Congratulations to our 24, Year 2 dancers on a fabulous South Coast Dance Festival. I was proud to be in the audience on Friday night and watch our PHPS students perform.

Congratulations to the following students who made up the PHPS troupe – Nour A, Zara L, Polly R, Amelia L, Kimia B, Asha B, Allegra B, Bally T, Alana I, Belle G, Madeline B, Vivien T, Elena M, Alexia C, Kiara P, Remi M, Motiejus P, Patrick C, Liam H, Alexander D, Luca V, Oscar G, Jack W, Max S.

My thanks to Mrs Carter, Mrs Stephenson and Mrs Parkes for their organisation and commitment to our students and school. Teachers contribute many hours of personal time to the students at our school to ensure our students have access to many wonderful experiences.

P&C Meeting -Wednesday 12 June 19 The next P&C meeting will be held in Mr Swan’s room at 7.15pm. All parents and families are most welcome to attend and contribute to our P&C meetings. Keira High student voice at NSW Parliament House.

Year 11 students Selin Dogan, Jana Arts and Israa Badarne, past students from Fairy Meadow Demonstration School, Pleasant Heights PS and Wollongong PS, represented Keira High School in the State Model United Nations as France at the NSW Parliament House on Saturday.

The presiding MP Hugh McDermott, who was recruited to Team France congratulated the students and related how fantastic it was to see such strong, confident young women leading the way in equitable representation in Politics and International Relations, an experience he will share at the next parliamentary sitting.

This is another example of some of the wonderful opportunities that Keira High provide their students! Regional Cross Country Carnival Good luck to the following students who will compete at the Regional Cross Country this coming Friday 7 June. Billy A, Sophie R, Grace L, Finn B, Lexi M, Max T, Nour S, Isabella R, Oliver M and Zoe Mc.

Dance Festival Twenty–four excited year 2 students performed at the Illawarra Performing Arts Centre last week (on Thursday night, Friday night and a Saturday matinee), as part of the South Coast Dance Festival. The students have been rehearsing for at least two days a week during their lunch times since mid-term one, to prepare for their performance, titled ‘Monsters’. Pleasant Heights students were consistently complimented by the Dance Festival Executive staff for their outstanding behaviour. Their dancing was pretty good too! It was a great fun experience that will create wonderful memories! Vanessa Carter and Elise Parkes

Special thanks to Leisure Coast Fruit & Deli, in Fairy Meadow, with their very generous donation of 50kg of very tasty sausages and also to Darren Cousins, from Coke, who donated all our drinks.
