Dear parents/carers,

As the year ends we have lots to celebrate. It has been great to have a full year of onsite learning and to start to have more normal activity in school life. We are looking forward to having a relatively normal year next year. Hopefully we will be able to run all the usual extra curricular activities and other events which enrich school life.

Farewell to our Year 6 students and to any families who are moving. This week we were able to formally farewell Year 6 with both a graduation assembly yesterday and a Year 6 Farewell dinner on Monday night. We wish Year 6 all the best as they move on to the next stage of their life. Goodbye to all the families who are moving or have their last child finishing Year 6 this year, we are sorry to see you leave our school community  and wish you good luck.

Farewell also to Mr Hann and Ms Tsang who are not returning to Pendle Hill Public School  in a permanent capacity next year. We wish them both the best and thanks for all the hard  work they have done to support their students this year.

Congratulations to our 2023 school captains and vice captains.

Captains Vrishti and Thomas

Vice Captains Keshav and Aarna

Thank you to our 2022 school captains Mysha and Tharanikaa, and vice captains Nate and Karma. The captains and vice captains have done a marvellous job this year as student leaders and role models.

December 16th 2022 is the last day for all of our K-6 students and Preschool WTF group. Preschool MTW group finished on Tuesday 13.12.22. School resumes for Years 1-6 on Tuesday 31.1.23.

Regular attendance at school is important for students at our school to reach their full potential. The Learning and Support team are looking very closely at attendance and parents will receive a letter to explain how many days their child has been absent for in the past 10 week period.

Currently we have 137 students whose attendance is below 85%. 85% attendance equals 30 days (6 weeks) of absences across the school year.

Students with more than 95% attendance will receive a Penny Possum ticket with their letter in celebration of their attendance at school. This can be placed in their class Poss Box to contribute to their class reward.

Let's work together to improve school attendance and make a positive difference to education and learning at Pendle Hill Public School. 

Warmest, 

Nicole Hogan
