From the Principal
Dear Parents and Beeliar community
Resilience Our Stand Tall virtue this fortnight is resilience. Resilience is an extremely important attribute for our For Your Calendar children to learn and apply to their lives. Resilience is being able to bounce back from stress, challenges, tragedy, trauma or adversity. When children are resilient they are braver, more curious, Tuesday 28 March more adaptable, and more able to extend their reach into the world. Beeliar Family Playgroup The great news is that resilience is something that can be nurtured in all children and as a community 9.00am-10.30am we can support our children at Beeliar to become ‘tough eggs’. Building small humans into healthy, thriving big ones isn’t about clearing adversity out of their way. Of course, if we could scoop them up Friday 31 March and lift them over the things that would cause them to stumble, that would be a wonderful thing, but it Jump Rope for Heart Jump- Off day wouldn’t necessarily be doing them any favours. P&C Disco A little bit of stress is life-giving and helps them to develop the skills they need to flourish. Strengthening them towards healthy living is about nurturing within them the strategies to deal with Monday 3 April that adversity. Through Stand Tall we will be giving our children the strategies to be strong, face Easter Bonnet Parade challenges and ultimately find purpose, meaning and happiness in life. 2.00pm undercover area CONGRATULATIONS to our wonderful Interschool teams who participated in the Summer Tuesday 4 April Carnival on Friday. The Beeliar Cricket team took out first place and we finished competitively in all Beeliar Family Playgroup other sports. Thank you to Mr Batt and all the teachers who trained and supported our students to 9.00am-10.30am achieve excellence on the sporting field.

Please support the P&C by encouraging your child to come along to the Beeliar end of term disco this Friday. Friday 7 April Easter Bonnet Parade – Monday 3rd April. Celebrate the end of term and Easter with us at our ANZAC Service 9.00am Easter Bonnet parade. There will be prizes for the most creative hats and I am sure the Easter bunny might deliver some easter eggs! ANZAC Service -Friday 7th April.

On Tuesday February 28, 10 girls ranging from Pre Primary to Year 6 came along to join the All Girls football clinic from the South Fremantle development squad and we did a few drills with her. We played a couple of ball games with the football, then did some handpassing and finally practiced kicking some goals. I got all of mine through the big sticks! It was great to see the girls that turned up having fun and look forward to possibly having another session sometime in Term 2. Written by Chelsea TA16
