Welcome to 2024

A warm welcome to the start of an exciting year at HTS for 2024. It was so exciting to see the joy and happiness among so many students for the year ahead. The echoing noise of laughter and conversation between friends seemed like it would never end - nor should it.

We look forward to the first few weeks and the transitions made from last year to this year and know our students are in the safest of hands and will grow continually throughout the year.

Living Well, Learning Well

At HTS, we strive to follow three very significant expectations both in the classroom and on the playground.

We are safe

We are valued and respected

We are Learners

These are vital for the best learning to occur. Having a healthy and focused mind enables us all to put forward our best and even challenge ourselves further in our learning.

Meet and Greets

Just like last year, we invite families to come and experience a world of learning in their child/children's classroom. Teachers will be in their classrooms presenting information to help assist throughout the year. This will happen in Week 4 on Tuesday from 3:30 pm. Please see the times for each year group below:

Year Group	Time	Classroom
Kindergarten	Open classrooms till 5 pm
Year 1	3:30 - 3:45	Open class between 1E & 1M
Year 2	3:45 - 4:00	Open class between 2G & 2M
Year 3	4:00 - 4:15	Open class between 3M + 3W
Year 4	4:15 - 4:30	4LD & 4WL
Year 5	4:30 - 4:45	5B & 5F
