Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to Term 3. It is hard to believe we have already reached this point in the year. I trust the break provided your family with some rest, quality time together and an opportunity to recharge.
A particular welcome is extended to the new students and families joining Bacchus Marsh Grammar this term. We are pleased to have you as part of our community and trust you will settle in well.
As we return, I want to reaffirm the school’s commitment to maintaining a calm, structured and focused learning environment for every student. We continue to set high expectations and appreciate the support of families in reinforcing these at home. Our collective goal remains clear: to support each student in achieving their personal best, both academically and in their broader development.
Parent/Teacher Interviews will take place later this term. If you have not already done so, I encourage you to review your child’s Semester 1 report, available via Schoolbox. These interviews are a valuable opportunity to reflect on progress and discuss ways to support continued growth and achievement.
Term 3 is also an ideal time for students to engage in the wide range of extracurricular opportunities that are available. Whether through sport, music, debating and public speaking, chess club, or other activities, these experiences contribute significantly to personal development and a strong sense of connection to school life. We encourage all students to get involved, perhaps even trying something new. Participation in extracurricular programs also earns students valuable points towards their School Colours.
I look forward to the term ahead and thank you for your continued support.
Mrs Debra Ogston – Principal
