In HASS the students were learning about places and spaces in their environment and how they were cared for. They have discovered how Perth (Boorloo) has changed over time and learnt about the traditional custodians, the Whadjuk Noongar people and their links to the land. 

During our visit, students participated in The Koora Koora Kaarta Koomba educational program discovering the traditional lifestyles of the Noongar People in Kings Park and explored and connected with nature in the Rio Tinto Naturescape.

Congratulations to our year 5 students who nominated to be chosen to lead their faction as Faction Captain in 2023. On the morning of Wednesday 23^rd November, these Year 5 students presented a speech to their faction outlining how they would help their faction be the best in 2023.

After these presentations, the Year 3, 4 and 5 students completed their votes for who they thought would be their best Faction Captain in 2023.

The results of these votes were presented at our End of Year Concert.

Congratulations to our four Faction Captains for 2023…

Apollo Faction Captain - Ava D

Mercury Faction Captain – Zach M

Venus Faction Captain – Finn DP

Zeus Faction Captain – Nathan G

On Thursday 24th November our Year 5 and 6 students participated in the BSSA Summer Carnival for 2022. It was disappointing that this carnival had to be postponed during term 1 due to Covid restrictions, however we were very happy to be able to reschedule the day’s events into Term 4.

We had a fabulous day at Briggs Park with our teams competing in tee-ball, basketball, and cricket tournaments. The students should be very proud of their efforts, they all played very well and had their best performance on display – we had some very close games across all three sports!

It was great to see the high level of sportsmanship amongst our students and we had some awesome skills on show across the grounds.

A big thank you to Mr G, Mrs Smith, and Ms Marchetti for their organisation, training and coaching on the day.

Great job, Byford Primary!

It was fantastic to see so many families and friends at our annual End of Year Concert. It was an amazing night to come together to celebrate all the achievements from 2022. Congratulations to all the staff and students for their excellent work creating, practising, and performing such entertaining concert items. It was a sensational effort by all to put on such an awesome show to end another successful year.

A big thank you to our amazing P&C fundraising team for their work organising the P&C raffle and cooking a sausage sizzle for families to enjoy for dinner. Thank you to our school community for supporting these fundraising initiatives to help raise funds for our school.

The concert event was a fantastic night of celebration and entertainment to end another successful year

Containers for Change

We’ve joined the Containers for Change team to raise money for the year 6 camp, whilst helping to make a real difference to the environment.  This will roll over to  the Year 6 Fundraising Committee every year.  Donation bins have been placed in the undercover, blue court and pre-primary areas for students to donate their used water/drink bottles, juice and milk boxes (please look out for the 10c icon on the side of the container).  If you wish to donate containers from your household, please quote our Scheme ID #C10425624 when you drop off your containers to the recycle drop-off points and the funds will automatically get deposited into our fundraising account.

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.
