Byford Primary School is now taking enrolment applications for students entering Kindergarten and Pre-primary in 2022. Both Byford Primary School and Byford Community Kindergarten will be offering a Kindergarten program in 2022. When completing an application to enrol for Kindergarten, parents will be asked to nominate which program they wish to apply for. 

Your child can only enrol in one of these programs.

Children born between July 1 2017 & June 30 2018 are eligible to apply for Public School Kindergarten.

Children born between July 1 2016 & June 30 2017 are eligible to apply for Public School Pre-primary.

 When making an application for enrolment, please bring a copy of;

• Your child’s birth certificate
• Passport and Visa Grant Notice (if born overseas)
• Proof of residential address (e.g. utility bill, lease agreement);
• AIR Immunisation History Statement (that is not more than 2 months old), and
• Family Court Orders (if applicable)

Students in Pre-primary in 2021 will automatically roll over into Year 1 in 2022 and beyond. If your child will not be returning to Byford Primary School in 2022, please notify the School Office.

It should be noted that an application does not confirm placement for any child – selection criteria may apply. Application details will be used to assist the school in organising classes and placements for next year. Parents of children who are offered placement at Byford Primary School will be asked to complete formal enrolment details at that time. Unsuccessful applicants will be offered a place in a school as close to their residential location as possible or be referred to their local school in the case of Pre Primary students.

 Applications required by Friday 23rd July 2021.

All applicants will be advised of their child’s placement during Term 3 this year. Enrolment applications can be made through the school office between the hours of 9.30am to 2:30pm.

It was with great excitement that the new early childhood nature playground opened last week. We are sure that our youngest students will enjoy many hours of fun utilising it over their years in Kindergarten and Pre-primary. The playground has been designed to strengthen and develop the students’ gross motor skills and collaborative play experiences. Byford Primary School were successful in obtaining a grant towards improvements in our Early Childhood play area last year.

Special thanks must also go to our wonderful P & C for providing additional funds towards this project!! 

This term in Science we have been investigating Biological Science. Our junior classes have been looking at lifecycles, in particular the plant lifecycle. They have investigated the different environments that plants grow and survive in. Our senior classes have been looking at plant adaptations and currently in the science room there are 64 butterflies camouflaged around the room.

On Wednesday, 2^nd June 2021, students enjoyed an excellent morning for our Faction Cross Country event. Students from Years 3 to 6 competed in our cross country event, running 1000 metres and 1500 metres. It was a fantastic event with all students showing commitment and resilience to challenge their bodies and complete the endurance race. A big thank you to our students for their awesome sportsmanship skills on display throughout the event.

Thank you to all those parents who were able to attend the competition. It was great to build atmosphere, cheer and support our children for our first sports event this year. This helped make the event more enjoyable and the students love the support.

The final results for our factions were...

Congratulations to all our Mercury competitors!

Excellent running from the Top 3 runners from each race:

Our Year 5 and Year 6 students have been training hard and improving their skills in Soccer, Netball and Football as we prepare for our upcoming Interschool Winter Carnival in week 10, Friday 25^th June 2021.

We look forward to a fun day of sporting competition.

A ‘No Hat, Limited Outside Play’ policy is enforced at Byford Primary School all year.  Parents can assist us by reinforcing the need for protection from the sun by ensuring that students have a wide brim hat. Hats can be purchased through the school uniform shop next to Room 3.  Students who do not have a hat are instructed to play under sheltered areas such as the Undercover Area near the canteen. Caps are not acceptable as they do not provide adequate protection to the ears and back of the neck from the sun.
