A message from Mr Renshaw

SchoolBytes - Transition to Family Communication

From Term 3, Hurstville Public School will transition from School eNews to SchoolBytes as our main platform for communicating with families.

This change will help streamline communication for parents and carers, bringing more school information into one platform. For the remainder of Term 2, we will continue using School eNews and SchoolBytes as we prepare for the transition. From Term 3, School eNews will no longer be used.

Thank you for your support as we work towards a more consistent and efficient communication process for our school community.

Interpreter Interviews – Tuesday 21 July

Interpreter interviews will be held on Tuesday, 21 July 2026, in Term 3 Week 1.

These interviews will take place in the school Library. Appointment times will be confirmed in writing once all requests have been received and organised.

If you require an interpreter for your Parent–Teacher interview, please complete the interpreter request slip attached to the original note and return it to your child’s class teacher by this Friday, 26 June 2026.

Please note that families requiring an interpreter do not need to book online. Bookings made online will be cancelled if an interpreter interview is booked.

A copy of the original Parent–Teacher Interview note is attached for your reference.

Healthy Lunchbox Reminder

A healthy lunchbox helps children stay energised, focused and ready to learn throughout the school day. Families are encouraged to pack a balanced lunchbox with foods from the everyday food groups, including breads and cereals, vegetables and salads, fruit, dairy or alternatives, meat or alternatives, and water. Small swaps can make a big difference.

The attached Snack Swaps guide reminds us that choosing everyday foods instead of “sometimes” foods can support children’s mood, attention span and behaviour.

When packing lunchboxes, please also be mindful of foods that may present allergy or choking risks, particularly for younger children. Thank you for supporting healthy eating habits at school.
