PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
Cultural Day
We ended last term with our whole school Cultural Day. This was an excellent display of our students’ amazing work in the Crea ve
and Performing Arts. Students and visitors took a trip around the world as we visited each classroom arrayed in the art and culture of
a different country. From glowing Japanese lanterns to Frida Kahlo artwork, with Hawaiian dancers and an Abba‐solutley special
tribute to Sweden, our classes had it all.
Later in the Hall we enjoyed performances by our school band, rock band, choir and cultural dance group.
We also celebrated our inaugural Archiborough Prize contestants. These students produced amazing portraits to represent an
individual who was important in their life. Our winners were presented with beau ful art and cra packs.

A er a delicious morning tea from the Year Six cake stall, classes took turns to have their photograph taken
with the giant sea eagle Biraban. Created from the handprints of every student at Hillsborough Public

enjoyed more crea ve arts ac vi es during the a ernoon.
I would like to congratulate and thank Mr Sco , Mrs Mullan, Mrs Dubojski and Ms Seiler for their work in organising this event. Thanks
to all of our staff who contributed so much me and effort in pu ng together displays and performances. Thanks to our Year Six

our students who have produced such beau ful art works, performed so confidently and impressed us all with their crea vity and
talent. Finally thanks to all of our parents, grandparents and community members who came out to support and celebrate our

wonderful performance. Our band were Highly Commended for their entry. Congratula ons and thank you to Ms Oosterveen, Mrs
Riggs and to Mr Gardem, Mr Allen and all our parents for their ongoing help and support.
Straw Tower Challenge
Congratula ons to our Straw Tower teams. These students have worked for weeks construc ng towers using only drinking straws. The
towers’ designs needed to be tallest and most sturdy construc ons possible in the set weight limit. Towers were tested for their load
bearing. Our teams learned a lot, problem solving, tes ng and trialling their work. Their final results were very successful with two
teams coming in the top ten. Our thanks go to Mrs Cambourn for her work with this group and to all those parents whose support is
always invaluable.
