Welcome back! Term 3 has started with a bang! Students have returned ready to learn and extremely settled, following expected routines and engaging in all opportunities to learn. It has been an AMAZING first week and we are looking forward to an exciting term ahead!
At Hillsmeade we have launched our school-wide Kindness Campaign where we are focusing on being kind to others and ourselves. Students will be provided with opportunities to reflect on what kind words or actions they have displayed throughout the school day and will be encouraged to be kind, reflecting our value of KINDNESS. During Term 3, teachers will be awarding students with raffle tickets when they are 'caught' being kind in the yard providing an opportunity to win a canteen voucher if successfully being drawn out of the Kindness Campaign bucket!
