The Family Association: Bringing Our Community Together

What an amazing 2023-24 year! The BSN Family Association (FA), an all-volunteer organisation, has supported the school family in so many ways.

The year kicked off with a fantastic Welcome BBQ, keeping the smell of Summer alive. On all four campuses, weekly coffee mornings also began in earnest, a great way to meet new people and learn more about the school. The holiday season was also filled with joy as the FA helped with decorations, spreading cheer at each campus before the break. The popular FA Quiz Night in January brought good-natured competition before a much-anticipated FA Teacher Appreciation Breakfast.

Whether it’s Chinese New Year, King’s Day, or the spectacular International Day celebration, the FA is there behind the scenes, supporting the school and serving the community. It strives to support sustainability with its volunteer-staffed secondhand uniform shop; it leads the FA Summer Fair and all the exciting events that take place that day, representing the talents from all four schools; it provides the ice-cream treats for Sports Days; adds to the festivities of the different leaving celebrations; and so much more.

The year ended with a beautiful Thank You event to celebrate achievements and everyone who volunteered during the year.

Volunteering for the FA is not just about helping out. It’s about being an active part of our community, contributing to its vibrancy and strength. Please join in and volunteer next year to continue the tradition that makes our community unique and so special. Many volunteers are always needed and all are most welcome.
