Whole School Assemblies: Semester 2

Last week the Semester 2 whole school assemblies were held to recognise first semester student achievement.  Academic, sporting and extra-curricular activities were highlighted. It was fantastic to witness such a large number of students receive awards. I always enjoy celebrations like this that highlight the tremendous work our students do in all aspects of their schooling and the results they produce.

Parent School Tours

It was great to see many prospective parents take the opportunity to view the school in full operation. These tours were conducted over 4 mornings to accommodate a large uptake of expressions of interest.  Many thanks to Mr Notarpietro who assisted with the tours. The tours replaced the annual open day, which is normally held in May, but had to be cancelled due to the disruptions caused by COVID. Unfortunately, we are unable to re-schedule the Year 5/6 Taster courses this year, but these will be offered again in 2021.  Any prospective parents interested in booking a tour can register their details here. 

Enrolments 2021

Belridge SC is currently accepting Year 7 enrolments for 2021. Enrolment packages have now been distributed all to our partner primary schools. Enrolment packages are also available from reception. We require enrolment applications returned as soon as possible to allow sufficient planning time for 2021. Returned enrolment applications should also contain all necessary documentation. This includes a copy of the full birth certificate, two proofs of address (current rates notice or current lease agreement and a utilities bill or drivers licence), immunisation records and any applicable Family Court Orders. Should you have any concerns on the enrolment process please contact reception.

School sickness procedures

I reminded parents/caregivers in the previous newsletter of the school protocols should a child fall ill during the day. During the class time, the class teacher will make an assessment and send the child to the nurse or Student Services. If the child feels ill during a break time they are to make their own way to the nurse or Student Services. The school will then contact the parent/caregiver if required. Students are not to contact their parents/caregivers directly to be picked up because they are not feeling well.
