Dear Parents, Carers, Students and Staff,
It is the last newsletter for the year of 2018.
Firstly, massive thanks must be made to Jenny and
Michelle for braving heat and cold to deliver two-weeks
of intensive swimming to all our students.
This week we are celebrating the educational careers of
our five Year 6 students, as they embark on their
journey through to high school. Well-done, gang. Wave
that Hannam Vale flag high and enjoy the changes that
Camden Haven High School have to offer you.
Today, Mrs Kate Brace joined us for a planning day and
got to meet the staff and students at HVPS.
On Thursday, we welcome our newest student, Jack
Drew, to join us for the morning and see what ‘big
school’ is all about! What a great opportunity to learn the
ins and outs of our great school!
We are also celebrating the year of 2018 at our annual
presentation morning on Wednesday, 10:00am at the
Hannam Vale Community Hall. We are very much
looking forward to seeing everybody there as we give
out awards, tell jokes, sing some carols and enjoy the
success of our students.
Thus, our school year ends. School will resume for all
students on Wednesday, 30 January 2019. Have a safe
and happy summer break! Thank you for the support
and respect that you showed my staff and I throughout
the year. It is not easy, allowing a new person to come
in mid-year.
Thanks everyone for your continued support,
Sam Small Teaching Principal

P&C News Uniforms
Just a reminder for anyone wishing to order
uniforms between now and the end of the year, that
there are order forms available at the office. If you
complete this and leave the order (with payment)
at the office, it will be filled and delivered through
your child.
100 Club
Over the next few weeks of term, the P&C have
decided to run what is known as a “100 Club.” This
is so that we can raise a few extra dollars in
fundraising due to many of our events being
rained-out this year. The premise is as follows:
100 numbers will be for sale at the cost of $10.00
each.
When all of the numbers have been sold, the 100
Club will be drawn by a random number generator.
We will have three winning numbers.
1st will receive $400.00
2nd will receive 100.00
3rd will receive $50.00
The manager of the Hannam Vale General Store
has agreed to keep the draw at the store to make
it available to all of our community. Thank you
Karen! The form is there now.
This is a great opportunity to win some extra cash
for Christmas! Thanks in advance for supporting
our fundraising efforts.
P&C Meeting
Our next P&C Meeting will be held on Friday 14
December at 8.30am at school. All Welcome.
Quote of the Week
