A huge shout out to all our families who came and shared the
wonderful experience of our Family Night on Friday 13th
September. With delicious pizzas provided by our local
pizzeria chef, Charlie Cannon - a huge thank you. A special
acknowledgement to our local Icecream and Coffee Vans who
were busy serving up the ever popular icecream and
cappuccinos. It was wonderful to see so many families taking
this opportunity to visit their children’s classrooms and sharing
in the wonderful work that has been done so far this year. It
was great to see our robotics on show. Mr Dixon and Mr Main
coordinated this very popular activity. Drumming, organised
by Mrs Delich turned out an assortment of tunes in the Clare

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making the
Family Night a huge success!
Thank you to all the teachers, students, parents and community members who attended our Family Night last Friday 13th September. It was wonderful to have so many people come along and celebrate the amazing efforts of all the students at Boyanup Primary School. Stay tuned for our next exciting whole school reward which will take place in Term 4.
Our You Can Do It! focus this fortnight is Happiness. People who are happy and successful are very good at solving problems without fighting. The more you practise thinking before reacting, the smarter and more successful you will be in solving problems.
People can do lots of things to help themselves feel happy. This is especially important to know when you are feeling sad. Being grateful, or thankful, for what you have and what other people have done for you is one thing you can do to make yourself happy. So pay attention to the positive things in your life – don’t just pay attention to the bad things and what you don’t have.
Positive Behaviour Support and You Can Do It!

As the weather warms up, it’s time to get the gloves on and get into the garden. The Pre Primary class was kept busy today planting out the trays of vegetable seedlings donated by Holly Harris. The seedlings are so healthy they were nearly jumping out of the trays! Thank you Holly for your kind donation of seedlings, seeds and fertiliser! Produce grown in the school vegetable garden can be purchased for a small donation towards our Waste Wise projects.
Just a reminder that Magpie breeding season is also upon us. It is not uncommon for magpies to defend their nests and young during spring by swooping intruders. The season may last for 6 to 8 weeks during late August to December. Magpies rely largely on intimidation to deter human intruders by flying low and fast, often clacking their bill as they pass overhead. This behaviour can be alarming, but usually is only a bluff. A magpie may strike an intruder on the head with its bill, causing possible injury, but these strikes are rare.
What can you do to avoid or reduce the impact of a swooping magpie:
Never deliberately provoke or harass a magpie. Throwing sticks or stones usually makes them more defensive. Magpies have good memories and they may continuously swoop a potential aggressor.
Avoid areas where magpies are known to swoop. Remember, magpie hostility lasts only a few weeks and they usually only defend a small area of about 100m radius around their nest.
Locate the bird and keep watching it when entering its territory. If it swoops, don’t crouch in fear or stop, move on quickly but don’t run.
If you are riding a bike make sure you wear a helmet, dismount and walk through nesting magpie territory.
Wear a hat and sunglasses or carry an umbrella for protection. Magpies initially attack from behind but can swoop back around.
Adopt a confident stance as this can have a strong deterrent effect.
Remember that the magpies are just trying to protect their young. Learning to live alongside wildlife is an important step towards building a better living environment, and observing and listening to magpies can be an enjoyable experience.
Native Plants for Community
Success for Jake
Deb from Meadowbrooke
Lifestyle Estate came last
week to collect the rest of
the native plants that were
donated by Boyanup
Botanicals. Some will be
planted at Meadowbrooke
and the remainder will be
planted along the Preston
River Ramble.
Spring Is Here!
Last week Jake Swainson
returned from Queensland
competing in the
Gymnastics National Clubs
in Trampolining. Jake
competed in trampolining
