It is with pleasure that I

would like to welcome

back students, families

and staff to a new

that everyone managed

to enjoy some time with

friends and families.

Welcome back to all of

the children.

Your success at school

is the purpose that

drives our work, and

I know that all of the

staff are looking

forward to helping

every student master

new skills and grow in

confidence and abilities

in 2021.

Welcome back to the

staff, our school has an

incredible team of expe-

rienced and dedicated

professionals and our

school community is

blessed to have such a

team.

I am truly looking

forward to 2021 and

again engaging with our

After extraordinary

disruptions and isola-

tion through 2020 as a

result of the COVD19

pandemic I am positive

that some levels of

engagement will return

this year.

Welcome to Kindy

Welcome to our wonderful Kindergarten students for

2021. Ethan, Ellyse and Archer have had a wonderful

week settling in to school life. They have enjoyed Art

and Craft with Mrs Smyth and Mrs Kimm, Maths and

Science with Mrs Rayner and Literacy and library with

Mr G. This morning they have been learning all about

Mars with Mr G. Of course they have also had fun with

new friends and all our outdoor toys and equipment!

LIBRARY VAN VISIT Our first Bathurst Library Van visit for the year brought excitement to Hill End Public School

especially for our new Kindergarten students. Thanks to Mel and Sarah our students were able to

borrow a great selection of books each for the month. As usual the Library Van visits are a highlight

of the year. Thanks to Bathurst Regional Council and the Bathurst Library for this great service!

LET THE PORTAL BEGIN! As we approach the new frontier of space this term our Learning Portal is

already starting to take shape!

It’s only been a week and our portal already has the planets, our moon and all our

library books that are related to this exciting topic! There is even a control centre

for their spaceship. Students created some wonderful space art work with

Mrs Smyth last week which they hung on the classroom walls.

It already feels like we have entered the new frontier! 2021 is going to be an

exciting year for Hill End Public School with a wonderful group of students who

are eager to learn from staff who are dedicated, enthusiastic and looking forward to

teaching this year. Can’t wait to see the Learning Portal develop!

Health Clinic News Just a reminder that the Women’s Health Clinic is on tomorrow

Friday 5th at Hill End.

I am trying to make this a regular clinic, hopefully every 2-3 months.

Appointments are 45 minutes.

Also, if you have been diagnosed with fatty liver or hepatitis C there is

some great news. These conditions can be treated if caught early,

so I also have the Liver Nurse from Bathurst Hospital coming to Hill End

tomorrow the 5th February.

Please help me support these specialist nurses.

They are completely free clinics so if you know anyone who might be

interested and they are not on Facebook please spread the word.

Stay safe everyone,

Fiona - Community Nurse

Don’t

forget if

you have

Covid-19 like

symptoms

please do not

attend the

Hill End
