On behalf of the staff, I thank you all for your hard
work and the many hours of your time that you have
invested in our school over this year!
It is greatly appreciated.
I am hoping to see you at our Parent Helpers Morning
Tea scheduled for Wednesday 26th November from
10.45-11.30 in the MPR.
School Peer Review Update
Last week Brunswick North Primary School had its
School Review Panel Day.
The teachers made presentations to the School
Review Panel on the curriculum programs and
planning undertaken during the strategic period (last
4 years) with particular focus on this year’s school
improvement strategy.
Presentations demonstrated how staff monitored and
used student achievement data to inform the
Teaching & Learning Programs at Brunswick North
Primary School. The Year 5/6 Junior School Council
Representatives also made a fantastic presentation
about student voice and leadership opportunities
within our school. The Reviewer and Panel members
were extremely impressed with the schools consistent
message about our Teaching & Learning Program and
the student’s progress and high standard of
achievement. The Reviewer noted:
“Brunswick North continues to build an extremely
positive image within the community and is being
acknowledged for some very fine achievements”
The purpose of the day is to reflect and review past
achievements whilst making constructive suggestions
and outlining strategies to guide further improvement
for our school.
The School Reviewer, Leslie Tulloch, presented the
draft School Peer Review Report at School Council last
night.
The Peer Review Report will then be sent to the
Department for processing and once that is
completed the Executive Summary will be available on
the school website. I congratulate our students whose
boundless enthusiasm for learning and participation in
school events inspires us all. I thank the parents for
their support and their active participation in all facets
of school life. I also congratulate the staff for their
hard work and commitment to continual
improvement at Brunswick North Primary School.
The Reviewer noted that:
“The work already in place demonstrates excellent
signs for further improvement”
“All staff is highly committed to the students in their
care and are willing to work together to improve
outcomes.”
“Parents contribute to many areas of the school”
The review findings demonstrate that the school is on
the right track and that all the effort that everyone in
our community puts into to creating a rich learning
environment for our students certainly does have an
effect on lifting our student learning outcomes.
Farewell to Terry Argent
This week we say farewell to Terry Argent our very
popular PE Teacher and Staff member. Terry has
certainly made a wonderful impact on our student’s
attitude to playing sports, having fun, demonstrating
fair play and resilience when things don’t go our way!
Terry leaves us after a long and wonderful career with
the Education Department - Well-done Terry- What a
great achievement!
Enjoy chasing those waves, as you will now be able to
spend more time surfing along the Victorian and NSW
coast.
L’angolo italiano
Il Coro dei bambini had a great time with Kavisha at
Princes Hill PS. We have started choreographing our
canzoni in preparation for our spettacolo! On
Wednesday I met with all of our fantastici finalisti for
La Festa del canto. We had more than 40 studenti
chosen from 120 to perform their versione of Il leone
si e` addormentato. They were all really enjoyable
with their wonderful props, costumes, pronunciation,
memorisation and dance movements! We are only
allowed to bring 16 along to our final performance at
Princes Hill. Signorina Giulia and myself wish we could
take all of them with us! Bravi to everyone for such a
brilliant effort. I have taken a video of all the
performances so if would like a copy of your child’s
presentation please send your USB (chiavetta) along
and I will save it for you.

National 'Nude Food' Day Participation
BNPS is celebrating National Nude Food days this
week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Our
students will be joining other students across the
country in bringing healthy, wrapper free lunches to
school over the month of November. Canteen
lunches can also be made into Nude Food lunches, by
providing a container from home with your child's
payment and order. Students will receive an entry
into our lunch-box draw (1 per unit) for each 'Nude
Food' day they complete.
National Nude Food Day is a chance for our students
to realise what they can do for their health and the
health of the planet. An event like this can give all of
us at BNPS a taste of the benefits, ease and fun
involved in packing a healthy, wrapper free lunch!
Thanks for your support with this,
Linda McCloskey
