Thank You
A big thank you to our P&C for organising a wonderful fundraiser on Friday Night ‘Comedy for a Cause’. Congratulations to all involved on a successful night. To all families who came along and supported the school we appreciate your support.
SASS Recognition Week
Our SAS staff play an important role in the school community. They are often the first people you see when you enter a school and ensure we maintain positive relationships with students, parents and the community. SAS staff work in school offices, in classrooms and libraries and maintaining and caring for school grounds and buildings. They are often the ones to tend to students when they are unwell and they ensure the efficient management of school financial and administration functions.
We are extremely fortunate at Hammondville Public School to have such caring and dedicated SAS staff working to support our teachers, students and parents. I would like to personally thank all of our SAS staff during this recognition week. Thank you Mrs Longford, Mrs Hogan, Mrs Royale, Mrs Cadden, Mrs Ford, Mrs Yeoman, Mrs Potts, Mrs Hudson-O’Farrell, Mrs McCulloch, Mrs Talevski, Mrs Johnson and Mr Royce.
Without you Hammondville would not be the same, we are truly blessed to have you here. Parents if you see our SAS staff in and around the school this week, please take the time to thank them for their hard work in supporting our students and teachers.
Casual Teacher Shortage
As many of you would be aware, we have had many classes split over the last few weeks. I would like to reassure you that we do our best to cover classes when our teachers are sick. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of casual teachers at the moment and it is affecting all schools across NSW. We will continue to minimise disruptions as best we can and we thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Positive Stars Week 5
I had the lovely opportunity to see many students across the school last week for producing excellent work, demonstrating outstanding work habits and being exceptional learners. Well done to the following students on being Positive Stars in week 5. Congratulations to the following students: Adiy, Finlay, Ezekiel, Harper, Layla and Walid from K Red, Samir, Kinley, Marli and Patrick from 3/4 Platinum, Matthew, Nathaniel, Rose, Ryan and Jake from 5 Yellow. Keep trying hard everybody.
Book Week 2019
What a wonderful celebration of literature we had on Thursday morning. A huge thank you to Mrs Stanley for her wonderful organisation of the parade and her enthusiasm in encouraging all students and teachers to get involved. Thank you to all parents and carers who came along to support our school and this celebration of reading, the student’s costumes looked amazing. Bring on Book Parade 2020. I can’t wait!
Multicultural Perspectives Public Speaking
A huge well done and congratulations to Jules Cross who was successful in his competition and will be representing Hammondville Public School in the State Finals. The school community are extremely proud of your efforts and achievement.
Zone Athletics
Good luck to all our students who are competing at the Zone Athletics carnival on Thursday. I am sure that you will represent our school with pride and enthusiasm. Let’s see if Hammondville can take out the trifecta on carnivals this year and win the Zone Athletics carnival. All the best!
Car Park
I would just like to remind parents and students that the car park is unsafe and students should not be walking through the car park in the mornings or afternoons. Please ensure you discuss this with your children.
Have a wonderful week of learning!
Mrs Rebekah Murray
Rel. Principal
