Happy Holidays! HILL END PUBLIC SCHOOL

151 YEARS Secretary’s School

Achievement Award

The Golden Quill

It has been a very busy

week at Hill End Public

School as we finish off

our studies on Material

World. This term we

have built bird houses,

pet rock houses, cata-

pults, flick flacks and

Pin wheels. To finish

the topic off the

students, in pairs, had

to design something to

hold or encase a raw

egg as it is dropped

from a height. They

had to combine the

knowledge that they

have learned during the

topic on Material Prop-

erties and come up with

a design. On Wednes-

day afternoon we

opened our classroom

up to visitors and tested

the designs. I am glad to

say that every egg

survived both a 1 metre

and 2 metre drop.

Fantastic achievement

to the students engineer-

ing skills. A big

thankyou to all of the

visitors who came along

to enjoy the BBQ and

the experiment.

The staff are busy plan-

ning lots of exciting

and engaging tasks for

the next term. Our

topic for next term is

Agriculture based

around food and fibre

production. Stay tuned

for where this might

take us…..

Have a fantastic and

relaxing holiday and

we look forward to

seeing all the students

smiling faces on

Tuesday 13th July.

Next Wednesday is World Health Day. Every year World Health Day is celebrated on 7 April to mark

the anniversary of the founding of WHO in 1948. Each year a theme is selected for World Health Day that

highlights a priority area of concern for WHO.

World Health Day is a global campaign, inviting everyone – from global leaders to the public in all coun-

tries – to focus on a single health challenge with global impact. Focusing on new and emerging health is-

sues, World Health Day provides an opportunity to start collective action to protect people’s health and

well-being. Stay safe everyone, Fiona

Adalyn and Imogen had a wonderful afternoon with Mrs Rayner and Mrs Kimm last Friday.

Along with all the fun and games we also had four visitors to the school. Michael and Mark Askew who came to

purchase our 150th books. Greg and Olive Laughton also came for a visit. (Olive is an ex-teacher, now 94)

Olive loved meeting our students and she kindly donated $100.00 towards books for them.
