Term 3 Week 1 – Week Ending 21st July 2017
From the Principal’s Desk WELCOME BACK TO TERM 3 I hope that everyone had a great break and enjoyed spending time with friends and family. It’s great to see the students have returned ready and refreshed for another very busy term. We are looking forward to an exciting Term 3 with lots of activities and excursions happening, some of which are: District Athletics, Book Week, Life Education Van, Gymnastics, excursion to Temora Aviation Museum and our Whole School Excursion to Jindabyne. I would like to extend a very special welcome to the new students to our school, Charlotte Ward, Makayla Ward, Braidan Ward and Angel Wilkin. We look forward to having their families join the HPS school community. Kind Regards Kris Pagett Principal
