Congratulations to our students on the way they have quickly settled back into the 2022 school year and welcome to our new Year 7 students. The first few weeks for our year 7s can be exciting, exhausting
and even a little scary – but I am receiving excellent reports from our staff
in regards to the conduct and engagement of all students at BPSSC. My thanks also go to the parents for having your child so well prepared for the return of school.
We had tentatively scheduled face-to-face, parent-staff-student meet and greet events this year. However, the COVID-19 curveball has required us to do things a little differently. As such we have put together a short video presentation to assist our parents and students for a successful 2022.
Our Junior Secondary video introduces the key staff for our junior secondary families, good study habits, our RISE values, support services, organisational skills, and our mobile phone policy.
Our Senior School video introduces families to senior schooling expectations related to demonstrating engagement in the senior phase of learning. Topics covered include assessment and block exams, Queensland Certificate of Education attainment, subject changes, effort, behaviour, WesTEC, structured work placement and use of laptops for learning.
For our Year 12 families, the last portion of the presentation outlines information, key dates and eligibility for our Year 12 events such as the formal, mystery bus tour and graduation.

I wish all of our staff, parents and students a productive, safe and calm term 1. As always, if there are any concerns or issues please do get hesitate to get in touch with our wonderful and supportive staff at BPSSC.
