Issue 1 Friday, 29 January 2016
Hi there from the principal! Welcome to Hunter River High School for an exciting and
productive 2016. Although rain welcomed our Year 7, Year10 Jump Start
Leaders and Years 11 & 12 for their first day, there were
many smiles, no tears and loads of great activities. If you and your family are new to our school, welcome to our
school community. We pride ourselves on the positive culture
we have developed and the strong reputation we have built
locally. HRHS is a Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL)
School with strong core values: Harmony, Respect, Honesty
and Success. We teach expected behaviours through PBL
lessons regularly to ensure students know what is expected
in terms of behaviour at our school. Thank you to our Jump Start Leaders who gave up the last
day of their holiday to make welcome our Year 7 students. Uniform
Many students today wore with pride the new everyday polo
shirts and looked fabulous. As of Wednesday, Lowes had
sold over 1,400 shirts and were doing their best to keep up
with demand. The shorter style of shorts have been a little
slow to arrive, but are expected to be in store by the
weekend. This addition to our uniform was endorsed by the P&C last
year as many students were wearing the plain polo shirts that
were never an official item of our uniform. The new shirt looks
smart and the logo displays to those in the broader
community our deep school pride. The button up cotton shirt is still our formal uniform and can
be worn everyday as in the past. Students who have the plain
polo shirts are still able to wear them during 2016. The new shorts have our school initials on the leg and also
look great. We have sourced a comfortable and appropriate
length short due to the many unsuitable shorts previously
worn to school. When purchasing new shorts, please
purchase the correct style from Lowes. Black leather upper shoes and white socks are also required
please. Staff Changes
We have some changes to staff as listed below. A warm
welcome to those who are new to our school and
congratulations to those who have gained promotion or
permanency.
