Principal’s Report

We are over half way through Term 1 already, this term only has nine weeks.

The P&C are arranging some terrific activities to celebrate Easter at the end of this term, please watch out for further information regarding this.

Staff had a terrific Professional Development Day on Friday 1 March. A variety of activities were planned throughout the day.

We are trying to improve the playing area for the Early Childhood children with some new equipment whilst also rearranging some old equipment. One of the most pressing items is the relocation or the two large tractor tyres. Currently the tyres are full of white sand, this needs to be removed in order to move the tyres. Our School Chaplain, Joshua Benjamins, spent all of last Friday digging out some sand. He has almost completed the first one. If there is any willing parent/s that wouldn’t mind an hour or so on a shovel we would love to hear from you. We can provide the wheelbarrow and shovels but you would need to bring your own gloves.

Mrs Janice Clamp is away until next term, taking some very well-deserved Long Service Leave. We wish her a fantastic holiday. If you have any queries that would normally go to Janice please redirect them to Mrs Linda Fraser, who is filling in for the remainder of the term.

Congratulations to the following students who received a Merit Certificate or Values Award at our last assembly.

Office Art Display

Thanks to Mrs Lee, our current art display in the office celebrates Chinese New Year.

Library News

Week 5 already, the term is going very fast.

We have some wonderful students returning books every week, however we have others who seem to forget. It would be fantastic if every student could return their books every week so that other students can enjoy them as well.

Easter
This week we changed our display to an Easter extravaganza, with the help of the library monitors, Logan and Estebahn.

Chinese News

In Chinese there is a competition for the best 2024 Chinese New Year Poster being run for the lower, middle and upper primary students. The winners will be announced soon. There is some amazing work being created! The work is so amazing it is not easy to choose winners.

We are so lucky to have so many different classes come into the library now to learn and grow. The library is a calm and safe space for all students to enjoy.

WasteSorted School

Hampton Park Primary School has been an accredited WasteSorted School for more than 13 years. We promote sustainability and responsible waste management behaviours through the following activities:

• Each classroom is responsible for collecting and recycling one item (please read through the attached flyer for details).
• Food waste from recess and lunch is collected and used to feed the worms in the worm farms.
• Each classroom has a dedicated paper bin that is collected for recycling when full.
• Used ink cartridges are recycled through Close the Loop.
• All students participate in Zero Waste Lunch for one month.
• Gardening Club – where students get the opportunity to grow and cook fresh produce.

Later this year, FOGO bins will be introduced to reduce the amount of organic matter going into the general waste bins.
