All visitors, parents and caregivers must report to the office when coming onto the school grounds between 9.00 am and 2.30 pm. It is extremely important that you notify the teacher and the office if you are picking up your child early.
For the safety of our children, we need you to come to the office to collect your child, not go straight to the classroom. Our office staff will ring the classroom so your child can be sent to the office while you sign them out on our ipad. If there is a time when you do need to go to the classroom you will be issued with a visitor pass.

Netball Field Day
On Tuesday BDS Year 5 and 6 students had a very enjoyable day at Lloyd Elsmore Netball Courts. The Year 5/6 team had a very successful day winning 5 from 5 games with some tough, hard fought games. The Year 5 team also had a good day winning 3 of their 5 games. All girls played well, and showed fantastic sportsmanship, representing our school with pride.
