Prep Transition

This week, we had our first Prep Transition session for Prep students starting at Bonbeach PS in 2023. It was fantastic to meet all of our future students and parents. We will be holding two transition sessions next week on Tuesday 22^nd November and Wednesday 23^rd November followed by a half-day session on the State-wide Transition Day on Tuesday 13^th December. Group and session times have been emailed to families who have a child starting in Prep in 2023.

Farmers’ Market

We were fortunate to have sunshine on Sunday for our Farmers' Market. We had 1051 adult visitors to the market and was great to see many families out in the sunshine enjoying the market. Thank you to our volunteers for their help on the day. Without volunteers, this market could not run.

Parent volunteers: Glen J, Esther V, Dave G, Robert D, Shane C, Joanne F, Kate A, Gina W, Nicky P, Mayumi W, Kara M, Sonja C, Pam P, Mandy K, Brett S, Daniel B, Steve H, Jody S-C, Jon C, Anita P, Amy D

Staff: Ms Felmingham

Students: Brigitte R, Jacques R, Charlotte S, Owen P, Bridget K, Summer J, Alle W, Sienna H

Funds raised from the egg and bacon BBQ will go towards supporting our Year 6 Graduation. All other funds raised from the market this month will go towards our fundraising efforts for an additional bike shed.

Our last market for the year, will be held on Sunday 11^th December. We will once again be raising money for Year 6 Graduation through the egg and bacon BBQ and funds raising from entry gate donations and stall holder fees will be going towards the new bike shed.

This year, Bonbeach Primary School is participating in a competition called Energy Breakthrough in Maryborough. Energy Breakthrough is made of 2 teams, Pushcart and HPV (Human Powered Vehicle).

CHRISTMAS GIFTING

Christmas is only a few weeks away and we realise that it can be a difficult time for many families. We are encouraging our students to help share the true spirit of Christmas by donating a new gift for children less fortunate.

Please place the unwrapped gifts in the box in the office by December 14 and they will be collected by Mums Supporting Families in Need to be delivered in time for Christmas.

We appreciate this year has been tough for much of our community and thank all our families for your continued support and generosity.
