Our vision at Haddon Primary School is to provide a positive, safe learning community which motivates and supports students to become active learners for the

21st Century.

Pupil Free Days Term 2

Friday June 6 Monday 14th July

We have an enthusiastic

gardener! Any parents who

would be keen to become part

of a gardening group please give

us a call. There is a small budget

for the gardening team and we

would love to see some projects

take off!

Please make sure all school

payments are made in a timely

fashion. We are not able to

provide credit and I have noticed

some families are becoming

quite late with payments. We do

not wish to offend but we do

need families to settle accounts

on time. Could I also ask that

there are no late, Parents and

Friends lunch orders. Any that

come in late will be sent home

as this can become difficult for

the parents who kindly organise

the lunches for us.

Reports from Cave Hill have

been very positive; it would

appear that lots of fun has been

enjoyed by all. Staff will no

doubt be very tired as many

children appear to have talked

and giggled well into the

evening. Our camping program

is an integral extra curricula

activity and we are always very

grateful to staff for their

enthusiasm and willingness to

participate. In many schools,

camps have been phased out of

the school program or held

every second year.

Many parents would have seen

the new car park next to the fire

brigade opposite the school.

This car park has been

established by the Golden

Plains Shire to assist with

parking congestion around the

school. I would like to

encourage parents to avail

themselves of the car park,

however students are not

permitted to leave the school

precinct to cross over the staff

car park and the road for

collection .Care and safety are

our number 1 priority and we

rely on parents to support us in

this.

School Council will be held on Friday June 13, in the school

library at 2.30pm
