A Message From The Principal What a term it has been! It has been an unsettled term on lockdown / Remote Learning, back on site, lockdown / Remote Learning, back on site – then only half the school back on-site. I could not be prouder of how the staff at Bellaire PS have handled this term and how the community have supported the school and staff during the Remote Learning period. It’s been tough, tough on everyone (and still is), however the way the students, families and community have come together during this time is to be celebrated! THANK [...]

A Message From The Principal Welcome to SPRING! We have had some beautiful weather to start spring and hopefully more to come in the future! I hope everyone was able to get outside and enjoy the sunshine while it lasted. We are at the end of Week 8 of Term 3. As this is written, no return date has been set in stone, with a decision to be made at a later date dependent on the trends over the next few days and week. While the news isn’t entirely surprising given the rising case numbers in Melbourne and local [...]

A Message From The Principal RETURN TO SCHOOL We were excited to have the students return to onsite on Wednesday. It was lovely to see their smiling faces – we could have done without the rain and hail right-on pick-up time! PARENT / TEACHER INTERVIEWS Our teachers have relayed how it was fantastic to speak to parents via Webex on Wednesday afternoon. It was disappointing that these could not be held in person, however it is a reflection of the times and last-minute adjustments to ensure we can still provide these opportunities to our community. [...]

A Message From The Principal We are half way through Term 2 – the term is flying by! As always, there are lots of things happening in our school. We are very proud of our students and the way they conduct themselves on the excursions they have been attending recently. On Monday I was lucky to attend an excursion to Barwon Grange with a Year 1 class. I was impressed with not only the student’s behaviour but also their enthusiasm for learning – and how exciting it was to travel on a bus! We are looking forward to the [...]
