Everyone has only 24 hours in a day, precious and short.
And for nearly eight hours a day, between 8.00 am and 3.45 pm, children learn, play, exercise and grow in school, while teachers teach and help the children.
When the sun sets and the moon rises, how will the children look back on a full and rushed day when they return home?
And for parents, how can they find out what is going on with their children when they are not with them for eight hours?
Effective communication between home and school is the "magic" that beats time at BMH.
Not to mention the parent-teacher meetings, coffee mornings and back-to-school nights that take place every term, every parent can witness their child's development on the school's Seesaw platform every day.
We want to make sure that the children take centre stage, the school always leads and the parents are never absent.
Seesaw is a simple way for teachers and students to record and share what's happening in the classroom. It gives students a place to document their learning, be creative and learn how to use technology. Each student gets their own journal and will add things to it, like photos, videos, drawings, or notes.

When there are new Seesaw posts, families can be notified via app notification, email or SMS. Parents are only notified about their own child’s work, and all data is safe and secure. Teachers will post student homework on Seesaw, so make sure you check each class page regularly. If you need to contact a teacher, click on the INBOX button and write to them directly.
