Assistant Principal's Report

Dear HPS Community,

Welcome back to 2024

We hope all our families had a wonderful holiday season and feel relaxed and recharged for another busy year at HPS. It has been a great start to the year with the students settling in over the past few days really well.

Wellbeing - Duke the Groodle

Duke was introduced to HPS in May 2023. Duke participated in a 12 week training program before starting his work supporting students at Heidelberg.

We have a mentorship with Dogs Connect which has supported us to be compliant with having a dog at the school. This includes members of staff that have completed the training to support the work. If you are a new family to school, we invite you to complete the attached brief survey to assist in supporting students and their families.

I have included some photos from Duke's Summer holiday to the beach. I have also included a portrait taken of Duke over the break.
