Burraneer Bay Public School

⚽⚽⚽ This morning Burraneer Bay took on Gymea Bay in Round 4 of the State Knockout Soccer competition. We are excited to report a 3-0 win, with our team now progressing to Round 5 of the competition! A complete write up will be in tomorrow’s newsletter. We are so proud! 👏👏👏 See the comments section for a video of one of our goals! 🥅🥅🥅

The sun was shining ☀️ for Year 1, and we were very lucky to welcome the rangers from Kamay Botany Bay Environmental Education Centre to Burraneer Bay.

Students enjoyed viewing taxidermied animals 🐾, exploring mini-beasts preserved in resin 🐜, and learning about the fascinating features of ants. Our little scientists were engaged, curious, and excited throughout the experience 🔍✨.

A huge thank you to Dylan and Bonita for bringing the National Park to us and sharing their knowledge with our students! 🌿👏

IN THE SPOTLIGHT 💃🏻
Over the past week, 3 of our dance groups have performed at the Regional Dance Festival. This takes place at the Seymour Centre for schools across the Sydney south west region. Year 3, Extension and Year 6 have had a wonderful experience performing their new routines.
We are incredibly proud of our students for
their hard work, enthusiasm and commitment
throughout the rehearsals and performances.
They represented our school with confidence
and excellence. Thank you to all our families for supporting these initiatives. 🌟

Year 4 had a great day at Kamay Botany Bay National Park, Kurnell! 🌿
We enjoyed spotting kookaburras during our bushwalk, walking along the beach looking for shells, and using our mapping skills to recreate and map the bay. 🐚☀️
It was a fun day of learning and exploring outdoors! ☺️

Congratulations to Eden and Layla from Stage 3 on their outstanding achievements in the Sutherland Shire Schools Music Festival Art Competition! 👏👏
Layla's artwork, Together as One, was selected as a Finalist, while Eden's artwork, Connected by Music, was chosen as the Overall Winner from entries submitted by schools across the Shire. 🌟🌟
This year's theme, Family, celebrates connection, belonging and community. ❤️ Both artworks will be displayed in The Pavilion foyer throughout the festival in August, featured in the digital program and website, and showcased on the screen at the beginning of each concert. What an incredible honour!
A special thank you to Mrs Singleton for facilitating this wonderful opportunity for our students through her lunchtime art classes. We are proud of all the students who dedicated their time, creativity and effort to preparing artworks for the competition.
Well done everyone! ❤️

This morning our Boys State Knockout Soccer Team played their 3rd round State Cup match against Yarrawarrah. In a nervous opening sequence Ben saved a certain goal, pushing the ball onto the post. 🥅 It wasn’t long after that Jackson took the ball onto the halfway line and set Xavier up for the first goal. ⚽ From there we saw goals from Blake, Mavi (2), Tayden and another goal for Xavier. A great all-round performance! 👏 The full match report will be in next week’s newsletter. Thank you to Mr Quinn for coaching our team. Let’s go boys! 💚❤️

Today Mrs Moss recorded her final entries in the books at her last ever Athletics Carnival after 26 years at BBPS.
A special milestone and a bittersweet moment as we celebrate her incredible dedication, commitment and contribution to our school community over more than two decades. Thank you, Mrs Moss, for everything you have given to BBPS! You will be greatly missed! ❤️💚🤍🏅

We loved seeing high rates of participation at our Day 1 Athletics Carnival in Week 5! Our 9 and 10 year old girls enjoyed discus and displayed our school value of personal best! ☺️ We were so proud to see our students support and encourage each other throughout the day. We are looking forward to Day 2 tomorrow! (Wednesday) ☀️☺️
