JULIA OSBORN
We pay respect to one of our previous HEPS staff members who sadly passed recently.
Julia Osborn was our Pastoral care worker for a number of years.
Julia had a wonderful and positive impact on many students, families and staff.
Our sincere condolences and thoughts are with Julia’s husband Ted, two children and thirteen grandchildren.
STAFFING UPDATE
A very warm welcome to Mrs Angela Stephenson who will be taking our Arts program for the next 5 weeks while Mrs Melissa Thiele is on leave.
Angela is excited to work with our learners, is a talented artist in her own right and has a wonderful and engaging program planned for our students.
RIGHT BITE
At Hackham East PS we follow the SA Right Bite Food and Drink standards and in line with this allow only water in student drink bottles to be consumed throughout the school day.
Please support us with this by ensuring children do not come to school with cordial or similar in drink bottles.

From 1 March 2024 new regulations will extend the smoke-free and vape-free areas to within 10 metres of site boundaries.
This includes:
