🥛 BREKKIE CLUB BONUS 🐄

Our Brekkie Club was a little extra special this morning!

Alongside their usual toasty, our regular punters were treated to a milk thanks to a generous donation from Saputo in recognition of World Milk Day. Thank you to Simone Kimberley for providing the connection and joining us to serve the yummy milks 😊

Brekkie Club continues to be a wonderful part of our school, providing students with a positive start to the day, fuel in the tank, and a chance to connect with friends before learning begins.

A big thank you to Saputo for their generous donation and support of our students.

🗣️ LIONS CLUB PUBLIC SPEAKING COMPETITION 🗣️

Year 3–6 students showcased their public speaking skills as the culmination of weeks spent researching, writing and presenting their own speeches for the Lions Club Public Speaking Competition.

Following our school finals, three students from each stage progressed to the next level, judged this week by a panel of special guest judges.

We were incredibly proud of all students, who spoke with confidence and courage in front of an adult audience. A special shout-out to our youngest speakers for their polished speeches, and to our Stage 3 students who absolutely blitzed the impromptu speech component!

The judges had a very tough decision to make, eventually selecting the following winners:

🏆 Stage 2- Kit Marriott
🏆 Stage 3- Harper Paroissien

Congratulations to all students who delivered a speech. Your willingness to step up, speak out and challenge yourselves is something to be very proud of!

🙋 NSW Public School Parent Survey – Reminder! 🙋

Dear Barooga families,

Our school is taking part in the NSW Public Schools Parent Survey during Term 2. This survey is an important way for you to share your experiences and ideas about our school, your child’s learning, wellbeing and behaviour, and how we communicate and support families.

Participation is optional, but your feedback is very valuable.

The survey takes 10–15 minutes and is completely anonymous. Your responses help us understand what’s working well and what we can improve, so that every student feels known, valued and cared for.

📣Access the survey by using the link sent to family Dojo accounts and email📣

Please note: The incentive draw for survey participants closes this Friday, so be sure to complete the survey before then for your chance to enter!

Thank you for helping us create the best possible school experience for our students!
