Principal’s Report
STEM SHARE “Meet the Maker night” -
Congratulations to Years 5 & 6 in presenting their
STEM projects. Their ability to initiate an idea, plan
and create their products in line with improving
the life of someone experiencing homelessness
was amazing. A huge thank you to Dave Drury
from Points for Purpose, for inspiring our students in
showing empathy for others. Thank you to all who
attended and contributed to raising $450 towards
purchasing 4 backpack beds for the homeless.
Well done Bonnet Bay community.
Please take a few minutes to complete the surveys below. Your opinion is
valued!
Tell them from Me Surveys-The Partners in Learning Parent Feedback Survey This
Term, our school will be participating in the Partners in Learning parent survey,
another part of the Tell Them From Me suite of surveys (student, teacher and
parent surveys) on student engagement. The survey asks parents and carers
questions about different factors that are known to impact on student learning
and engagement. This valuable feedback will help our school make practical
improvements. The survey is conducted entirely online at home or on public
computers. The survey will typically take 15 minutes or less to complete and is
completely confidential. The parent survey will be open until Saturday 26th
October. Participating in the survey is voluntary; however, your responses are very
much appreciated. To access the survey please use this Bonnet Bay PS link:
http://nsw.tellthemfromme.com/bbps2019
Reporting to Parents - As part of our reflection of practice we are conducting a
survey in regard to reviewing our Reporting to parents - Student reports. There has
been many changes recommended. We would like community consultation on
what information would best inform you of your child’s progress and future
directions. We have compiled a survey, which is the most efficient way of getting
parent voice across the whole school. Please click on the link below and
complete the survey. We as a staff will analyse the responses and will utilise the
data to form part of our decision-making on what changes we will make in the
near future. Thanking you in anticipation.

Meet The Maker 2019
Congratulations Stage 3 students, your STEM
showcase was huge! The library was packed
with visitors and enthusiastic students eager to
share their learning. Over the course of
Semester 1 students have worked on designing
and making a product aimed at assisting those
experiencing homelessness. Students have
learned many new skills and, most importantly,
have developed their empathy and
understanding towards those experiencing
homelessness in the community. We were
fortunate to have Dave from Points for Purpose
as our mentor and are thankful for the
generosity of the community who raised over
$450 on the night to purchase backpack
sleeping bags which will be distributed to those
in need.
If you would like to know how you can help
those experiencing homelessness, please have

P&C News Trivia Night - What a groovy night! We had a
fun night on Saturday raising funds for more
resources for the school. A great night was had
by all and the trivia was a tight contest. We
managed to raise over $7,000 on the evening.
Our numbers were down significantly from the
last few years, so we were pleased to have so
many generous community members help is
raise these funds.
Thank you to all the volunteers that made
Saturday night a success. Alyce Odams, Tash
Thomas, Shanan Green and Eleisha Legg did a
lot of preparation and organisation for the
evening. Jo Rogers, Jo Johnston and Gillian Hill
worked hard to get us donations for the night.
These people then helped on the night to sell
tickets and arrange silent auction items. Thank
you to the families that came down on
Saturday to help set up including the Greens,
Leggs, Puntoriero, Rogers families, Kelly Bowers,
Adam Watson and Mark Condon. I would also
like to thank everyone from the community
who supported the evening and donated
money for the school.
If you have thoughts or feedback for next years
event please let me know. You can email or
message me on
or 0435 035 340.
