Life Education:
It was wonderful to welcome Life Education to our school. A huge thank you to Rebecca and Harold for the visit. Rebecca from Life Education provided our students with engaging and interactive session about building positive friendship and relationship. These skills can be used within our school community and outside the gates. Rebecca will return in Term 3 for an additional session for Year 5 and Year 6.
Mother's Day stall:
Thank you to all who supported the P&C’s Mother’s Day Stall last week. We hope all the Mum's and mother figures to our students at Bundaberg South State School enjoyed their special day on Sunday.
Athletics Day -Save the date:
Preparations for Athletics Day are well under way. This year we will be holding our Athletics Day on Thursday Week 10, Thursday 20th June 2024. More information to come.
Road Safety:
Can I please encourage parents to have a conversation about road safety this week. It has come to my attention that there have been a few near misses when students have been crossing the road. Please remind students to use the crossing and if a crossing isn't available remember to Stop, Look, Listen and Think before stepping out onto the road.
Helmets- remember to wear a helmet if riding/scooting to school.
Uniform:
A little uniform reminder with the cooler weather please ensure that your student/s have the correct winter uniform in their bags (Black tracksuit pants and Royal Blue jumper). On occasions, it can be considerably cooler at the school with the wind.
Attendance:
Attending school every day is important. As we enter the cooler months there is a likelihood of increased sickness. Students are to remain at home if they are sick, however can you please limit the number of free days off that some students are having, particularly with the number of public holidays this term (day before or after a public holiday). Where possible early departures should be avoided. Students who leave earlier that 3:00pm are missing out on key learning opportunities in Science, Technology, HASS and The Arts as these subjects are timetabled in classrooms most afternoons.
First bell sounds at 8.45am, please make sure any students arriving after 8.45am come through Admin to sign in late.

We sincerely appreciate your attendance at this year’s Bundaberg ANZAC Civic Service and it was heartwarming to see so many students participating this year.
