One of the great things about being part of the Belridge School Board is hearing first-hand about the wonderful things our staff and students are involved in. One of these is the Fallen Soldier Project. This program was to advocate for nine WA born Aboriginal soldiers who enlisted, trained, fought and died in the defence of Australia during WWI but were never recognised or commemorated alongside their fellow fallen soldiers on the Avenues of Honour in King. Fellow Board member, Ben Dawkins - one of the three staff representatives on the board - led the initiative. Not wishing to steal his or the students involved the accolades due their work, come along to the Open Board meeting in November, where Ben and the students will showcase their work on this project. 

The Open Board Meeting is a great opportunity for parents and community members to come and see what the Board has been up to over the past year, as well as a way to come and have a chat with the Board members, hear about the College's exciting developments and future plans. The event is catered by the students, with  complimentary coffee, snacks and some great food on offer – see flyer below and REGISTER your place.

Finally, if you are a regular visitor to the school yards, you'll see a number of areas getting a needed refresh, including student amenities, both indoor and outdoor as part of our Student Led Projects. Being able to use well budgeted funds to enable these upgrades is a testament to the great work by our Principal, Mrs Sharon Lyon, and our Manager Corporate Services, Ms Kerrie Ward. Having a clear picture of our financial position allows the Board to be able to endorse the recommendations of Sharon and the team.
