We are thrilled to announce that a brand-new playground will be installed at our school, with construction starting in Week 9 and continuing through the school holidays.

The playground will replace the ageing equipment on the oval near the Kiss and Drop area. The project has been made possible through our school winning a Kompan competition, receiving $40,000 worth of playground equipment, together with funding from a State Government grant. We are extremely grateful for this support.

The new playground will provide students with exciting opportunities for active play, physical development, creativity, and social interaction. We know our students will be excited to enjoy this fantastic new addition to our school.

We look forward to sharing updates as construction progresses.

During the upcoming school holidays the Uniform Shop will be open:

The Student Representative Council (SRC) have organised a Casual Day on Thursday, 10th September, Week 8. Students may wear school‑appropriate casual clothes next Thursday for a gold coin donation. At lunchtime, all students are invited to enjoy a disco in the gym. There will also be a quiet movie session for students who would prefer a calmer activity.

Funds raised will support Hope Village Library and BCS school resources such as yard games and sporting equipment.

Please ensure clothing and footwear are suitable for safe learning and play.

On Friday 28th August, we took a group of 10 students to Scotch College for their annual Digital Technologies conference: DigiFest. This is a hands-on, student-led interactive celebration of digital technologies in education, which brings together industry experts in an expo format and students from schools across Adelaide.

Our students worked in 2 groups to present workshops on 3D printing and coding VinciBots. They also attended workshops run by other students to learn about a variety of technologies used in education. It is a highly interactive day, and our students had a lot of fun learning new skills and experiencing different technologies.

We are super proud of the way they represented Bethany throughout the day, and the kindness and patience shown as they taught their workshops. Well done DigiFest Team!

Here is what our team had to say about DigiFest:

Hannah: I enjoyed being able to present our workshop to other students and teach them how to design something to 3D print.

Gabriel: My favourite part was looking at all of the companies in the expo, and getting a JB-HIFI screen cleaner. I learnt how to use FlipAClip. Digifest isn't hard - try it!

Gabby: My favourite thing was when we were able to contribute to the debate and vote on our choice for the winner - I was glad that my choice won! It was really fun and the workshops we did were really interesting. I'm so glad I gave things a go even when I wasn't sure about doing them. 

Pippa: I really enjoyed how they ran it and how it was really good for everyone. We got to learn about really cool stuff & future technology. I loved the whole day! It was a super fun event and I wish I'd signed up for it in other years!

Elizabeth: I enjoyed making new friends from other schools, learning how to animate using FlipAClip and experiencing new apps. It was a really fun and good experience and you learn new stuff that you wouldn’t learn at school.

Jesse: I enjoyed running our own workshop and teaching other students. I liked how they had workshops that I could go to and seeing the technology in the expo.

Gabriella: I loved being able to teach others through my workshop on 3D printing. I enjoyed doing the Lego robotics workshop where we had to build a robot arm to pick things up. I just had the best day!

Krishna: It was a fun experience for my first time, and I enjoyed learning what other people were teaching us. I loved teaching others how to use the VinciBots.

Tobias: I enjoyed running the workshop teaching others how to use VinciBots. I also enjoyed the interactive debate and getting to see different technologies.

Zeke: It was the best experience! My favourite part of the day was the VR headsets, learning and the whole experience of being able to learn new skills. I enjoyed being part of the whole experience and being able to work with a great group of people. I was an amazing day!
