Kia Ora, Nǐ hǎo, Hallo, Greetings,
Welcome to our new students and their families who have recently joined us: Lesandu Dheerasinghe Arachchige and Max Mao.
Thank you to all of the parents who attended three-way conferences last week. The students were buzzing about the opportunity to share their learning from the last six months with you. Combined with Linc Ed, three way conferences are a great opportunity to see how your child is progressing and what they are currently learning. A survey will be sent out later this week to collect feedback on Linc Ed and the three way conferences.
Farewell
Sadly we say goodbye to the lovely Angela in the office at the end of the term. Angela has worked at BBPS for 16 years, both as a teaching assistant and then in the office. She has won a promotion, and is off to “big school”, working in the finance department at Botany Downs Senior College. Angela will be sorely missed. She has given so much to the school, and always with a smile. We wish her the best of luck in her new role. We will be advertising the role next term.
Term 3 News
Our next new entrant room (room 5) opens at the beginning of next term. The class is going to be shared between Marlene Jackson (Monday to Wednesday), and Sarah Bartholomew (Thursday and Friday). We look forward to welcoming our new students. If you have a child turning five next year, please fill out an enrolment form next term. This helps up to plan our numbers as much as possible.
I have been lucky to have been offered an opportunity by the Ministry of Education to shadow a Principal in a contrasting school for weeks 2 to 4, and week 6 next term. During this time Carole and Moira will capably run the school, and I remain in close contact. This is an exciting opportunity for two schools to connect and share complementary expertise, and we are also hoping to also connect classes and teachers.
Signage
A big thank you to Rachel Penny who designed our new signage outside the office and the hall, and to Wayne from Skids who paid for the signage to be replaced. What an improvement for the look of our school.
Have a great holiday. Fingers crossed the we keep seeing the sun!

A message from the NZ Police
NZ Police recently launched a new non emergency number, 105. We’ve done this to make it easier to get hold of us in the event of non-urgent situations or ‘Things which have Already Happened’, which don’t require Police assistance immediately.
You can call us on 105 for all non emergencies, or you can go online at 105.police.govt.nz to report things like:
– Lost property
– Theft for a public place or car
– Intentional property damage
– Or to get an update or add info to a previous report
In the event of an emergency, always call 111 – Things that are Happening Now.
