Growing Our LiL Program
Our Launch into Learning (LiL) program is expanding, and we aim to include all families in our community with children from birth to 4 years old. This program is a fantastic opportunity for early childhood development and community engagement. If you know of any families who are not yet participating, please encourage them to join us. Your support in spreading the word is greatly appreciated.
Together, let's continue to foster a vibrant and supportive learning environment for all our students.
A reminder that all students riding bikes and scooters to school must wear a helmet and put these away when they arrive. It is important that all students are safe and working with us to ensure all students can participate in their learning.
Warm regards,
Tobin McColl - Principal

Exciting News!
Herdsmans Cove Primary School is thrilled to partner with Phil and Nicole from Tagari Lia to bring art and creativity to our students.
