At Herdsmans Cove Primary we work hard to foster and provide a wide range of activities to promote family and student engagement.

Following our last newsletter, thirty-two of our fantastic students participated in the Southern Primary Schools Athletics Carnival.  I would like to thank Mr Milne, Ms Hedge, Mrs McKenzie and our wonderful parents for assisting and supporting our students to attend the event. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. I would also like to congratulate our students on their exemplary behaviour whilst at the carnival. The wonderful behaviour of these students reflects on the school in a positive manner. Well done team Herdy! 

We are looking forward to seeing our wonderful families at our K- 2 Easter Assembly and Fun Carnival next Wednesday 31 March at 11:20. Following the Easter Assembly children will have the opportunity to participate in a range of sporting activities on the oval.  It will be great to have the opportunity to share some musical items from each of the classes and see all our children and teachers participating and having fun together. With Covid restrictions still in place, parents are kindly asked to remain in the spectator area and not to approach students. A big thank you and congratulations to Miss Field and Mr Milne for organising and co-ordinating this event. 

We thank all of our parents and carers who took up the opportunity to participate in Learning Plan conversations this week to set goals for their children and to further develop the valuable partnership between home and school. 

The last day of term for students will be next Wednesday 31 March as Thursday 1 April, is a Professional Learning day.  All teachers will be involved in moderating student work against the Australian Curriculum.
