Leadership Update
Hello Bradshaw families,
Welcome to the last few days of the 2022 school year. It is an exciting, busy and perhaps even a nervous time for everyone. Our Preschool and Year 6 Graduation events were held recently – such a lovely night for all families and the students were outstanding. Congratulations to all our Graduates. Thank you to the staff and helpers from the preschool and Year 6 who helped put on these fabulous events so our students can shine. We also presented awards to students at a recent assembly. Congratulations to students who were acknowledged for their achievement in Literacy, STEM and LOTE. There are many more events happening – these are listed below. Please speak to your child’s teacher or contact the front office if you require more information.

Whats Been Happening At Bradshaw...
Acacia Dinosaurs
For maths this term, we have been learning about probability, statistics, data, location and shape transformation. We have learnt about growth mindsets in social-emotional learning, we are all doing our best to develop a growth mindset! When we believe in ourselves, anything is possible and we gain self-confidence!
Year 4 Pierce
It has been a fantastic year in 4P! There has been lots of learning and even more laughs. We have been working hard to finalise our Geography presentations, comparing countries in Africa and South America to Australia. We have also been preparing for our Buddies Christmas Concert, making sure we know all of our dance moves. We had a few of our students treat us to a fantastic rendition of “Jingle Bells” on instruments they have been studying all year long.
