June 15th from 6pm - 7pm. The hall be set up with Literacy and Maths
stations to provide a range of ways you can support your child at home with
their learning. Childcare is available in the library for HPS students if

students are expected to attend school daily. This is a legal requirement.
Parents are asked to telephone the school office or report it on the HPS School
app by 9am if their child will be absent. HPS operates an answerphone service
at all times to make this process easy for families. When leaving a
message we need to know your child’s first name, last name, room number and the
reason for their absence. In the case of an absence due to medical reasons,
please supply a medical certificate to the school office if your child has been
absent for 3 days or longer.

Chaplain
o
The Board approve the appointment of a
School Chaplain whose purpose is to listen to children who need someone to talk
to other than their teacher. The Chaplain will be Police vetted and be trained
as a Chaplain.
o
The Chaplain does not replace the important role
of teacher or parent but enables children to offload.
o
The Chaplain reports to the Principal only if she
has a concern for the safety of the child.
o
If a child chooses to use this service, they will
bring home a note from the Chaplain, indicating this.
