A fabulous NSW DoE school on Sydney's Northern Beaches.

It's a magical day when children officially start their education journey, for children and parents alike. We are excited to welcome our 2021 Kindergarten children to BNPS today! @NSWEducation

It's Dance Sport Confidence Competition time! Not quite the Olympic Centre, but just as competitive! Thank you @GilkesGilkes for visiting @BalgowlahNthPS this morning to film and judge this amazing Yr 5 program.

Happy Book Week – Curious Creatures, Wild Minds! Great to see so many of our schools celebrating books and the importance of reading. Love the fun and the costumes from @WaitaraPublic, @WestwallsendHS and @BalgowlahNthPS. #BookWeek2020

We've almost finished Book Week cover to cover! 📖

From dragons to drawing, there's been a lot of activity and imagination in our schools this week.

It was a fabulous #BookWeek2020 celebration today. So much creativity and so many favourite characters on parade! @NSWEducation

Our principal, Mrs Keevers, and deputy principal, Mrs Norrie, are loving #BookWeek2020 ! More photos to come!

How fantastic does our new #PBL signage look? We've been a PBL school for many years, but our fantastic @BalgowlahNthPS PBL team have spent the last 12 months evaluating, planning and relaunching our PBL focus. Love it.

We welcomed everyone back this morning with happy tunes, bubbles and our Kindys waved goodbye to their parents at the gate and walked in with their Yr 6 buddies. An amazing atmosphere! Thanks parents for the support and understanding! @NSWEducation @mscott @dizdarm

Our brand new futsal field has been handed over this afternoon! It will be ready for playing on early next week! What an incredible resource for our kids!

[Belinda Norrie @BelNorrie]

PPE, hygiene resources, more hand sanitiser and a thermometer just arrived today, and our extra cleaner started this week too for day time cleaning. Good stuff!! @GeorgeHarrisson @NSWEducation @mscott @dizdarm

So excited to share @thevisionhub @misterAOY visualisation of @BalgowlahNthPS School Plan. Clear, driven and evidence-informed. We love it!

Week 3 organised and communicated...let's see what (and who!) tomorrow brings! Another huge day in teams remotely collaboratively programming and planning. @BalgowlahNthPS

[Balgowlah North PS @BalgowlahNthPS]

Our SDD was a huge, successful day of learning and collaboration. Our teachers engaged remotely with each other, planning, completing @NSWEducation on demand PL, hearing from @mscott and @dizdarm , and important #mindfulness PL as we begin our @Smiling_Mind project.

[Belinda Norrie @BelNorrie]

Whole staff zoom PL with @Smiling_Mind today. Such great timing to focus on #wellbeing for our students and staff. @BalgowlahNthPS

[Balgowlah North PS @BalgowlahNthPS]

Thank you to all involved for getting our new futsal field started! In a few weeks, we'll have a beautiful new space to play on. This will be particularly fabulous as we start to slowly welcome everyone back on site from Week 3 onwards.

[Belinda Norrie @BelNorrie]

The futsal field has started! This is a huge project to get off the ground and a massive relief to see it on its way. @BalgowlahNthPS

[Balgowlah North PS @BalgowlahNthPS]

We love our new playground markings! We can't wait to use them once we are all back at school!

[Belinda Norrie @BelNorrie]

New playground marking today! This will be such a treat when we are all back onsite! @BalgowlahNthPS
