Dates to Remember!!
Dear Parents & Carers,
A very ‘cool’ welcome back to Semester 2 2015. I refer to the ‘cool’ temperature of course
- the weather has been fantastic and a nice way to settle back into the new term and
semester for all of our staff and students.
I would like to welcome a number of new families to Bakewell. Our total enrolment has
now reached 770 students. It is great that Bakewell is the school of choice for parents and
carers within our priority enrolment area. I have met with a number of families recently, as
well as members of the broader community, and the consistent feedback and opinion is
that Bakewell is a high quality school delivering on our commitment to provide an
excellent education service.
Our intent is to continue to improve and strive for excellence.
I would also like to communicate a number of positive staffing changes:
Erin Francis– Year 3/4 Teacher. Erin will also be leading the Middle Primary as a
Senior Teacher for Semester 2 2015.
Chris Beagley- ICT Specialist Teacher
Haylee Holliday– Year 4 Teacher (formerly 4 Beagley).
Kylie Drysdale– Year 5 Teacher (formerly 5 Francis)
Tamara Telley- Year 3 teacher (team teaching with Jody McAulay)
Thank you to folks who have commented on our fantastic school grounds. We have
worked hard during the break to improve the overall look and feel of our school. The A
Block extension was completed giving Transition students an undercover outdoor learning
area. We have painted the demountable classrooms and restrooms which now feel ‘new’
and over 30 large trees were also planted to provide more greenery and shade across the
school. There are further works to be completed including painting and landscaping.
As always can I implore you to assist us with some fundamental expectations at Bakewell.
Attendance - please ensure that you child/children attend school every day- where
possible!
Uniform - all Bakewell Primary students are required to be in correct uniform - this
includes black ‘bottoms’ (shorts/skirts etc) and the Bakewell shirt. Please note
that the past Bakewell house coloured shorts are no longer part of our uniform
and are therefore not to be worn to school.
Recess and Lunch - please ensure that your child has a satisfactory and preferably
healthy recess and lunch.
Classroom Teachers will be sending home letters to parents and carers to ensure you are
well informed on matters specific to your child’s class. Please do not hesitate to contact
teachers and/or our front office staff if there is anything we can do to assist you and help
support your child education.
Have a fantastic week!!

DSTA News (for Defence families)
Welcome back to school, wow it is already Term 3, I
hope you all had a great holiday and some much
needed family time. This time of year we welcome
new families to our school and get the news that some
are moving on. Please let me know if you are advised
of a posting so I can organise farewell packs for your
children.
I will be arranging a parent morning tea in the next
couple of weeks so keep an eye out for the
information.
