BPS Pupil Free Days and School Closure Days

Each year schools are able to schedule 4 pupil free days to focus on staff professional learning and one day as a school closure. We use the professional days to continue our curriculum work aligned to the Site Improvement Plan.
The school closure day occurs after our school musical in term 4.
We thank the BPS Governing Council for their endorsement of these days for 2024.
