Welcome to 2010 at
 
Bold Park Community School


There is a full and busy term of community events for you all to be involved in and we encourage you to participate as fully as you can in the following:

· Wednesday 10 March from 7pm to 9pm - An evening with Maggie Dent. Maggie Dent will be speaking to parents about Building Resilience in Children and Adolescence Unplugged. Numbers are limited for this event and tickets are available from the office for $15 each.

· Saturday 13 March from 1pm - 3pm - Open Day. The school will be open for prospective families to visit the classrooms and speak with the staff.

· Wednesday 28 April from 11am – 12pm – AGM. All families are encouraged to attend the school’s Annual General Meeting next term. We welcome your interest in joining the BPCS Advisory Council and encourage you to consider nominating for this important role within the school. Nomination forms to follow later in the term.

We are also looking for family volunteers should you wish to get involved in other ways within the school such as working in the kitchen garden, library cataloguing, fundraising and event organising. In particular the school will be hosting an international conference in the middle of the year that will require as many volunteers as possible to assist. Please contact your class teaching staff or pop into the office to let us know if you can help with any of these volunteering positions. Megan Kaino and Sarah Weaving, members of the BPCS Advisory Council, will also be following up this newsflash with more detail of how to become involved.

Lastly, we will be embarking on our new building development with a new library and hall that will be built off-site and delivered mid-year, which has involved a huge level of planning to this stage. We would like to acknowledge the BPCS Advisory Council for their work on this project and in particular, that of Mark Clohessy. Keep a look out for the community boards coming very soon that will update the project with plans and fundraising targets.

Bold Park Community School is an independent co-educational school in Perth, Western Australia, catering for children aged three to fifteen years.

Bold Park CS views children as strong and powerful contributors to their own learning, and gears the curriculum to suit the individual child whilst maintaining government standards.The philosophy and teaching style of the school takes inspiration from many educational philosophers and current research including Social Constructivist philosophers/ educators John Dewey and Lev Vygotsky, nature / place based and brain research and the work of the schools of Reggio Emilia in Northern Italy,

The “Reggio” approach to learning has excited interest and admiration throughout the world and has become renowned for providing high quality education for young children. The “Reggio approach" is just that, an approach. We do not aim to copy Reggio as our culture is different from that of an Italian community. The key principles of Reggio are adapted to our own community and culture.

A unique and desirable feature of the school is the classroom structure and student to adult ratio. Small groups of children are taught by teams of teachers and teaching interns with the support of a literacy specialist, language, music, and Bluearth accredited teachers.
We have limited vacancies for students in Pre-Kindy, some primary and middle school classes. Our school offers an educational choice which values every student and provides a safe and supportive learning environment. Our students love to come to school and never want to leave.
