Events
School events bring learning to life and help shape our school culture. They help students build confidence, connect with others and celebrate their progress. Events also give families a chance to be involved in school life and share in their child’s achievements. Our school ensures that all upcoming events are communicated effectively to parents and the wider school community through our school Facebook page and the parent calendar in Sentral.
Burke Ward Public School events may include:
- school assemblies
- sports carnivals
- fundraising, charity and community events
- Special event weeks eg, Harmony Week and Book Week events
- excursions and incursions
- performances, concerts or school productions
- graduation and other celebrations.
- school orientation days
- open day and school tours
