Suggestion Box
I have created a sugges-
tions box for students at
BHPS. It is located in the
library. Please spread
the word and encourage
students to come for-
ward with their great
ideas as to how we can
improve student life at
BHPS.
There have already been some big changes
this year and our prefects and SRC have been
doing a great job. The Leadership Team wants
to ensure that all students have a voice and to
inspire leaders from the wider student body so
we can implement even more great ideas and
propel BHPS into the future.
All suggestions need to have a name & class
on them.

Cross Country - Yrs 3-6 Bellevue Hill Public School students walked to Lough Park on Wednesday 21 May to compete in the Annual Cross Country Carnival. The students were supported by many proud parents and grandparents. Conditions were good and a strong sense of camaraderie en- sured the students were all excited and look- ing forward to their respective events. In each event there were more than 30 competitors so competition for places was strong. There were some outstanding performances right across the board in particular Luca and Riley in Year 6, both of whom won their respective events and will represent our school at the Zone Carnival. Congratulations to all of our competitors who completed the course. Doing so was a person- al achievement and indicative of the strength of character that prevails amongst the stu- dents. The challenge now is for us all to train that lit- tle bit harder and improve our standing amongst the other schools and by so doing lift Bellevue Hill Public School into the top 3 posi- tion in our region. Thank you to everyone for your support. Best Regards Darran Rawson– Sport Co Ordinator
Parent Reading Tutor Program
We are delighted that after glitch due to COVID
Cookie & Muffin Day
we can restart our fantastic Parent Tutor Reading
Program. For this program to give maximum
benefit to students we ideally want to provide 3
tutoring sessions per week for each child on the
program. Unfortunately, we do not have sufficient
tutors to provide all the help we would like.
From Monday, 26 April, our trained volunteers will
again begin working with students to develop
their reading skills, both in decoding and compre-
hension.
These tutors give up their time to assist the
students of Bellevue Hill Public School. I am most
grateful for their help and we look forward to
welcoming them into the school.
If you know of anyone who would be able to
assist for at least 30 minutes per week please
have them contact Mrs Beck either through the
office or via email –
Vivienne.beck@det.nsw.edu.au
We hope that soon we will be able to welcome
many more volunteers to enable us to provide
more support for students.
