It was a lovely day down on the school oval; chilly because of the wind but still a nice day to be running around! This year was the closest we’ve ever seen the results as far as I can remember. The difference between 1st and 4th was just 8 points. Having close scores mean that each team participated and “ribboned” fairly equally which is a great reflection of the day! Ingram – 248 Sambell – 250 Kerferd – 253 Fletcher – 256 We found ourselves with an extra hour up our sleeves in the middle of the day so we

A wonderful connection to the community today as we joined the ANZAC Day March in Beechworth in memory of those who gave so much. Thank you to our students, families and staff who came out this morning and marched with us, to Poppy and Hayden for representing us as a school with our wreath presentation and to Michelle Christesen for our beautiful flowers. Congratulations to Beechworth RSL on an excellent ANZAC Day Service. Lest we forget.

Well it’s almost that time of the year when the senior school students take to the stage to perform for the wider school community. This years production will be held at the Beechworth Memorial Hall on Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th of June. The performance will be a comedic musical titled ‘Rock Bottom’, set in prehistoric times when dinosaurs roamed and no one wore shoes!! The students received their roles before the holidays and hopefully have found some time in their busy social schedules to become familiar with their part. I’ve been busy getting costumes and props together

To celebrate Harmony Day this year, a group of students worked with indigenous artist Treahna Hamm to complete a colourful mural at Beechworth Primary School. The mural represents both our local area as well as our links with indigenous culture and our sister school in Indonesia. The students used inspiration from the local environment around Beechworth to represent Australia, including native animals, the hills and trees. For the Indonesian part they drew on batik-style designs of tropical flowers and jungle vines as well as tropical fruit. Tying it all together is a bright blue swirl, which can be used to

On the 14th-15th of March the Royal Flying Doctor Service simulator visited Beechworth Primary School. The instructors, Tom and Campbell, spoke to the students about the important role the Royal Flying Doctors Service plays in the community. The students visited the aeroplane simulator and viewed the important equipment carried by the Service. There wasn’t a lot of room in the aircraft and the bed for patients wasn’t very wide. It was exciting to see a full sized section of a working aircraft at Beechworth Primary School!

The turn around in swimming was super quick this year. DISTRICT SWIMMING District swimming was on Tuesday 19th Feb at Chiltern Pool. We had 13 students qualify for district swimming. Thank goodness it was a cooler day as our job was the official timer who sat pool sit verifying the times of all races. Thanks to all the parents who came along and cheered on the BPS team and helped me regularly remind them to slip, slop, slap 🙂 The students included: Max R Henry D Jarrah E Oliver R Matthew M Thea F Eva D Poppy V Jade L Ruby

The Senior Art classes have finished off the year by completing an individual canvas work. These works have always been a favourite for the older kids, they have the chance to show how much they’ve learned through their Senior Art years. For the year 3’s, it was an opportunity to create an art work for a specific audience. The students were free to choose the medium which they used for their final piece, it could have been an oil pastel drawing, a collage, a pencil drawing or many other things, most students decided to paint their work. Below are some
