Principal’s MessageWelcome Back Term 3! We welcome new and returning families to a busy and eventful Term 3. We have our Prep enrolment information tour and community BBQ in the Prep play area on 12 August 5.30pm-6.30pm. This is a time to meet teachers, tour our newly renovated classrooms and share the great things that occur in the life of a Prep student at TBSS. Friday 20 August is the Relay for Life ‘Colour Run’ to raise money for the Cancer Council. Book Fair and Book Week kick-off Monday 23 August to celebrate students’ love of reading while providing the opportunity to dress up as their favourite book character. Please ensure your children are coming to school every day with a full belly, showing pride by wearing their full school uniform. A healthy breakfast and lunch kickstart students’ brains for learning. We look forward to a great term ahead.
NAIDOC Week Celebrations – Embedding Indigenous Perspectives in Learning Our NAIDOC Parade was a huge success. Embedding Indigenous perspectives into our learning is a vital part of the Australian Curriculum. Students experienced an engaging parade filled with songs, dance and storytelling. Activities through the week provided opportunities for students to enhance their learning around the significance of NAIDOC.
School Infrastructure - Update Each week we make strong progress toward having the best facilities for our students. The Prep rooms are close to completion. Our Hall has been upgraded with new LED lighting, cladding and soon to be installed is a 5m x 3.4m high definition screen. This will be used weekly at parade, during PE lessons, events like presentation nights and student leader inductions, school musicals and even the State of Origin. Our Stop, Drop, Go and carpark has been ‘stopped and ‘dropped’ however, I have been informed that work is due to recommence on the 26 July.
School Opinion Survey – Your feedback is welcome The School Opinion Survey is open until Friday, 30 July 2021. To have your say, check your email for an invitation from the Department of Education titled School Opinion Survey for parents and caregivers, 2021. The survey can be completed as soon as the invitation is received and will take approximately 5 minutes using a computer, tablet or smart phone. Can’t find your invitation? If your family has more than one parent/caregiver, check that they haven’t received the invitation and/or check your junk email folder.
Yours in education Dan Hollis Principal

Term 3 YOUNG SCHOLARS
Everything OLD is
NEW again!
This term, the MakerSpace Marvels Young Scholars program are
using all the renovations in the school as their inspiration! Instead
of throwing out tired furniture students are giving it a new lease
on life and are repurposing chairs, bookcases or tables, using their
knowledge of the design process and technology skills. These items
will then find new life in the school!
