PRINCIPAL MATTERS
School Uniform
We are noticing some students are consistently coming to school wearing incorrect socks, jumpers/jackets,
hair ties, hair ribbons & bows and footwear. As well, sports shorts should only be worn on sports days
(Wednesday for Kinder and Years 1 to 4; Fridays for Year 5 & Year 6). We would really appreciate the
support of parents and carers in promoting the correct uniform. We have such a beautiful uniform and it
looks even more impressive when it is consistent. Jewellery should be limited to stud-gun studs or sleepers,
a watch and/or a signet ring. Students will be asked to remove nail polish / make-up.
Hatchlings Big Band Blast
This week, Zake Morris, Drew de Silva, Kaeleb Morris,
Stephanie Dun, Poppy McIntyre, Stephanie Lawrence and
Oskar Morris (absent from photo) joined children from schools
in the Hastings and Camden Haven area for three days of
intensive rehearsals and tutorials for the Hatchlings Big Band.
These students represented our school with pride and integrity
and have all risen to the musical and personal challenges that
have been thrown their way. Solos, improvisations, strange
new notes, unusual rhythms, unfamiliar melodies … the list
goes on!
Education Forum for Principals
There was another proud moment for our school yesterday
when Brooke Hodge-O’Brien and Ronin Hodge-O’Brien were
invited to present the Acknowledgement of Country at the
opening of the Education Forum for Principals’ Conference at Port Panthers.

STAGE 1 PUBLIC SPEAKING
WOW! What a morning of Public Speaking! On Monday the best Public Speakers in Year 1 and Year 2 put
their skills to the test with an exciting array of speeches. The standard was amazing especially when one

audience members!

YEAR 6 CANBERRA EXCURSION
We are wishing our Year 6 students and staff safe travels and a
fabulous week of fun learning for their excursion to Canberra next
week. All medication including panadol, travel sickness tablets etc.
(except for asthma puffers and epi-pens) is to be secured in a clip-
lock bag clearly labelled with your child’s name and dosage
instructions and should be handed to Miss Bourne if not done so
already. Asthma medication / epi-pens must be kept with the child.
Remember …
to be at school by 5:45am and get your name marked off.
Buses will leave at 6:30am sharp!
to go to the toilet before leaving home. The hall toilets will
be open for last minute emergencies
(if required) take your travel sickness medication before
leaving home Monday morning
to pack your woollies as Canberra’s weather forecast is for a
couple of very chilly mornings
onboard luggage to include morning tea and lunch (in
disposable packaging) for Monday
to leave ALL ELECTRONIC DEVICES at home
Expected arrival time back at Hastings next Friday is 6pm. Please DO NOT PHONE THE SCHOOL on Friday
to check their ETA. If we hear of any change to arrival time we will email families and post information on
the school’s Facebook page.
The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit their
National Capital as part of their civics and citizenship education. To assist parents in meeting the cost of
the excursion the Australian Government contributes funding of $30.00 per student under the Parliament
and Civics Education Rebate (PACER) program toward the travel expenses incurred. We would like to
thank the Australian Government for their support of this program. Activities undertaken as part of the
educational tour will include the National Capital Exhibition Centre, the Australian Institute of Sport,
Telstra Tower, Government House, High Court of Australia, ANZAC Parade, Museum of Australian
Democracy, Questacon, National Museum of Australia, Parliament House, Australian War Memorial,
Canberra Reptile Zoo and a day in the snow at Perisher. This contribution will be paid directly to the
school and was factored in when determining the final cost to students.
Thank you also to Miss Bourne, Mrs Starr, Mr Harris, Mr Morris and Mrs Paterson who are leaving their
families for the week, thus allowing this great experience to take place for Year 6!
