Dear Parents/Caregivers
We are now in our final week of term. It has undoubtedly been a busy start to my time at Huntingdale Primary School. I have enjoyed getting to know the students and staff. During the Junior and Senior sports carnivals, I have had the opportunity to move around and say hello to many of you. I thank you for taking the time to make me feel welcomed. Sports Carnivals The Huntingdale PS style has been an amazing experience and different to anything I have ever seen before. It was so good to see so many parents, grandparents and family members supporting our students. Our students certainly demonstrated critical support skills for each other; manners, kindness, respect and perseverance. I can’t thank the staff enough for all the work that they have put in to ensure that all the children had opportunities to participate. Well done to Mr Rob & Mrs Julian for organising the day, and staff for setting up, packing away and ensuring that everything is running on time. We would also like to say a huge “thank you” to Mr Fernando, our Head Cleaner, for assisting on both days with set-up and to Mrs Green for all her hard work setting up the computer program. A huge “thank you” also to the P & C for providing food, drinks and snacks during the day. They are a small team of very dedicated parents who want to ensure the best for the students at the school through supporting these events and fundraising. Kindergarten Orientation This week we had the pleasure of welcoming new and current parents who have children attending Kindy next year. As many of you know, this is an exciting time and can be a little overwhelming, and we welcome them to Huntingdale PS. Friday 24th September We will be having a busy end to a busy term. On Friday, Room One has their assembly in the morning. At 2 pm, there will be a music assembly. Our school choir and instrumental students will provide us with a musical end to the term. Parents are welcome to attend both assemblies. Carparks Parking around schools is at a premium. However, I ask that parents do not park in the staff carparks. I know my car has been damaged recently, but it is easily fixable. Yesterday we had another staff car damaged, and this will require repairs. In both incidents, there has been no contact number or details left on the vehicles, which is disappointing. Have a wonderful holiday everyone, just a reminder that school commences on Tuesday 12th October. LEANNE ALLEN Principal |
