School Review

As mentioned in the last newsletter, Bridgetown High School was recently involved in the Public School Review process. All public schools in WA are required to undertake this process once every three years.  A number of staff, parents and students were invited to take part in the process which involves looking into how the school performs in the areas of Relationships and Partnerships; Learning Environment; Leadership; Use of Resources; Teaching Quality and Student Achievement and Progress.

This report has now been released and I have placed it with this newsletter for your perusal. It will also be available on our Schools Online website. Please take the time to read the Report as it gives insight into the areas staff will be focussing on in the foreseeable future. The Report will also be presented to the School Council and P & C at the next meetings of these groups. If you would like to make a time to discuss the Report, please do not hesitate to give the Front Office a call on 9761 0100 to book an appointment with me.

Years 9 and 10 Transition Information Sessions

Although it is early in the year, we have scheduled visits from Manjimup Senior High School, Manea College and Harvey Agricultural College over the next few weeks. Staff from these schools will be talking to students in Years 9 and 10 about what these schools can offer, how their application process works and what qualities they look for in prospective students. Parents are most welcome to attend these sessions as per the dates and times below. All sessions will be conducted in the Bridgetown High School library:

Manjimup Senior High School: 10:00am 17/03/2021

Manea Senior College:  10:00am 22/03/2021

Harvey Ag College: 2:00pm 23/04/2021

Student drop off and pick up reminder

We have had some issues recently with private vehicles using the Steere Street entrance during bus times. Can I ask that parents and visitors to the school adhere to the signage, and not use this entrance at the beginning and end of the day when the buses are dropping off and picking up students? Your assistance in keeping our students safe is appreciated.

House Swimming Carnival

The annual House Swimming Carnival is scheduled for this Friday 19th March at the Bridgetown Pool. We hope to see as many parents as possible come along and support the swimmers on the day. A huge thank you to the P & C for providing a sausage sizzle lunch for our students.

Until next time

Mrs Carol Thorsby
