ANZAC DAY

Our school ANZAC DAY Ceremony will be held on Thursday 24^th April at 12pm. All students from Years 3-6 will attend. The junior students will attend a practice ceremony earlier in the day.

As this is a formal event, senior students are asked to wear their formal uniform, they will not be required to wear this on the first Tuesday back of term, as there will be no assembly.

Parents are welcome to attend this ceremony. We ask that any parents attending are seated before the ceremony begins at 12pm.

Jiu Jitsu

During Term 1, a group of our Year 3 students had the opportunity to participate in a Jiu Jitsu program, and it has been a hit! The students have thoroughly enjoyed learning the discipline and techniques of this martial art. Due to the positive feedback, we are excited to offer this program to students in other year levels as well. An Expression of Interest (EOI) will be sent out early in Term 2 for those interested in joining.

Indigenous Cultural Activities Committee Meeting

If you're interested in helping and can commit to attending one meeting per term, please join us and share your ideas.

Please RSVP by emailing: admin@baringass.eq.edu.au, so we can plan for numbers.

Bag Tags and Toys: A Reminder to Students and Parents

Recently, there have been a number of reports from students about items going missing at school. Many of these items are attached to the outside of their school bags. While staff do their best to ensure the safety of students' belongings, it’s important to remember that bringing items of sentimental or monetary value to school can increase the risk of them being misplaced or taken.

To help reduce the chances of this happening, I’ve asked all Year 3 students to limit the number of tags on their bags to just one. This will help minimize the number of items that could potentially go missing.

Additionally, we kindly ask parents to encourage students to leave toys at home. This simple step will make it easier for everyone to keep track of belongings and ensure a smoother school day.

Thank you for your support in keeping our students' items safe!
