Principal’s Report

Education Week

This week is Education Week, the theme being Shared

Stories, Better Learning and Stronger Communities.

During this week our school community will have the

opportunity to visit the school to see first-hand the

great things achieved day-in, day-out by students and

teachers. Today was our Open Day where parents and

guests were invited into the school to view

classrooms, enjoy a concert and share a sausage sizzle

with our students. The day commenced at 10:15am

and the afternoon session involved students in a mini-

Olympics activity. Tomorrow, our parliamentarians

and school captains will continue to celebrate

Education Week, by taking part in leadership activities

at Hay War Memorial High School.

Ready Set Kinder

Today was the launch of our Ready, Set, Kinder

program where our prospective students for 2017

enjoyed a Teddy Bears’ picnic with their teachers Mrs

continue every Wednesday for the remainder of the

year and is an extended transition program, designed

to provide every one of our students with a prior to
