Dear Parents
The end of term is certainly rushing by with final events, functions and matters being ticked off daily.

Monday afternoon was very special with the remainder of our 2017 ECD and Grade 1 prospective pupils being interviewed.

On Tuesday morning we held our Inter-House Public Speaking and we must congratulate all the pupils competing for their Houses on the high standard of presentation.

On Tuesday and Thursday afternoons the school was very busy with all the Parent/Teacher Consultations.

This morning was very exciting and festive as we held our Infants Sports Day for ECD, Grade 1 and Grade 2.  Our congratulations go to them all for their efforts.

Our Grade 6 classes also went on an interesting and informative trip to the National Heroes Acre this morning.

Our Athletics Team will be competing in their Division of the EPSA Inter Schools Athletics tomorrow, which is being hosted by Springvale.  We wish them every success.

Our Public Speaking Team will be travelling to Gateway on Tuesday evening to take part in the Inter-Schools Public Speaking.  We wish them every success as well. Unfortunately the date of this event has been changed and now clashes with our Eisteddfod Concert.

Then on Tuesday evening, we will be holding our very special Eisteddfod Concert.  This Concert showcases Bishopslea music and will include our five choirs as well as many of our Marimba groups, soloists and musicians and guest soloists.  The concert will begin at 6:30pm with the PTA selling refreshments from 5:30pm.  All parents and friends are invited to this special event.

The final event of the term will be Final Assembly at 11:15am on Wednesday morning.  All parents are invited to this assembly after which term ends.
