    Newsletter Week 1 Term 4 Friday 11 October 2019 BGS Parent and Son Kokoda Trek | September Holidays In this issue BGSState Newsletter Tennis Tournament| Lead Article Teacher Recognised Duke of Edinburgh Award Headmaster Anthony Micallef Welcome to Term 4 I would like to welcome the BGS community to Term 4. I trust everyone had a satisfying break in preparation for this important term. Throughout the holidays, many students actively prepared for the academic and co-curricular rigours of Term 4. The BGS Track and Field boys prepared for their season with a holiday training camp, while others started pre- season training ahead of Term 1 2020. Students also embarked on their Public Purpose expeditions in Cambodia and Kokoda. Thank you to all staff and students who participated in these activities over the break. Your commitment to the School is appreciated. Working together to achieve a common goal is the essence of being human – it is knowing and feeling that you belong to something special. As we start Term 4, I congratulate the student body for rounding out Term 3 admirably. The boys maintained decorum and behaved respectfully while completing assessments and co-curricular responsibilities to high standards. I also thank the Year 12 cohort for conducting themselves appropriately at the formal. The Class of 2019 was in good spirits and gentlemanly in their manner. I hope the boys have returned from their holiday well rested and ready for a relatively short and constructive term. It is important for every student to see this term as a down payment on further academic success rather than a slide into holidays.
