100 Days of Learning As a whole school we celebrated 100 days of learning since the beginning of the year on the 26th of June. A number of students and staff dressed up in line with the theme of 100 days. This could be dressing up as an 100 year old person, a party outfit to celebrate or make a customised shirt. Students will completed a range of fun activities relating to this day in their classrooms. We all had a great time celebrating this milestone and our wonderful students’ achievements.
Coffee Thank You Day Staff and students would like to say thank you to our families and community members for such a busy semester. Students will be busy next week preparing some special treats to serve with a choice of a take away coffee or tea. Student and staff will be holding this event on the last day of term, Friday 3rd of July. A RSVP note has been sent home with students this week. Please respond with your attendance and beverage preferences by Wednesday 1st July. We look forward in seeing as many families as possible.

Family Assembly Family Assembly will be on 3rd of July and it will be hosted by Class 2 at school for classes and staff to attend. Unfortunately, we still can’t have families onsite due to COVID-19. We will share a YouTube link on our school Facebook page and on Seesaw for families and community members to view.
Farewell to Rob RentonRecently one of our long term bus driver’s had his last day working with our school. It is with sadness that we say goodbye to Robert Renton who has been transporting our students to school for 7 years. We wish Rob all the best in his retirement.
Community Awareness and Contact information
As with all holiday periods, we ask families
to report any unusual activity they may
see in and around the school
grounds. This can be done to the school
mobile on 0407 582 813 or the School
Security Unit on 1300 880 021.
New Maths Resources The school has recently invested a substantial amount of money and time in establishing a large resource bank for the teaching of Mathematics. Each classroom has new hands-on materials to support all strands of the Maths syllabus. Next term, teachers will undergo additional professional learning around the implementation of a whole-school Maths program.
New Students We are once again delighted to welcome three new students to Bullimbal in the coming weeks. Two new Kindergarten students will be joining the junior classrooms and a former student will be returning to our school after moving back into the region. We trust you will join us in making everyone feel welcome and supported as they join the Bullimbal family.

Green and Red ChoicesAt Bullimbal, we use green and red choices with the students when talking about behaviour. Recently they have been updated to allow for consistency across the school. We have attached a copy to the newsletter if you wish to discuss these with your child. Please contact the school if you would like a laminated copy for
home use.
