Last week we held our ANZAC Ceremony to commemorate the bravery, sacrifice and memory of the Australian and New Zealand servicemen and women who have served their country. We would like to thank all special guests, families, staff and students who attended the Ceremony. Lest We Forget.

WA STUDENT ASSISTANCE PAYMENT

You will need the 8 digit WA student number (WASN) for each student. You can find this number on:

If you are still unable to locate your child’s WASN, please visit the Administration Office.

The Children's University program provides opportunities for children and their families to engage with the local and wider community to participate in fun and engaging learning activities offered by validated Children's University Learning Destinations. These places include public libraries, zoos, parks, museums, art galleries, theatres, sporting clubs, school clubs as well as businesses. A full list of Learning Destinations can be viewed here: https://www.ecu.edu.au/schools/education/childrens-university-wa

Students enrolled in Children's University are issued with a ‘Passport to Learning’, which records their individual learning journey. After 30 or 35 hours of learning, the children’s participation is recognised through the award of certificates presented at a graduation ceremony held at Edith Cowan University.

If your child attends Balga Primary School, and you would like them to participate in Children's University, please visit the Balga Primary School Admin Office or speak to Mr Schultz.

6 of our amazing students were presented with certificates for participating in the Children's University Program and completing additional hours of learning. One amazing aspect of this program is seeing the pride and admiration of the families for these students and how they have also contributed to and helped their child succeed in the program.

Thanks to Together For Humanity, we have won a grant to support the establishment of a cultural action plan at Balga Primary School.
