BVS VALUES: TEAMWORK RESPECT FUN DIGNITY SUPPORT
BVS VISION Our students will graduate as happy, confident individuals who do their best to
communicate and interact positively with others, be as independent as possible and make their own choices,
be actively involved in and contribute to their community, continue to learn and experience success in their future pathways.
PRINCIPAL REPORT POST SCHOOL OPTIONS INFORMATION EVENING We were pleased to see so many families and students attend this important meeting. A wide range of service providers, the NDIA, Kate Marshall (past parent), Victoria Marshall (past student) and BVS staff were in attendance to give information and answer questions. It is good to see that families are keen to start the planning process earlier, rather than leave it until the final year of school. Our experience indicates that the earlier planning is undertaken, the more ready students are for their post school life. Families are advised that services offer Open Days and we strongly urge you to attend these. The school distributes this information via its newsletter (when we receive notification of them). We advise the school community that Gerard Corbett is our new “contact” at NDIA.
