Welcome to Bally Boys

 

Welcome to the Bally community!

Bally is a great school with dedicated staff who really care about our boys. They listen to them and they work to develop educational and vocational pathways that bring out the best in every individual.

The Bally Boys P&C prides itself on having a great relationship with our school and we play a valuable role in bridging the gap between the school and the parent community.

As parents, we all want to help the school guide our sons on their way to becoming young men we can all be proud of. High school is different from primary school. Bally students are encouraged to be more independent, to self-manage and to take responsibility. There’s often less day-to-day contact for parents, so to help you stay connected, the P&C has made a To Do list.

1. Come along to a P&C Meeting

Held on the 2nd Tuesday of every month during school terms, there are 8 meetings a year. Meetings last about 2 hours and are usually held in the staff common room. Come in through the school office and head to the back of the building.  We are a friendly bunch!

Upcoming P&C General Meetings

Term three

  • Tuesday August 13th

  • Tuesday September 10th

Term four

6. Support the school canteen

The P&C runs the canteen, which is a valuable source of income for us. Please support the canteen whenever you can. The food is great!

Encourage your son to join the various sporting teams, bands and lunch clubs on offer. Play chess. Join the SRC. Do Drama. Year 7 is a great time to explore and try out all the different opportunities at the school.
