Dear Parents/Carers,

Sorry for the late notice acknowledging this important event last weekend, the COVID updates have been taking over. Firstly,  I would like to express my thanks to the parents, grandparents, students and staff who assisted at the Busy Bee last Saturday. The weather was perfect, lunch was yummy and everyone who attended came with a positive mindset, which was to make Bull Creek Primary School a better place. I thank you all for giving up your personal time and getting in and doing whatever tasks were assigned to you. The number of families that came along really demonstrated we have a strong community spirit at Bull Creek, which I feel proud to be part of. The students have loved admiring their newly revamped playground and painted designs around the school. Please see below the P&C update about the Busy Bee.

Kind regards,

Sharon Marchenko | Bull Creek Primary School Principal

 

P&C Busy Bee & Playground Update

A huge thank you to the 38 adults and 27 students that came to help with the Busy Bee on Saturday. It was a fantastic atmosphere with lots achieved around the school including a refresh of the artwork on the walkways, some additional play equipment in the Kindy/PP area, treating the wooden play equipment and painting of the wall near the basketball court ready for a new mural.  

We’ve also been awarded $19,550 from the City of Melville Robin Hood Grants to install a Ship Shape Obstacle Course around the main playground. Thank you to everyone in the school community that voted for our project! 

Thanks,

Janelle | Bull Creek PS P&C Coordinator

National Reconciliation Week

This week is National Reconciliation Week! National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about shared histories, cultures and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. If you would like more information, we encourage you to visit nrw.reconciliation.org.au

This week we discussed the story of Australia’s sad history and why we say ‘sorry’ to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families. We made some special National Reconciliation Week hands that will be proudly displayed in front of the administration building on Wednesday for Sorry Day. We also read a special story called Finding our Heart and discussed the meaning behind National Reconciliation Week. On Monday afternoon we combined classes and friends from Banksia 1, 2 and 3 used fine motor skills (cutting and weaving) to create some purple native hibiscus flowers. These flowers are referred to as the Stolen Generation Flower.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle in Banksia 2

The students in Banksia 2 have been learning about sustainability and how to take care of our Earth. We are collecting used coffee pods for an art project later in the term. If you are a coffee drinker and have used pods that you are happy to part with, we’d love to take them off your hands!

Please donate any clean used coffee pods (the base is easy to pull off with a fork to rinse the coffee out) to

• Mrs Newton and Mrs Gleed at Willagee
• Mrs Hope at Bull Creek
• Ms Reid at Beeliar.

Thank you in advance,

The students and staff in B2
