Sibling Priority for 2024
If your child is due to start Reception with us here at Bethany Christian School in 2024 and you have not heard from our Enrolment Officer, please ensure you call the school to secure your child’s position.

Interviews to fill our 2024 Reception classes will commence in May 2022 and a secured position may not be available after this time.

Withdrawal Policy
Should you decide to transfer your children to another school, then the school requires written notification one term in advance of the withdrawal of the children. This enables the school to plan ahead with possible enrolments to replace the children. If written notification is not given, then one term’s fees will be charged.

Every year, all schools in Australia participate in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD). The NCCD process requires schools to identify information already available in the school about supports provided to students with disability. These relate to legislative requirements under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and the Disability Standards for Education 2005, in line with the NCCD guidelines (2019).
Please click on this link to read a letter explaining this process in more detail.

Further information about the NCCD can be found on the NCCD Portal (https://www.nccd.edu.au).

If you have any questions about the NCCD, please contact a member of the Diverse Learning Team.

We love it when our students are active and the Premier’s Be Active Challenge is all about building health and fitness.

Our school will once again be involved in the challenge.

The Premier’s Be Active Challenge (PBAC) is open to all students from Pre-school to Year 12.

The challenge is that students are physically active for at least 60 minutes each day for any 5 days in a 7 day week. This needs to occur for 4 weeks in a row. Remember, you can be physically active in different ways for 5 or 10 minutes that to equal 60 minutes per day. You don’t have to set aside a 60 minute block if you don’t want to.

A copy of the log book has been sent out to your child via their classroom shortly. A copy is available on the school’s website: PBAC Form. Once the challenge is finished, please return the signed form to your child’s class teacher for them to sign off and process.

Some classes are doing this as a whole class, while other classes will be sending home a pre-named sheet, so check with your teacher for more details.

Here’s some ideas of activities your child can do to complete this challenge:

In November each student who has completed the PBAC will be presented with a medal. There are different medals for each year of completion. Those students who are in our ELC will receive a certificate.

Please check out the PBAC website https://pbac.sa.edu.au/ for some more great ideas on being active and any other information.

The 4 week challenge can be done anytime from now up to the end of Term 3

All the best with being physically active and we look forward to seeing your forms come in throughout next term.

Congratulations to the following students who have completed the Premier's Reading Challenge.

We would like to say well done to the following students for completing the Premier's Be Active Challenge.

Each year Bethany holds a Jump Off Day to raise funds for the Heart Foundation which is a great cause.

This program promotes participation and exercise which allows the students the opportunity to learn about skipping whilst keeping their hearts healthy. The day was originally planned for Friday 18th, but with bad weather approaching we made the quick change to Tuesday 22nd June.

It was an awesome day where everyone had a great time. Throughout the day our students participated in lots of skipping and jumping activities using both short and long ropes, while also having fun with a jumping sack relay race!

The Year 2 - 6 program finished with each student having a chance to showcase their short rope skills, and then being a part of the final ‘Jump Off’. Well done to everyone one involved.

Congratulations to the individuals who were awarded prizes on the day!

We would like to thank the following people for their help to make the run smoothly:

• The maintenance team for help with the set up and/or pack down on the day.
• The teachers for their help leading up to and on the Jump Off Day itself – we really appreciated your support.
• Every student for your participation, encouragement and awesome attitude on the day.
• And finally, the parents, families and friends for your support through sponsoring the students and all your encouragement. We raised a brilliant amount of money this year!
