Recorder Information
Limited Availability for Beginners
The HPS Recorder program is off to a fantastic start for 2024 with lessons and ensemble rehearsals commencing on Tuesday and Wednesday this week, setting sweet music echoing out from the Cottage on Cape Street.
On 8.2, twelve Grade 1 beginners could be seen walking in time together in single file through the top school – already we’re practising the way to keep a steady beat while on our way to the very first lesson!
PARENTS PLEASE NOTE: Extra enrolment enquiries in the past few days have been fast filling up available lesson time. Enquiries are welcome to fionawalters@ioville.net but very few opportunities for new enrolments remain.
Happy music making!

Nut Aware
Heidelberg Primary School is a NUT AWARE SCHOOL
An allergic reaction or anaphylaxis can occur through ingestion of nut products, cross contamination, breathing nut dust in the air and touching nuts products or surfaces that have been exposed to nuts.
A school that identifies itself as Nut Aware, usually asks for the parents of every child, whether they are allergic to nuts or not, to consider peanut and tree nut alternatives when planning individually packed lunches.
Since this condition can be life threatening, we are asking all members of the school community for their help in minimising the risk to these children by:
- Avoiding giving children nuts or nut products in their packed lunches.
- Avoiding giving nuts or nut products or snacks / bars containing nuts for recess snacks
- Avoiding supplying the school with cakes or food items containing nuts (or traces of nuts) for birthday celebrations.
- Heidelberg Primary school does not allow students to share food.
Foods that are labelled “may have been produced in a factory handling nuts and cannot be guaranteed to be nut free”, will be allowed at school.
We thank you in advance for your cooperation and support regarding this matter.
