Celebrating a fabulous BCC Twighlight Fete
A big thank you to all those people, P&F members, staff and parents, who put in so much time and effort to make Friday’s Twilight Fete such a huge success. Special thanks and appreciation to Suzie Fowler who gave up so much of her time to coordinate the entire event. This was my first Brindabella Fete and the sense of community and spirit that I witnessed on Friday was another highlight to what has been a very big year for Brindabella.

Let Them Run Wild

Maths & Science at ELC
Today we did a combined maths/science lesson. We discussed volume and measurement. We also used the observe (notice), predict (guess) explain (why did it happen) formula for exploring how and why the food dyes were diluted and spread throughout the water. Finally, we discussed the rainbow they formed and reminded P.K. what kind of behaviour is “Rainbow Behaviour”, linking to our behaviour reward system. It was fun

Today Mr Andy visited Charnwood campus and read us a story about Edward the Emu.

Work has started on the BCC Carpark
The carpark surface has dried out sufficiently for work to commence on Friday 7 October. As there is still rain predicted for Canberra next week and we want to ensure the carpark surface will be compacted enough to prevent any future potholing the carpark will be closed for all of the week beginning Monday 10 October. The Uniting Church carpark is private property and should not be used as an alternative. It is important parents plan carefully for next week and there are a few suggestions that may help:
