Hello everyone!

I hope everyone has fared okay in the windy weather!

Friday’s Mini-Muddies Challenge event for years 3-6 of

our 3MAPS Schools at Bago winery was a great

experience, and received positive comments from all

students involved. Congratulations to all of our

energetic students from 3MAPS. Hannam Vale came in

4th in the Primary Division, with Johns River 2nd and

Heron’s Creek 3rd! Six students had to link arms and

cross the finish line together in order to place.

Congratulations to all students involved. There will be

some students still getting the mud off – and parents

the washing machine may be getting the ultimate work

out!

A big thank you to the parents who helped us out …and

to Miss Craig and Mr Tomasone, who looked after our

teams! Well done 3MAPS – Here we are before the

challenge!

New website training Both Sue and Rhonda attended Wednesday’s new

School Website training day at Harrington where they

learned about the new schools website which will be

coming into vogue over the next few weeks.

Guitar and drum lessons Unfortunately Brad was unable to make it to school

for guitar and drum lessons last week, but they will be

commencing tomorrow.

Parents and carers of participating students are

reminded to make $15.00 per child per lesson

payment to the school office on either a weekly basis

or as a lump sum for the term

bring along old clothes (and shoes if they like – maybe

the ones with the mud off [a little joke]) - to change

into for the Colour Run in the afternoon.

SAM Collegial Network Event and

Workshop

Rhonda will be attending a full day session run by Mark

Sueli and Tony Smith the Auditors who will now be

auditing all things LMBR. Obviously, with a new finance

system comes new expectations! Best we know what

they are! This training will take place on 19th June. This

puts Mr. Gough and me in charge of the students on

that day!

Connecting to Country Training for

3MAPS staff Ms Dennis and Mrs Nicholson will be involved in

Connecting to Country Training which will take place at

Biripi Local Aboriginal Land Council, Port Macquarie on

18, 19 and 20 June.

8 Ways Training This training will shape our teaching and future

programming. The ideas researched and presented are

very sound and are at the core of all learning - not only

Aboriginal student learning.

And here’s what each of the symbols means (in a

nutshell…)

Hastings Principals Meeting This was the first Meeting of our ‘new’ Port Macquarie

There are 32 schools in the Hastings Region including

Lord Howe Isalnd and Norfolk Island – our Director of

Educational Leadership is Graham Small. The Meeting

was held at Wauchope Country Club.

Information Technology –

Connecting Country Schools Project The Connecting Country Schools (CCS) project was allocated funding in the 2017/18 NSW Budget. The idea is to upgrade wireless connectivity in over 900 regional and remote NSW schools. By modernising wireless technology and infrastructure, the NSW Department of Education is building for the future of education in NSW. HVPS is on the list for immediate upgrade. An information sheet outlining the benefits of the project for students, teachers, schools and school communities is attached. This exciting information was sent to us by Stephen Loquet, Chief Information Officer, Connecting Country Schools project. Work will begin this week…. Pam Everingham, Teaching Principal
