How wonderful was Book Week at HPS?!!

And the fun doesn't end there! We are looking forward to a jam packed end of Term 3, with many school events planned!

FATHERS and SPECIAL OTHERS BREAKFAST

FOOTY DAY

Next Friday 8th September we have Footy Day! We encourage all students to come dressed in their team's favourite colours. Remember - footy can be many codes, AFL, NRL, Rugby Union, soccer etc. So feel free to show your support for your favourite team!

MAD DAY

Also on Friday 8th September is Year 6 MAD Day. Our year 6 students have been busy preparing their small business ideas to sell their products to all HPS students. Students are encouraged to bring gold coins along and see what is on offer! MAD Day will be held in the gym for students between 9am - 12pm.

THE COLOUR EXPLOSION

Has your family started raising money yet?!! There are many great prizes on offer and the school will be putting the money raised towards a 'GAGA PIT" as requested by the SRC. Don't hesitate to ask your child what a GAGA PIT is! SRC are very passionate about ensuring enough money is raised for this item to be built for all students to enjoy.

Don't forget - The Colour Explosion will be in the afternoon of Thursday 14th September - more details on exact times are to follow, but we welcome the community to come along and watch this crazy event!!

RUOK DAY Thursday 14th September

Each year around mid September RUOK DAY is held across Australia. Here at Hillsmeade we like to recognise this day by completing activities in the classroom and perhaps spoiling our students with a little treat at some point throughout the day. This is a significant day for all of our community to consider checking in on each other and asking the important question "Are You Ok?" If you would like more resources and/or support, please refer to this website for further information: https://www.ruok.org.au/

END OF TERM DISMISSAL 2.30pm

Friday 15th September is the last day of Term 3. All students will be dismissed at 2.30pm, with OSHC available from this time.
