Number of preps enrolled for 2016: 25 A word from our Principal This week we are celebrating Education Week and students have been working on Numeracy activities based around the theme ‘Crack the Code with Maths’ with an artistic twist. Students have created artistic pieces that utilised their mathematical knowledge and skills. Student work will be on display at the Multi-Function Centre tomorrow. There will be guided tours of the exhibition available over lunch. Visitors to our 'exhibition' will need to crack the code to work out what maths has been used for the art works. Also tomorrow parents and friends are invited to join students for activities in the classrooms between 12:30 and 1:30pm.

Interschool Chess Tournament/BHPS Superstars Last Friday a number of our students attended an interschool chess tournament hosted by Bellarine Secondary School. By all reports the children really enjoyed themselves. They competed against a range of age groups over 7 games and apparently made quite a few friends while they were there. They also reportedly learnt something new and increased their confidence. The Barwon Heads team ended up coming a close 3rd to Geelong East Primary School who had a large contingent of 2 teams and a well-developed chess program. Georgia Borschmann, Ben Reid and Campbell Hutton (the youngest competitor in the competition!) came within the top 25% of the field. A very talented and skilled Fin Hutton maintained a consistently strong focus over the course of the day and achieved first place overall. Well done to all those who participated and for Caroline Hutton for assisting on the day. PREP Enrolments 2016 We are now taking enrolments for 2016. If you have a child who you wish to attend Barwon Heads Primary School in 2016, please collect and return the necessary enrolment forms. These are available at the school office. If you know of any other community member who may wish to enrol their child please feel free to inform them also. We have already had many inquiries from the nearby areas and are very conscious of the fact that our room availability and staffing will be significantly impacted by late enrolments. School Council Reminder Our monthly meeting is tonight at 6pm Thursday May 21st. Thanks for another great week at BHPS – looking forward to sharing Education Week 2015.

Teachers have jobs that need doing… and parents are helping; jobs that can even be done at home in front of the telly! Join the volunteers who are spending a little time helping to create the resources used in the classroom. The more helpers, the less work. I don’t contact you directly, I just add the jobs to the Facebook group. You only put up your hand when a job suits you. Typically jobs are things like laminating, typing, photocopying, contacting, cutting and pasting (with oldfashioned scissors and glue)… they are easy jobs for us to do, but time consuming for the teachers. Do you want to join “Teachers’ PAs”? Send an email to Pip at [email protected] or join the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dogsbodies/ Missing Missing size 6 Hoodie with MAY embroidered on front. Please check you have your own hoodie and no extras? Please? Barwon Heads Primary School promotes integrity, life-long learning and the attainment of excellence. Belongs to Jasper May grade Prep C.
