Christmas is so close that you just want to stop for a break, right now.
Another school year has just about flown past.
Q. Why did the boy throw his clock out the window?
A. Because he wanted to see time fly.
Well done to everyone: students, staff, parent/guardians and significant adults, having survived the everyday challenges brought to us by our fast-paced hectic way of life.
A ‘Happy Holidays’ shout out to everyone. May you all have a great break.
May your relationships with family and friends be renewed, strengthened and grow stronger.
Thank you for everyone’s support and friendship this year. I hope that you all have a truly good Christmas. Keep safe, keep well and look forward to a new year and new experiences. May I encourage you to be the person that you want others to be.
Sow a thought, reap an action.
Sow an action, reap a habit.
Sow a habit, reap a character.
Sow a character, reap a destiny.
Food for thought.

School Chaplain

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.
