Term 4 – Week 5 Security Phone: 1300 880 021 Thursday 7 November 2013 Achieving a quality education for Hill Top Public School Telephone: 4889 8227 www.hilltop-p.school.nsw.edu.au From the Principal’s desk Dear Parents, Carers and Hill Top Community members, Here we are rapidly approaching the half way mark in our school term. How do you think we are progressing as a school community? If you have some firm opinions and any positive suggestions for change to make our school an even better place, I encourage you to do two things. To attend our P&C meeting this afternoon at 3.10pm so that you can join in the discussion. To complete the Annual School Report surveys that I will be making available in the coming weeks. I would like to gauge the school community satisfaction on a range of topics as well as hearing from you about school welfare and the way that we are teaching numeracy skills to your children. Have you enjoyed the Kindergarten Orientation sessions in the past fortnight? I know they have been informative and well attended. I am looking forward to meeting many of the new school parents at our last orientation on Thursday 14 November. Before I sign off today, I would like to thank the parents who made themselves available yesterday to take our budding scientists to Wollongong for the Science Fair. I am told that the day was a great success and as usual all students enjoyed the chance to represent our school with pride. Have a great week and an even better weekend! Yours sincerely, Mark Gardiner.

Hill Top teachers have been working hard over the past month to help train our next generation of teachers. You may have noticed Naomi Baird and Rebeka Jones in the playground or working on your child’s class. As part of our school’s commitment to public education, we believe that we also have a duty to educate our next best and brightest teachers, which is why you often see these university students on our school site. Next week we will also be hosting 2 High School work experience students from Bowral High School and we also extend a warn welcome to them and look forward to seeing them soon.
