Pelican Brief Issue 3, Term 4
From the Acting Principal
Good afternoon families and community, I have spent this last week in Brisbane at a Beginning Principal Program. It was a great learning experience, although I missed being in Birdsville and seeing the students!
Thank you again to Mrs Hodder who has left glowing reviews of the staff and students at BSS. Everyone was very appreciative of her efforts and have told me all that they learnt from her.
Please find the notices below.
Kind regards,
Harriet Birchley
