In what has been a very difficult time for our school community there has still been so much to celebrate and be thankful for at Belridge SC.

On Wednesday 4th March, we hosted our Year 7 Parent Teacher BBQ. It was great to see so many of you there with your families interacting with our staff and putting a face to a name. Forming a good relationship between home and school makes a massive difference to the achievement and success of our students.

Our whole school assemblies saw a significant amount of academic and attendance awards being presented to our students. A notable mention goes out to Evie Innes, receiving both the City of Joondalup Scholarship Award and the ADF Long Tan Award.

Our Student Councillors met in the city to take part in the Halogen Young Leaders Day. This was such a fantastic opportunity for our students and I know that they gained so much from being a part of this event. We also saw whole school celebrations of International Mathematics Day and Harmony Week.

The highlight of the term, however, has to be my very first Belsurf. What more can I say - absolutely amazing! The participation and enjoyment was on a scale I have never seen before. The enthusiasm and commitment from the staff in organising individual events and games just kept the day flowing seamlessly. The attitude and behaviour of the students was exemplary; it was fantastic to see. The Physical Education Department did an amazing job and I know that this is an event that our students will treasure and remember forever.

With the current situation, there has been a number of cancellations and postponements of school events. The Chaplains Dinner and the Year 12 Ball, have both been postponed. However, we are looking forward to running these in the near future.

I would just like to finish by saying, in these difficult times I acknowledge our students who are trying their best to adjust to the new rules and situations around them. Our staff for their professional approach and dedication in supporting both the academic and health and wellbeing of our students. And finally our parents and community for being so supportive and understanding at this difficult time.

I wish you all the very best, take care of your family and be kind to our community in what is a very stressful and anxious time for all.
