2024 Level  3 WhatsApp group

We are excited to announce the introduction of our 2024 level WhatsApp groups. 

2024 families, please use your phone to scan the QR code below.  Each level currently has a parent representative. The role of the parent representative is to regularly check in with teachers and post anything on the chat that is helpful to families in remembering the many things happening at HEPS. All families must read the norms below before agreeing to join the group. 

 

2024 WhatsApp norms 

The purpose of this group is to share information and keep us up to date with events relevant to our level. By joining this group, you agree to be respectful and courteous. All participants will be friendly and kind in their messaging. As this is not an official school channel, any questions about the general running of the school from an academic or Education Department perspective or involving any staff member should be raised with school leadership. 

 

The purpose of this group is to share information; any disagreements between people in the chat will be resolved offline and outside of the group. We all acknowledge that any message that is deemed by the level representative (s) to not meet these rules will be deleted. Continued failure to abide by the rules will result in the removal of the offending person (s) or the disbanding of the group.

Literacy and Inquiry

For the past few weeks, Level 2 students have been practising their persuasive writing skills. We have been focussing on Australian history and geography throughout our unit of inquiry, and students have been busily creating a flyer/brochure to persuade people to come to an Australian state, city, or landmark of their choice. Students have particularly enjoyed learning how to record a video of themselves on a laptop and embed it into a Microsoft PowerPoint to present their persuasive flyer.

Numeracy

In Numeracy this week, 2LL have been revising concepts such as problem-solving strategies, addition and subtraction number facts, and telling the time. We also had the amazing opportunity to practise using our money skills at the Level 5 Challenge stall. Students were so excited to be able to purchase a range of handmade products with their coins!

Junior Athletics

On Friday the 8th December, we finally got to have our rescheduled Athletics Day. Although the day started with a downpour, students were able to participate in all of the different track and field activities between recess and lunch. A big thanks to Mr. Hodgson for making Junior Athletics day happen despite the weather being against us!
