School Newsletter Week 10 Term 3
From the Relieving Principal
That’s a Wrap on Term 3!
Another busy and productive term has just flown past. As we reflect on all we’ve celebrated and achieved, it’s clear that Term 3 has been full of highlights. We enjoyed Education Week, Science Week, Book Week, and the excitement of Cath’s Cup. Our performing arts groups have competed in eisteddfods, performed at the Opera House, and entertained crowds at the Festival of the Winds. Meanwhile, our PSSA teams wrapped up a successful season of competitive sport, with several teams finishing in the top three. Our Year 6 students have just headed off to a three day camp.
In addition to a packed term of teaching and learning, our staff have completed the External Validation process, continued to embed the English and maths curricula and begun familiarisation of the new creative arts and science syllabuses.
And our parent body has been busy - organising the highly successful City2Surf and Father's Day events. It’s been a term of great effort and achievement, and I think we’re all entitled to feel a little proud—and perhaps a little tired!
We hope everyone enjoys a well-deserved, restful break and returns refreshed for Term 4.
Please note: Classes will resume on Tuesday, 14 October, marking a change from last year when Term 4 began on a Monday.

Week 10 Update
Public Speaking Final - Kindergarten & Stage 1
Congratulations to Sash in Kindergarten and Freya in Stage 1 for proudly representing our school at the Metropolitan Public Speaking competition network final 2025 this week. We are thrilled to celebrate Sash’s achievement in winning second place in the Kindergarten category. Well done to both students for their confidence and excellent efforts in prepared and impromptu speeches!
Year 1 Mathematics
In Year 1, students have been enthusiastically exploring the concept of measurement as part of their mathematics learning. They have been hands-on with a variety of activities that help them to begin to explore standard units of length, like 1m is 100cm. Through fun and engaging tasks, the children are developing their skills in comparing sizes, ordering items, and using simple measuring tools. This foundational experience not only builds their numeracy skills but also encourages curiosity and practical problem-solving, making measurement an exciting part of their learning journey.
Year 6 Camp
Early this morning, an excited group of Year 6 students headed off to Tea Gardens for a three day outdoor adventure camp. They'll spend the next few days in a range of activities including canoeing, raft making, the giant swing and mud world. From the photos they sent back today, they're already having a great time.

What a weekend for our Bondi Beach PS netballers at the ESCPSNA finals. A huge congratulations to our Year 6 Manta Rays, who took out the Grand Final, defeating the Clovelly Swifties 23–15. What a way to finish the season!
Our Year 6 Breakers also had a fantastic game, going down fighting but loving every moment of their last season together. We’re so proud of all 8 teams from Years 2–6 who represented our school this year. You played with such great spirit, teamwork, and Bondi Beach pride; well done everyone.

Ethics at BBPS
Ethics classes are weekly discussion-based lessons available for students who don’t attend Special Religious Education (Scripture). Students explore topics like fairness, honesty, kindness and making good decisions. They learn to listen to others, think carefully about different ideas and reasons and share their views in a respectful and supportive space.
Find out what ethics classes are all about by registering here for one of the upcoming 1-hour online sessions.
