PYP Exhibition – A Wonderful Celebration of Learning!
What a fantastic experience our PYP Exhibition was! It was wonderful to see our Senior School students proudly sharing their learning, ideas and discoveries with our school community.
The students explored a range of important real-world issues, demonstrating a deep understanding of their chosen topics and a genuine passion for making a difference. The quality of work produced was outstanding, reflecting the many hours of research, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity that went into their inquiries.
We were incredibly proud of the confidence, knowledge and enthusiasm students displayed as they presented their learning and answered questions. It was wonderful to see them take ownership of their learning and demonstrate the skills and attributes they have developed throughout their PYP journey.
A huge congratulations to all our Senior School students on such an impressive achievement! You should be extremely proud of yourselves, as we certainly are!
A special thank you to our dedicated teachers, mentors and families for supporting the students throughout this journey.
Grandparents and Special Friends Afternoon
What a wonderful afternoon we had welcoming our grandparents and special friends to Heany Park! There were lots of smiles, laughter and plenty of fun as students enjoyed spending time with their special visitors.
The afternoon began with a lovely performance of "You've Got a Friend in Me", sung by our students to their grandparents and special friends. This was followed by a wonderful range of activities, with something for everyone to enjoy, including sharing stories, origami, Chinese calligraphy, old-fashioned games, board games and card games. The Jenga competitions were certainly a highlight, with some impressive towers, nervous hands and plenty of laughter as they came crashing down!
Despite the heat, everyone joined in the fun, although we suspect a few grandparents went home ready for a well-earned rest!
A huge thank you to all our grandparents and special friends for joining us and making the day so special. We loved having you visit and hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

House Athletics
Our House Athletics Day is coming up on Thursday 12th November, and we would love to have some parent helpers join us for the day!
We’re looking for parents who can lend a hand with events, recording results, and helping the day run smoothly.
Please note that all parent helpers must have a current Working with Children Check (WWCC).
If you’re available to lend a hand, we would really appreciate it!
Please email kate.draper@education.vic.gov.au as soon as you can.
Thanks so much for your support – it makes a big difference to our students and helps make the day fun for everyone!
Go Heany Park! 🏃♀️🏃♂️
Accessible Parking Spaces -A Friendly Reminder
We kindly remind all families that the designated accessible parking spaces at our school are reserved for vehicles displaying a valid disability parking permit.
These spaces are essential for members of our school community who require easier and safer access to the school. Even stopping for just a few minutes can make it difficult for someone who genuinely needs the space.
We ask everyone to be considerate and respectful by keeping these spaces available for those who need them.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping make Heany Park a safe and accessible place for everyone.
Wellbeing
Please make sure you are paying attention to your own well-being and getting support if need be.
We hope your child has an amazing year at Heany Park PS. Please always let us know if you have any questions or concerns. We are only a phone call or email away.
