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
As the days are getting shorter and the weather is colder it is a good reminder that children still need to get outside and do exercise and activities. This is not only good for their health but also good for their mental health. Click here for recent research in this area.

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

Social Media & FOMO - The Fear of Missing Out
I have had a number of conversations with senior school families recently about use of social media and it has prompted me to write on the topic. I know that a significant number of our families regularly 'battle' with their children surrounding this very topic.
