Term 3 Week 9 Edition

Possible Reduction in School Canteen

opening hours

Today’s newsletter comes to you from

both the president of the P&C, Rebecca

Dalton and myself. The school canteen is

a service provided and managed by the

P&C and we are writing this letter to

inform our school community of the

possibility of our school canteen having

to drop to opening only 3 days a week,

instead of the 5 days it is currently open.

Despite the efforts of many people to

find cost cutting solutions, the canteen

has been running at a loss. This is not

anyone’s fault but is due to consistently

increasing running costs e.g. wages, food,

freight etc. The canteen has been

subsidised by the P&C at approx. $2000 -

$3000 per year for at least the last 5

years. However, the P&C feel that maybe

the funds they are raising could be better

utilised to provide classroom and / or

educational resources.

.

Have your say! We need the school community’s input and ideas as to what to do about this predicament. Below is a link to a website or QR code where you can make suggestions and answer a few survey questions, so we can work together to find an amicable solution

Year 11 RAP PDHPE

Excursion

Five Year 11 PDHPE students participating in RAP spent a night camping and abseiling down cliff faces through Cocoparra National Park and hiking to the top of Mt Brogan. This excursion was to support their learning during their Outdoor Recreation unit.

It was great to see the RAP students coming together and we are sure plenty of memories were made during the camp.

Appreciating The Arts

Year 1/2/3 attended the theatre last

Wednesday to watch Little Red Racing

Hood. Appreciation of the Arts is an

important part of learning at HCS. We

finished with lunch and a play at City

Park which challenged our cognitive

problem solving skills to ascend the

pyramid to get to the slide. Lots of fun

was had by all.

Year 9 PDHPE

This term Year 9 has been doing

Gymnastics and practicing balances on

the floor and on the beam. Our

pyramid that we created is below. We

have also been doing archery as part of

our Taking Aim Unit. Will Knight is this

year’s Robin Hood scoring a Bullseye!

He also won our points challenge with

33 points, Delcie Coonan came second

with 21, then Luke Mott 18, Blake Dakin

16, Gene Rixon 11. We were all excited

just to hit the board and wanted to have

our pictures taken to show our

achievements.

Thursday matinée – arrive at 12 noon for 1 pm performance, normal school home time

Thursday Night – 6pm for 7pm performance pick up 9pm

Friday night - 6pm for 7pm performance pick up 9pm

If your child is unable to attend all/any of the performances, it is important that they let their class teacher know so

that we can make arrangements to replace them.

Students that are involved in the musical do not need to pay to get in. There will be snacks available for students to

purchase at intermission if needed.

On the next page you will find a table outlining additional costume requirements, props and the hair and make-up

needs for each character. Please ensure that your child arrives at the Community Hall ready to go, this will make it

quicker and easier for the hair and make-up team. If you have any issues with your child’s requirements, please

speak to Ms Martin so that we can assist you.

If you have any questions regarding the musical, please give Ms Martin a call at school.
