Notices

Curriculum Night: HPS is hosting a “How you can help at home” evening in the school hall on Thursday, 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 required.

Absences: In NZ 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.

Support our PTA: The PTA will be selling chocolates, Yum! Chocolates will be given out to students on Friday 9 June (Week 6). A box of 36 chocolates will go out with the eldest or only child in each family. Families will have two  weekends to sell.  Payments and unsold chocolates to be returned to school on or before Monday 19th June.  We thank our families in advance for their support :)

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.
