Principal’s Message

attends Respite, please ensure that the Respite
Advice forms are returned to our office. For your
convenience a tear off slip is located on page 8.
Dear families and friends
I hope you have been able to be outdoors enjoy the beautiful days this week.
Education Week: Families and friends are warmly invited to join us for our
2018 Education Week celebrations next Tuesday 7 August. We will be
commencing our day at 9.30am with the Tabloid Sports Day, where students
will engage in a variety of activities, accruing points for their sporting house.
Our Education Week Assembly will follow and then we will all enjoy a delicious
sausage sizzle! Just a reminder that there will be a prize for the best dressed
supporter for each house. Hope to see you there!
Staff Car Park: Thank you to everyone who has assisted by not using the
staff car park as a ‘kiss and drop’ area. There is a significant amount of traffic
around the entrance to the car park of a morning, which impacts on cars and
buses trying to exit the school. I would ask that you do not use the car park
during those peak times. Families and friends are encouraged to ‘join the cue’
of Assisted Travel vehicles during pick up times to avoid having to find a park.
Mornings between 8:50am – 9:00am is a time where there should not be a lot
of waiting. Afternoon pickup is between 2:30pm – 3:00pm. Thank you for
your assistance in this matter, if you would like to discuss this matter in
further detail, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Leuca visits the Classroom: Our PBL mascot Leuca has been very busy this
week spending time in Room 10 and Hub C. Each week the positive behaviour
notifications are tallied and two PBL Class of the Week Awards are presented.
During the week, Leuca assists with the PBL Lesson of the Week. Leuca is very
popular with all students and having him in class is a wonderful motivator.
Well done everyone!
Teacher of the Week
Term 3—Week 2
PBL Teacher and SLSO of the Week: PBL (Positive Behaviour for Learning) is a whole school
program which recognises the work of all school members. Each week, the positive notifications are
tallied and the teacher and SLSO with the greatest number of positive entries are awarded Teacher and
SLSO of the Week. The philosophy of this initiative is for staff to recognise the positive behaviour in
young people.
Week 2 Teacher of the Week was Tash from Hub C. Great work everyone!

Tash from Room 6

Mayor’s Breakfast: On Wednesday morning this week, three members of
our School Leadership Team represented Hunter River Community School at
the Mayor’s Breakfast. This is a wonderful opportunity for School Leaders to
network and learn about leadership and mindfulness. This year the function’s
guest speaker was Rebecca Sharrock, a young author and motivational
speaker who talks about her journey of dealing with autism – one step at a
time. Her motivational address was inspirational and our School Leaders
were certainly able to relate to some of the issues she was discussing. During
the morning, the group were able to meet Miss Maitland Showgirl,
Ms Caitlin Hipwell and saw the new council flag being raised for the first time.
Congratulations Emma, Alyssa and Jackson for being outstanding
ambassadors and thank you Maitland City Council for the wonderful
opportunity.
Riding for the Disabled: All of our riders are back in the saddle for the
Term 3 riding program. It has been wonderful to see the improvement in all
the riders, with Brielle and Jack riding in a saddle for the first time this week!
Congratulations everyone!
Indigenous Streetball Tournament: Last Friday a group of students were
very excited to attend the Indigenous Streetball Basketball tournament that
was held at Hunter Valley Grammar School. The group were able to meet
some of the players and officials and enjoyed watching the 3 on 3
competition, picking up some tips on how to shoot baskets! Well done
everyone!
Goodbye Pam: After 40 years working in schools, our dedicated cleaner,
Pam, has advised that she will be ‘hanging up her mop’ after her morning
shift next Friday. Pam has worked tirelessly for decades to ensure that our
school is always in top condition and has always been a wonderful supporter
of our students and programs. We will certainly miss Pam very much and
can’t imagine our school without her, however we wish her all the best for
her retirement future and hope that she and Greg enjoy their planned
travels. Pam will always be a treasured member of our HRCS family and I
would like to thank her for her years of dedication.
I hope that everyone has a great week.
Captains Awards: Today’s Captain’s Award was selected by Jesse and was awarded to Ethan from
Room 6 for waiting patiently for his bus.
Prefect Awards: Our Prefect’s Award for this week was selected by Coby B and was given to
Charleigh from Room 6 for being a good friend.
