Lightning Premiership!

Last week, our Year 6 students proudly represented Hillsmeade at the Lightning Premiership. Volleyball, Kickball and Rugby were played away at Tulliallan, while Cricket and Basketball were hosted at home. Across the day, our students competed against five other schools, giving their all in each game.

We are immensely proud of the way our students represented Hillsmeade with pride, consistently demonstrating our school values and playing with outstanding sportsmanship.

A special congratulations goes to our Rugby team, who finished equal first! We also came away with a number of runners-up pennants in Volleyball, Kickball and Girls’ Basketball.

Well done to all of our Year 6 students – you should be very proud of your efforts!

End of Term!

As Term 3 comes to a close, it’s hard to believe how quickly the year is flying by!

Our Year 6 students have worked incredibly hard throughout the term and have well and truly earned a well-deserved break.

We are excited to be heading into Term 4 – a busy, fun and exciting term filled with opportunities and memories. The final chapter of Primary School awaits, and we can’t wait to see all that our Year 6 students will achieve in their last term at Hillsmeade!
