Week 3 Term 1, 2019

TEACHING & LEARNING AT HERNANI Our Semester 1 reports and subsequent parent teacher meetings provided an important opportunity for teachers to discuss and plan with students and parents learning goals for Term 3. The development of Individual Learning Plans for every student ensures that we cater for each student’s individual learning. We thank all parents for their positive feedback on our new student report format. Feedback included comments such as: “It is much easier to read” “Tells us what we need to know” “A better format… that is easier to understand” “It actually told us more”.

The class of 2019

We welcome everyone back to school, ready for what is a busy term, with Education Week, Book Week, Science Week and this year our Picasso Cow focus. All students have commenced their new Semester with renewed energy and focus. Hopefully, we are over the dreaded bugs and illness that was evident during the last few weeks of Term 2 and unfortunately for some, during the school holidays.

WELCOME SETH On behalf of the Hernani Public School community I extend a warm welcome to Seth, mum Caili, dad Bryce and sister Ahlia.

Seth has made a positive start to school at Hernani

Everyone enjoyed a fun day learning about Aboriginal culture, history and having the opportunity to view an outstanding live dance performance. Thank you to the staff from the Dorrigo National Parks who supported special guests and school staff to deliver an outstanding day. A highlight for many students was the opportunity to taste traditional tucker, the lemon myrtle biscuits and the emu, were standouts.

Uncle John Kelly had some wonderful stories to share as well as a bark canoe and fantastic artworks


Clark Webb’s dance group performance was a highlight of the day for everyone

Yes it does work! Our chance to see fire created on stage…..fortunately the smoke did not set the fire alarms off….everyone was holding their breath!

KINDERGARTEN TRANSITION

Kindergarten students will be writing a description of Hattie the hen.

The highlight for students will be our “Education on Show” performance at Bellingen High School on Wednesday 7th August, which will be an important opportunity for students to view live performances by students from all schools in the Bellinger Dorrigo Learning Community, as well as the chance to perform our Line Dance item in front of a very large crowd. I wish to thank all parents for their support in attending this event and helping to ensure a memorable evening for all.

dance lessons. A big thank you to Fiona from students and staff.
