Term 3 Wrap-Up
As we come to the end of Term 3, it is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on everything we have achieved together at Badger Creek Primary School. I would like to sincerely thank our incredible staff, families, and the wider community for the energy, support, and care you continue to give our students. It is through this partnership that we create the vibrant, nurturing, and inspiring school community we are all so proud to be part of.
This term has been filled with rich learning experiences, exciting events, and memorable opportunities for our students. Some highlights include:
- Completion of the Harvest Garden, designed with student input and installed over the holiday period.
- A curriculum day where staff focused on School Wide Positive Behaviours and strategies to strengthen classroom support.
- The Year 5/6 Snow Trip to Lake Mountain.
- Our whole-school participation in the NAIDOC Deadly Door competition, with every class acknowledged for their creativity and effort.
- Year 4 students supporting kindergarten visits as part of the Prep transition program.
- Swimming lessons for Prep to Year 4 students at the Healesville Indoor Pool.
- A Year 5/6 excursion to the Werribee Open Range Zoo.
- Recognition of Badger Creek P.S. as a “Fighting Extinction School”, with students proudly presenting at the Expo to the public and Sanctuary staff.

To finish the term, we have exciting events to look forward to next week

- Whole school on the last day of term Colour Run to raise funds for the Healesville Sanctuary Leadbeater Possums and to purchase items for the planting of the Harvest Graden
It has been a busy and rewarding term, and I could not be prouder of what our students and staff have accomplished together.
As we head into the holidays, I encourage everyone to take time to rest, recharge, and enjoy time with family and friends. We look forward to returning refreshed for the final term of 2025.
