Bring your instrument to school.
Many students told me last term that they are learning to play an instrument at home and they would love a chance to show me their skills. I will be opening up the music room on Tuesday 28th May from 8:30am – 8:50am and at lunch for students to come and show me their instruments if they wish to.
I would love to give them the opportunity to play something short for me as well. It will be very informal. I will not be providing any training or lessons on the day, rather just an opportunity for me to hear and see what they already know. My hope is that we can open up more opportunities as the year goes by for students to link their home music learning into the school context.
I have a piano in the room for piano students to use if they wish, otherwise all other instruments will need to be brought into school for the day and can be stored securely in the music room store room. Please make sure they are clearly labelled.
Mrs. Britton
HPCS Athletics Carnival.
We are so thankful that we were able to continue with our Athletics Carnival on Tuesday. We had a very successful day participating under the warm sun. We had amazing performances from all our students.
Thank you to all the parents who came to support and help out on the day. We are very blessed with a beautiful school community.
HPCS Cross Country
On Wednesday we had our HPCS Cross Country at school. All our students participated in a 500m , 2km or 3km race.
We had an amazing time cheering our students on and enjoying a run in the fresh air and beautiful sunshine.
