Surfside Buslines

As of the start of Term 1 – 2020, the Surfside PM school buses will display a new school number which will be different to the AM and current PM school numbers. We advise all students and parents to check the Surfside School website for updates before Term 1 – 2020. www.surfside.com.au.

Has your school bus route changed?

Each year, some school bus routes and timetables may change due to new student enrolments or changes to school bell times. Please check with your local school bus operator before Term 1 begins to see if your school bus route or time is affected.

QuickSmart Pizza Party

Almost 70 students celebrated 30 weeks of hard work in Quicksmart this year, with Pizza and Miss Carol's renown icecream slice, underneath the trees in the quad. All students received a graduation certificate, and there were also special awards for students who had the highest attendance, growth in their results, success in the Flashcard Challenge and commitment to the program. Many thanks to teacher Aides Carol Johnstone, Liz Carter and Marissa Lawry, who through their professionalism and passion for supporting students ensures Quicksmart's ongoing success at PBC. 

    

Rock and Water

Rock and Water is a student program about self-regulation – students learn to be rocks when they need to be assertive and stand up for themselves; and to be water when they need to let things wash over them. The students enjoyed the program which included many activities, one of which was chopping a piece of wood in half with their bare hands!
