Meet the Teacher

I hope you found the Meet the Teacher interviews a worth while experience. We seemed to have a better

than usual response. Our next interviews are not scheduled until the start of Term 3. Please remember, if

you would like to discuss your child with their teacher, please make a mutually agreeable time.

9am is not the appropriate time.

Regional Swimming

Congratulations to Troy on another personal best at the Regional Swimming Carnival at

Homebush last Tuesday. A great achievement and you should be very proud.

Congratulations to all our students who have trialled to represent the Hawkesbury in a number of sports. The following

students have been selected. Alexis: Girls Football (soccer), Nicholas: Boys Football (soccer), Jayden: Cricket; Brodie: Rugby

League and Jack: Tennis. I will keep you posted on their future progress. Best of luck for the up coming competitions and

congratulations on this great achievement.

Easter Hat Parade and Cross Country

Our annual Easter Hat Parade and Cross Country will be held on Friday 12th April (last day of term). Students will be making

something to carry or wear as part of Peer Support. You are very welcome to make a hat at home for your child to wear if you

wish. The Parade will start at approx. 10am, followed by a morning tea with your child. Hot Cross Buns will be available to pre

order from the canteen as well as Tea and Coffee. The Cross Country will start after recess with a non competitive fun run for

our K-2 students. Competitive races for 8/9 year old’s, 10, 11 & 12/13 will start at approximately 12 noon and in that order.
