Kindergarten 2026 - dismissal time changing in Term 4

From the beginning of Term 4, Kindergarten students will be dismissed at 3:00 pm, aligning their dismissal time with the rest of the school.

We are sharing this information early to give families time to make any necessary adjustments to afternoon arrangements before Term 4 begins.

Kindergarten families will receive further reminders during the remainder of this term, including direct emails and a printed reminder note closer to the end of term.

Reminder: Toilets for Parents, Carers and Visitors

A reminder to all parents, carers and visitors that the toilets available for public use are located in the foyer of the Library.

For student safety and privacy, student toilets must not be used by parents, carers or any other members of the community at any time.

Please also share this reminder with grandparents, relatives or other adults who may collect children before or after school.

Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and appropriate environment for all students.

Pearl Pacific Uniform Shop – New Location

Pearl Pacific Uniform Shop will be moving to a new, more accessible location in Hurstville during the upcoming school holidays.

From Tuesday 6 October 2026, families will be able to visit the new shop at:

Shop 4/107 Forest Road, Hurstville NSW 2220

(located on the corner of The Avenue and Forest Road).

The current shop will close from Saturday 26 September to allow for the relocation and will remain closed during the first week of the school holidays.

Trading hours will remain unchanged:

• Tuesday: 10:00 am–5:00 pm
• Thursday: 10:00 am–5:00 pm
• Saturday: 10:00 am–5:00 pm

Online ordering, delivery to school and home delivery services will also continue as usual.

The new location should provide an even more convenient and accessible uniform service for HPS families.

NSW Anti-Bullying Framework and SBSMP Update

This year, the NSW Government introduced the NSW Anti-Bullying Framework, strengthening the way schools work to prevent and respond to bullying. The Framework is built around four key areas: Preventing, Responding, Partnering and Implementing.

In response, we have updated our School Behaviour Support and Management Plan (SBSMP) to further strengthen our approach to preventing and responding to bullying and cyberbullying. The updated plan places a strong focus on prevention, student voice, partnership with families, timely and coordinated responses, ongoing support and monitoring.

Our SBSMP has also been updated to reflect the new NSW Student Code of Conduct, which is centred around three clear expectations for students:

• Respect everyone
• Be responsible
• Be safe

These expectations will increasingly become part of the common language we use across the school as we continue our review of our Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) framework this year. 

Families can access the updated School Behaviour Support and Management Plan and the NSW Anti-Bullying Framework below.

We encourage families to familiarise themselves with these resources. Strong partnerships among students, families, and the school are an important part of creating a safe, respectful, and supportive learning environment for every student.

These updated resources will also be available on our school website later this term.
