HANNAM VALE PUBLIC SCHOOL – EXCELLENCE & OPPORTUNITY HANNAM VALE PUBLIC SCHOOL – EXCELLENCE & OPPORTUNITY

Dear Parents, Carers, Students and Staff,

What a wonderful sense of community I

experienced this past fortnight. What a great show

of support to have our whole parent body and

many of our wider community members join us to

celebrate the performing arts, learning, and the

progress of your children, our students, at our

annual musical. Thank you.

Today, swim school kicked off. We are so fortunate

to have this excellent program available to us so

that we can enable our students to develop safe

swimming habits and water safety skills.

Please ensure that your child has the appropriate

gear each day. If they do not have their swimmers,

they will have to sit by the pool and miss their

lesson that day.

If you plan to take your child straight to the pool in

the morning, please inform the school via email or

phone before 9am. We will be leaving at 9am each

day and will not be able to wait for late students. If

you are late, please transport your child to the

Kendal Pool.

We will be having a “Meet the Principal” event for

students and staff to meet the new permanent

principal for HVPS – Mrs Kate Brace. You are

Learning value of the fortnight

What is it: Getting below the surface of what

you are learning; being curious.

When you use this learning muscle, you …

Are not afraid of not knowing

Are curious about things and people

Like to get below the surface of things

and come up with your own conclusion

Often wonder “why”

Play with ideas, asking “How come?”

and “What if?”

P&C News

Musical

Wow! What a treat! Congratulations to staff and

students on a job well done! Thank you also for

our wonderful school community for supplying us

with such an array of yummy treats!

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.
