Dear Families,

It has been so lovely to connect with you all over the past 2 weeks and hear about your adventures over the Easter holidays. ANZAC Day was commemorated during this break and I would like to thank Scarlett and Cooper for attending the Brighton service, supported by their families and Rachel Kitto. Scarlett and Cooper were outstanding in their representation of our school and laid a wreath at the service on behalf of our community.

Unfortunately, over the past few weeks, our school has been impacted by a number of instances of vandalism. This has resulted in changes to many of our regular programs and I would like to thank our students, families and staff for their understanding and flexibility during this time. We are so thankful for the support that we have received from this amazing school community and hope that we will be able to resume our regular programs and use all of our learning spaces soon.

We have a number of events and experiences planned for this term and I encourage families to regularly check our school Facebook page for upcoming events.

NAP Science Literacy

Herdsmans Cove Primary School has been selected to participate in a trial National Science Literacy assessment. Next week a randomly selected group of Year 6 students will participate in an online Science Literacy test. Families of students involved will be provided with further information later this week.

Cross Country

Our 3-6 Cross Country will be held on Wednesday 17 May. Students are encouraged to wear their house colours on the day. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for more information about this event.

Pancake Friday

We are pleased to be able to share with you that Pancake Friday will be continuing this term. As we are currently unable to hold assemblies, due to the repair works in the GP room, we will be running an additional Pancake Friday session this week in the LiL room. We look forward to sharing a delicious pancake and a story with you this Friday.
