Hearing our students share their Burnside journey makes us proud every time. ๐
With the support of staff and their own determination, theyโve accomplished so much. Best of luck as you start university and remember to keep in touch! ๐
Today marked the beginning of new challenges, new friendships and new opportunities. We couldnโt be more proud of how our students started this year. ๐
Day one of the 2025 - 2026 school year is officially in the bag! ๐
From fresh exercise books to reconnecting with friends after summer our students filled the classrooms and hallways with excitement, determination and bright smiles.
Please remember, that all student absences must now be reported via the ClassCharts app. If youโre reporting absence for more than one child, simply repeat the process for each student.
