School Uniform

Update from PSW

I am well aware there have been some frustrations with supplies from our uniform provider. The School Savings Bonus for families saw an increased demand and rush on products that PSW were not adequately prepared for. Therefore their backlog of ordered items is taking longer than usual to become available.

I have liaised with PSW and can advise that air freight is being used for outstanding parent orders from their factory overseas, with the first delivery due to arrive at the PSW Distribution Centre Monday of this week and another one early next week.  

I have also been informed that PSW are expediting the production of our uniform to get items back in stock as quickly as possible.

Fingers crossed this issue is ammended soon!

Years 5&6 School Production - MADAGASCAR Jnr!!

Our year 5/6 students are well underway with their rehearsals and preparations for Madagascar Jnr, to be performed in August at Bunjil Place! Ms Collins and Ms Scott have been working with fellow staff members in teaching dance routines, working with main cast members to memorise lines and prepare props and costumes for the big event! Mark Monday the 25th August in your diaries and stay tuned for information about purchasing tickets.

Family-Teacher Conversations

This year Term 3 is only 9 weeks long and with so many other events occurring, we have decided to move Family-Teacher Conversations from the end of Term 3 to the first week of Term 4. Further information will come towards mid Term 3 for online booking updates.

Last Day of Term 2 - Friday 4th July

A reminder that the last day of Term 2 is a 2.30pm dismissal time. 

OSHC provider TeamKids will be available from that time. They will also offer a holiday care program during the term break.

Semester One reports

Teachers are currently working diligently to assess your child's learning in order to prepare their end of semester reports.

Reports will be available via Compass on Friday 4th July.

Fundraising for our school in Term 3

As many of you know we have had a Colour Explosion Run for the last few years. This will now be an event that occurs every two years.

In it's place to help raise funds for our school, this year we are going to have a COOKIE DOUGH DRIVE!

During Term 3 we will provide ordering opportunities for ''Billy G's Cookie and Biscuit Dough'!! There will be 10 exciting flavours to choose from and students can earn rewards as they have done in the past.

I will collaborate with the SRC and Student Leaders to work out the best way we can spend the money raised and let our school community know what we are striving for!

So stay tuned for more information to come on how to buy these delicious treats and support Hillsmeade Primary School!
