Reading Challenge! We have over 100 students who have completed the reading challenge so far and 5C are in the lead for the pizza lunch prize! BHPS students have read a total of 8,902 books so far this challenge. We still have 100 days of the challenge to go.
Next term in August, we will have our Book Week celebrations. Book Character dress up day will be held on Monday 18th of August. Families are welcome to join in the celebrations at our parade at 9.15am. The upcoming holidays are always a good time to think about costumes and get creative with ideas. Students can wear a costume that represents their favourite book character, this could be a t-shirt, decorated hat or a whole outfit.
Happy Reading!
