Congratulations to Bonbeach Mums Amy Dowling and Jade Kavanagh, who have
not only won the title of ‘Growers of the Year’, but have now been featured in a
number of local and national newspapers. The following article was featured in
‘The Independent’. Well done Ladies!
Congratulations Bonbeach students! We
had an amazing number of students
walking, riding, skating and scooting to
school for National Ride2School Day! Over
65% of our school got active this year!
Hopefully you’ve realised how easy and
fun riding to school is, and we can
continue being active throughout the year!

Mother’s Day Stall: A stall will be held during the week of May 4th. Low cost items will be available for the students to purchase. More information closer to the date.

Flix Fix
Alice in Wonderland
The Flix Fix program encourages young people to bring their friends to enjoy films in the beautiful Shirley Burke Theatre every school
holidays. Pre-show entertainment and fancy dress is a tradition and of course there will be prizes for best dressed!
Our ushers open the doors 30 minutes before each film so you can parade through the cinema with your costume and enjoy pre-show
arts & craft activities and refreshments all before the judging of the best costume.
Celebrate Disney’s masterwork, Alice in Wonderland. Full of spectacular songs and dazzling animation, this is a film for the young and
young at heart. Follow Alice as she stumbles into the world of Wonderland. Will she get home? Not if the Queen of Hearts has her
way.

2015 Team Vic State Teams - 12 Years and Under Teams
Nominations Now Open
Parents of Grade 5 and 6 students are advised of the following
key dates for registering to trial for the following 12 Years and
Under State Teams. The nomination form for School Sport
Victoria District Australian Football, Basketball, Football (Soccer)
and Netball trials is to be downloaded from the SSV website
https://www.ssv.vic.edu.au/TeamVic . These must first be
returned to your school who will in turn forward it to the District
Coordinator. Late entries will not be considered. District trials for
these sports will be held in the first week of next term. As the
District can only forward 3-5 representatives for each sport,
school nominations must be of a very high standard. Students
should be competing in Rep teams or above and be considered
exceptional at that level.
For all other Team Vic State Team sports, but in particular cricket,
rugby, hockey and softball, you are advised to access the SSV
website to find nomination procedures and trial dates.
