HSC Exams
The year 12 HSC Exams are being held in our school
hall from Tuesday 20th October until Wednesday
11th November. We wish all students from The
Henry Lawson High School all the best for their exams
and future endeavours.
Sporting Schools for Stage One is on
Thursday From 3.15 to 4.15
Last Friday our Year 6 Debating team participated in a debate against Young Public School. This debate was
part of the state knockout competition.
The topic was “Smarter students should be in a separate class”. Our team was on the negative side.
Unfortunately, our team lost. The students have gained many skills this year in presenting and arguing their
cases on a variety of topics. All of their debates have been online which presents it’s own challenges. We
are very proud that they made it to the high level that they attained.
Congratulations to Ella Mitton, Harry Robinson, Daisy McMahon, Jethro Fenton and Dylan Forde.
Last week the school was audited to ensure the school was complying with Department of Education
policies and procedures. The school was compliant in all areas.
World Teacher’s Day
Australia will celebrate and thank the teaching profession on World Teachers’ Day - Friday 30th October.
Teachers (with support from parents and carers) have ensured education continues across the country this
year, despite major challenges. It’s reinforced the significant role teachers play in the lives of children and
students, their families and communities.
Say a big thank you to teachers and celebrate the bright future of teaching. Post a photo in your sunglasses
on social media, either on your own or with family or friends. Use these tags on Facebook or twitter

World Teachers’ Day is held internationally in early October. As it falls during the school holidays for many
parts of Australia, we celebrate a little later. Make sure you have Friday 30th October in your diary to
celebrate and thank teachers!

Fruit and Vegetable Month Winners
During September we participated in Fruit and Vegetable Month.
Students had the opportunity to enter a Fruit and Veg Month competition called “Plan Your Patch” which involved drawing and describing your dream fruit and vegie patch.
This competition ran over all of NSW and there was one prize awarded for each Year level over the whole state. The prize is a gardening tool set, gloves and seeds. Everything you need to get started growing your dream fruit and vegie patch.
We were lucky enough to have a winner from Grenfell Public School, well not just one winner but two!
Our talented designers winning the Year 1 section is Braxton Chalker-Triolo and the Year 2 section is Darcy Griffin.
Congratulations boys, well done!
