Primary Students on the first day of Term 3

From the Head of Primary, Tracey Rogers

It is always wonderful to see the excitement and energy when the students return from holidays. They are keen to reconnect with friends and see their teachers. I know their return also lifts the spirits of the staff as the School comes to life again. 

Primary families will have received a letter from me to officially welcome everyone back to the term. If you missed it, you can access a copy using the link below.

 

 

Thank you to all the students who participated in Photo Day on Thursday. The student body looked fabulous in their smart uniforms. I was also proud of the way students were patient when waiting and respectful of the Photo Hendriks staff when having their photos taken. My gratitude to Mrs Shelley Bydder, Mrs Fiona Shand and all staff attending on the day for their assistance with organisation and smooth running of this event. 

 

We look forward to Primary Clubs commencing next week, our Kindergarten Conferences getting under way and wish our Inter-School Team all the best at the IPSHA Cross Country Carnival on Thursday 4 August. We also know our Year 6s will enjoy the provocation for their new unit of inquiry with a trip to the cinema to see City of Ember. And a private viewing – lucky us! 

 

Have a wonderful start to Term 3. 

Take care.
