I am sure that parents will be very proud of the award recipient’s achievements this year. Awards were presented to students in each class whom had achieved high academic results across all learning areas as well as an award to those whose academic achievements have improved throughout the year or those who had come to school everyday to do their personal best. Unfortunately, not all students could win a book prize. I congratulate all students who have come to school this year and made it their quest to be their Beckenham Best. I wish to take this opportunity to thank Mrs Cathy Hearman for organising the Presentation Assembly. Violence in Schools Violence in schools is a complex issue which impacts students, staff and community members. No matter how rare or frequent incidents are, school staff require, support and guidance. Every child has the right to be safe at school. We provide learning environments that foster good behaviour and respect for your children and those around them. I sent home a letter to parents this week letting you know that the State Government has developed ten actions to help school communities, work together on this complex issue. A copy of the statement is available on the Department’s website at education.wa.edu.au or outside the school office. We will endeavour to implement the 10 point action plan in 2019. Playground Accident Last Friday there was a playground incident involving students and a staff member. The students were not physically harmed as a result of the incident but were extremely upset. A staff member was hurt and required medical attention in hospital. The staff member is resting at home after a short stay in hospital. We wish Lia a speedy recovery from her injuries and look forward to seeing her back next year. In regards to the playground, the Department will be completing a thorough investigation into the incident and to working out why the piece of equipment failed. It may be some time before the reasons are known to us but the school community will be kept informed of the outcome. During the period of investigation and subsequent repair, students will be restricted from playing in the area. Staff Departure and Celebrations Mrs Sally Barlow will be leaving us today. She will remain on sick leave for the rest of the year and next year has accepted a new position at Clifton Hills Primary School in Kelmscott. Sally won this position from a competitive pool of applicants. On behalf of the school community I thank Sally for her efforts. She has developed strong relationships with the students in her class and worked collaboratively with parents to ensure the best outcomes for her group of students. I also wish to thank Mrs Usharini Grida and Mrs Alison Brayford for their contributions this term while relieving for Mrs Nemeth who has been on long service leave. We will miss you also. Miss Miksha Ramlukun has replaced Mrs Barry this term while she too has taken long service, will also be leaving us. We are sorry you are leaving us but hope that you will return next year in other relieving teacher positions.

Year 5 Excursion to King’s Park
On Tuesday, 4 December the Year 5’s in Rooms 10, 11 and 12 went to King’s Park for their end of year excursion.
To begin with, we went to the Flame of Remembrance and the WA War Memorial to acknowledge the efforts of the men and women who have fought for Australia. We then went for a walk through the botanic gardens to see flora from different regions of Western Australia. Here we had fun rolling down the steep hill. After this, we walked through the Women’s Memorial Park, where women and women associations are acknowledged for their contributions to Australia.
From here, we had fun climbing the DNA tower and looking out at the amazing view of Perth and surrounding areas. We then walked down to Synergy park where we had lunch and played on the playground equipment.
It was a fantastic day and we all were tired on the bus. Thank you to our parent helpers who volunteered their time on the day.
HELPING HANDS BECKENHAM
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Our organisation Junior Adventures Group

24th November at Perth Convention Centre where
Helping Hands Beckenham team and senior
management team volunteered and distributed
brand new toys to all children for free. The whole
day was filled with such great activities, food,
entertainment and amusement. It was an incredible
way to spend time with children and their families and to see big smiles on children’s faces which
definitely made our day.
Vacation Care Program: Our December/January vacation care program is fully packed with
amazing incursions, excursions and theme-based activities. The program is out now. So, if you don’t
want to miss out then please enroll your child with us as soon as possible before all the vacancies
are filled. For any inquiry, please contact the coordinator directly on 0478 398 270.
Coming Up Next: Christmas Party: Tomorrow we
will be celebrating Christmas party with families and
children at our service.
