Prep News
Welcome to all our new prep students and families who have joined BayView State School. Our students have been busily working on trying to navigate their way into primary school life!
From Week 3, our prep students will be concluding school at 2:40pm, not 2pm. Parents/guardians are requested to wait at the Central Covered area to avoid congestion along the spine and on the cemented blocks around the Early Years space.
There has been a Prep Family BBQ Invitation sent out to our students. This is an opportunity for our community to come together and celebrate our prep students. Please return this form by no later than this Friday 14 February to Corporate Services.
We will also be holding our Puggles Playgroup on Thursday 27th February at the Advancement Centre from 8:35-9:30am, from Weeks 5-9 of Term 1. Please RVSP to sferr48@eq.edu.au if interested in being part of this program, as numbers will be limited to 15.
Please note there will be no Parade for Preps until Week 7. This is to allow settling in time for Prep students!

Year 1 & 2 News
Our Year 1 cohort has settled nicely, transitioning into the main area of the school. They have been busily learning to understand different areas of the school at large; and learning to follow clear routines and structures.
Our Year 2’s have also been working on building their Literacy Understandings and some have already started to work on their PLD Synthetics Program, which has been great to see!
A big shout out to Mrs. Jones from 2Y who will be leading a New Zealand cultural experience with select students across our school and presenting their work to our local community.
Just a reminder that our next parade for Years 1 & 2 will be on 25 February at 2pm in the Hall.

BayView Values
Please continue to set the example by teaching our students, the school values! How can this also look at home and in our bigger community.
