General Information & Reminders

Dear Parents,

Welcome to Term 1 in Grade 3! We have had a great start to the year and it has been very pleasing to see the children smoothly adapt to new expectations and routines. We would like to extend a big welcome to those families who are new to HPS. We are excited about the teaching and learning opportunities coming up this term and look forward to some engaging and challenging activities with your children.

The first two weeks of the term will be dedicated to getting to know our new classes and working through our Start-Up program. This important time supports students in building new friendships, developing strong relationships, revisiting school routines and expectations, and reinforcing our school norms of Collaboration, Aspiration, Integrity, and Resilience.

2026 Year 3 Team:

3A - Aedan Gordon

3B - Michael Pitinga

3C - Fallon Levett & Daphne Fourniotis (Mondays)

3D - Madi Grace & Laura Fraser (Thursdays)
