Australian Maths Competition
Students across all year groups participated in the Australian Maths Competition in Week 3. Thank you, Ms Old for engaging our students in this challenging event.
Year 10 Work Experience
Year 10 students had a whole week of workplace learning in Week 4. This took a great deal of time and planning by Ms Phillips, and I thank her very much for setting up these opportunities for our students. Work experience provides a very valuable insight into what the world of work is like and it helps students to make well-informed decisions about their future pathways.
Greenbushes PS Science Fair
BHS provided a robotics stall at the Greenbushes Primary School Science Fair held in Week 4. Ms Cockerill took a range of robotic equipment for students to engage with. This was a terrific event and we hope to continue our partnership with GPS and this event next year.
PBS Focus
Who knew that our PBS Focus on Resilience would be tested so unexpectedly in Week 4? The power went out suddenly on Wednesday afternoon and didn’t come back on until Friday mid-morning! Our students were very patient and understanding and managed through this period with excellent resilience. Our current focus is Responsibility:
- Treat property & environment with care
- Be organised
- Be accountable - own your actions
- Be punctual, meet deadlines
- Use your class time well
- Eat food and drink water in breaks
- Go to the toilet at breaks.

ART AUCTION 23 August
I want to acknowledge the amazing work of our dedicated P&C team, and Holly Francke, who brought them the idea of an art auction. I also want to thank the many artists from the local community who generously donated art works to be auctioned off, or for separate sale. Congratulations to our very own Deputy Principal, Mrs Hardey, who earned runner up for the People’s Choice award with her beautiful photography. Thank you to Mrs Karafilis, who entertained everyone with her music performances throughout the evening and Chris Mott who was our outstanding MC. The night was a huge success!
Kelly Anderson
Bridgetown High School was proud to participate in the School Sport WA Year 7/8 South West Lightning Carnival for the very first time. Our school entered four teams, consisting of one football team, two netball teams, and a soccer team. Students represented BHS with pride, showing respect and excellent sportsmanship throughout the day. A special thank you goes to our Year 9/10 helpers – Rihanna, Tayte, Tahni, Ruby, Joe, Tilly and Zac – who assisted with coaching, umpiring, and scoring to ensure the day ran smoothly.
It was a fantastic day of competition with some impressive results. The football team secured a strong win against Dalyellup, while the A Netball team finished an outstanding 3rd in the top division. The soccer team also shone on the day, going undefeated and recording several good wins. The HPE team was thrilled to see so many students enthusiastic about representing the school and look forward to supporting further opportunities like this in the future. A great day for Bridgetown High School!
Wowee, what an incredible night we had at the Bridgetown High School Art Auction. The P&C outdid themselves, creating an incredible space that showcased the amazing work created by both professional and student artists. Thank you to all who attended, to the students who came and served food and represented the school so respectfully. Thank you to Matt Watts and Zara Hart for your auctioneering brilliance, to everyone who purchased artworks, to the Karafilis' family for manning the bar and to absolutely everyone who was involved in bringing this showcase together. I do not have a total yet, but I feel sure that we will be seeing a wonderful revamp of the common room very soon.
We had a wonderful cake stall to fundraise for Daffodil Day 2025. Student's dressed up in yellow and enjoyed the delicious treats that were available. In total $350 was raised for the Cancer Council. We would like to thank all the families that sent in delicious goodies for the cake stall and all of the students who purchased treats to support the cause. We look forward to another cake stall soon.
