Hello everyone
Welcome back to our wonderful school for Term 2. I hope everyone had an
enjoyable Easter vacation and is looking forward to another great term at
Browns Plains.
Having the cross country in the first week (23 April) is a great way to begin
the new term and I look forward to seeing the students having heaps of fun
competing in their house colours with all their friends.
Our ANZAC ceremony this Friday will showcase our students’ respect for
our country and those who have served to protect it.
I thank Isaac Grayson and Lorrelle Lally for the lead they have taken in
organising this ceremony. All parents and families are invited to attend this
ceremony being held in our hall starting at 9:30am. I will also be
representing the school at the formal ceremony being held at the Greenbank
RSL on this Saturday at 9:30am. I encourage all students and families to join
me in representing our school.
Finally I am very pleased to announce that Amy Wasley and Nicky Guraya
have both been permanently appointed to our school. Both have worked at
Browns Plains and it is a fantastic outcome for our school that they will both
continue to be a valuable part of our school for the foreseeable future.
Kind Regards
Andrew Beattie
Principal

ANIMAL WELFARE VISIT
In week 2 term 2 we are looking forward to a
visit from education officers from The Animal
Welfare League. This organisation offers
professionally developed education programs
designed to educate about responsible
animal care. Children learn about attending to
the needs of animals in their care and how to
reduce the number of unwanted animals in
the community as well as various other
aspects of interaction with animals. The
officers visit with specially trained animals
and the programs are structured according to
the learning needs of the children.
This organisation offers
classroom visits as a service
to the community free of
charge. How ever in
order to assist the
AWLQ in covering the
costs of the visit it kindly
requests a gold coin
donation per child
w ho attends.
All classes at our
school are attending. Our school is also
organising a hamper for the animals in the refuge.
Any donations of cat or dog food in
particular w ould be very much appreciated. This
organisation has conducted this program in our
school on a number of previous occasions and
their presentations have been valued and enjoyed
by both staff and students. AWLQ makes a very
w orthwhile contribution to our community and it is
important that our community is supportive of
such organisations that make our school and our
community a better place to be.
