Head of Primary Years' Report
Dear Parents, Carers and Friends of Hazel Glen College,
What a fantastic term it has been so far, and I can't believe we are already more than halfway through the term.
Year 3 Camp
This week, I had the opportunity to attend Urban Camp with our Year 3 students and their teaching and support staff team. This was the first camp experience for many of our students and they thoroughly enjoyed the activities that were planned for them. A trip into the city by bus, a visit to the aquarium and a tour to learn more about our marine life, arriving at our accommodation and setting up their rooms, a night walk to the zoo and a self-guided tour with their classes the following day. Urban Camp was a wonderful facility and the students enjoyed the meals, games and comfortable rooms.
Art and Technology Showcase
A big thank you and congratulations to Mr Chris Richardson for his leadership in showcasing artwork from all of our students across the Primary Years. The gallery set up was fantastic and we were very proud to see all of the pieces of artwork displayed in such a professional way. Thank you to the families who attended across our College and we look forward to this important community event held each year.
