2024 Level 6 WhatsApp group
WWe 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.

Level 5
Week 9 and 10 have been full of learning and joy for our Level 5 students. We have been listening to a podcast and targeting our comprehension along with our speaking and listening skills. The students have been extremely engaged and enthusiastic through this process, wanting to know more and listen to “just one more episode!” It has been wonderful to see them predicting, inferring and searching for clues within the story. The discussions have been thoughtful, evidence based and respectful.
The poetry created by our students has brought a tear to the eyes of the teachers and the growth is obvious from when we covered poetry previously. Figurative language, WOW words and show don’t tell have shone through the writing pieces.
In Numeracy, the students have been identifying areas that they want to revise and focus on. Teacher take over has been a wonderful way for level 5 students to learn how to structure and teach lessons themselves. Students expressed their surprise about how much planning and time goes into each lesson. They planned and delivered their lesson in groups and it was lovely to see organisation, collaboration and beautiful manners.
Our market day was a success and our students did an amazing job at creating, marketing and selling their products. Thank you to the junior years for supporting our students and the charity. There was a sense of pride and everyone had a wonderful time! We raised over $500 for Challenge supporting kids with cancer.
Congratulations to all our leaders for 2024! There will be more opportunities next year for others to lead and shine. Merry Christmas!!!
