TERM 2 WRAP UP!
What a jam packed Term 2 it has been with so many wonderful events, opportunities and learning
experiences taking place. Congratulations to all of our students for their hard work, focused attention on
achieving learning goals and accomplishment of creative and sporting endeavours. I am very proud of the
work that has taken place this term and I applaud the dedicated work of students and teachers. A very big
thankyou to our P&C and many committed parent helpers who turn up to classes week after week to
support class learning programs. We look forward to your ongoing support in Semester 2.
A very big thank you to the P&C for co-ordinating the Trivia Night last weekend and to all of the families
who supported this major fundraiser. I would particularly like to thank Grant Heaton for his hours of
preparation and delivery of the Trivia Night. We are so lucky to have your continuing support of Hastings
Public School, Mr Heaton. Thankyou!!
Term 3 begins on 23rd July with the Staff Development Day. Staff will engage in professional learning and
planning for Semester 2. Stage teams will also take part in a stage planning day in Week 2 of Term 3.

driving half up / half down on a nature strip incurs a $448 fine and a loss 4 demerit points;

driving using a mobile phone will cost you $448 and 8 points (double demerits)
stopping on or across a driveway or other access is $337 and 2 demerit points

We hope all parents will start Term 3 and do the right thing. School zone rules are enforced to keep your

I hope all of our families have a wonderful holiday. Keep safe and take care of each other.

STAGE 3 MATHEMATICS
Stage 3 will be starting maths groups in Semester two. There will be 4 year 5 groups and 4 year 6 groups.
These groups will be formed through analysis of assessment results from semester one as well as teacher
judgment. It will begin from the first day back to school in Term 3. The stage 3 teachers believe that this is
an important change for students to be organised for a different lesson with a different teacher as an
important step in preparation for High school.
FOOD SAFETY TRAINING for SCHOOL CANTEEN VOLUNTEERS
Port Macquarie Council’s Environmental Health Team is offering a free presentation on food safety for

food poisoning. The presentation will also be a good opportunity for canteen staff and volunteers to ask
the Environmental Health Officer questions on inspections, food safety and hygiene. Training will be held
Wednesday 1st August, 9-10am and Monday 6th August, 3-4pm at the Port Macquarie Hastings Council
Committee Room, Burrawan Street. If you are interested in attending please let Mrs Hamel at canteen

PSSA BOYS HOCKEY Last Thursday the boys school hockey team, travelled to Grafton to play against Westlawn Public School. The boys played hard and defensively. They worked as a team and we are proud of their consistent effort. We had several shots at goal but unfortunately we were unable to score. Thank you to Danielle Blenkhorn for being our super coach and all the parents for driving, cheering and supporting our team. It is obvious the boys have improved since last year as this year’s result of 3-0 was a massive improvement. Well done, team! Can't wait for next year! Mr Kelly and Mrs Martin. PSSA GIRLS BASKETBALL
Our two hour trip didn't give Sawtell Public School the
home game advantage with the Hastings girls safely
progressing to round 5 of the PSSA Knockout. A slow start
saw the girls ahead 6-2 after the 1st quarter. Good
defence kept the opposition scoreless in the 2nd quarter
and we went to the half time break 10-2. In the 3rd quarter
our confidence grew and we led 16-4.
The girls created opportunities with good passing and cutting through the key. Their patience and excellent
defence resulted in a final score of 26-4.
Layla Horton, Tyra Turuva, Sarah King, Kyla Roach, Lauren Johnston, Jasmine Mison, Brodi Ardrey and
Elizabeth Hincksman will play Kororo Public School early next term.
A great display of sportsmanship and team work make it a pleasure to coach these girls. Good luck in Round
5!
