PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents and Carers,
We enjoyed a very exciting week as we celebrated the Anniversary of SHPS’s official blessing and opening on Sunday 16 August 1970. We began our week with the fabulous 'back to the 70s' dress up, disco and Satellite Selfie. The Stage 3 students had researched and set up a journey through the decades for all students to enjoy each day last week.
We extend a huge thank you to Mrs Wode for all her work in organising and preparing for the Satellite Selfie. We also need to thank Mrs Imbriano who coordinated the remainder of days activities. We thank you the parents for organising your children’s dress ups.
Tennis Clinic
Students in Kindergarten and Stage 1 have enjoyed six weeks of tennis. We thank Mr Mitchell for organising this fabulous opportunity for our students. On Tuesday each Kindergarten student received a tennis racket.
Dance
This week students from Kindergarten to Year 6 began the 2020 dance program with Mrs Jan Simpson.
SABBATH / Literacy / Numeracy Week
Next week we celebrate our SABBATH week for Term 3. During this week we encourage families to enjoy some extra family time instead of the usual homework routine. Given that SABBATH week coincides with literacy/numeracy week and while the weather is still a bit chilly in the evenings, you could bring out some of those fun family games with a literacy or numeracy base. Maybe share a favourite book from your childhood with your child/ren.
With your help we would love to create a SHPS list of top 50 books to read for children and young people. Please send in your family choice and we will publish a list to share with the community.
Father’s Day
We will celebrate Father’s day quietly this year, similar to Mother’s day, due to the current stage of COVID-19 restrictions. Children are busy creating portraits of the special men in their lives, which are sure to be highly valued in the years to come. Think early Vincent van Gogh!
We are hoping to use our Grandparent’s day celebrations to celebrate FAMILIES in a much more special way. Stay tuned for details.
Take care and God bless,
