From the Principal ....
Dear BANB6 Community
A warm welcome back to term two. It has been great to see the children’s smiling faces again this week and we look forward to an exciting term of learning, fun and challenges.
Term 2 is shaping up to be an action-packed term for our learners both in and out of the studio. We are hopeful that term 2 will not be as disruptive as term one was with COVID, but we will continue to take what comes and handle it in the best possible way. We are a resilient school community at BANB6 and will take whatever the term throws at us in our stride.

To all of our families who have waited patiently for this announcement, I offer you my gratitude for sticking with us and trusting us. We understand the importance of being able to offer our community an out of hours and vacation care service and we are thrilled that this will now be able to happen.

Wishing every member of the BANB6 community a fabulous term 2.
Kind Regards
