2022 Hamilton Eisteddfod

Congratulations to all involved in this week’s musical competition at the Hamilton Eisteddfod. After a two-year hiatus, it is wonderful to have Junior School students, choral and instrumentalist groups, playing at the Hamilton PAC. A special thank you to Mrs. Christie, Mr. Singh, Mrs. Salt, Mrs. Bell, Mr. Hiscock and Mrs. Barber for all their work in preparing our students.

We will print results of this week’s competitions in next week’s Newsletter.

We will also send home a courtesy hardcopy of the report. Students in Years Three to Six will complete a self-assessment page, which will be enveloped up with the report hardcopy. Parent/Teacher interviews will take place in early Term Three. Parents of students working ‘Toward Expected Level’ in curricula outcomes will be emailed by the classroom or specialist teacher, and a phone or in person meeting will be arranged if requested.
