HASTINGS HERO AWARDS
Congratulations to Kiara Nicholson (2J) and Frida Aaso (5J) who were named our Term 2 Hastings Heroes
at this week’s K-2 and 3-6 Assemblies respectively. Their citations read …
KIARA NICHOLSON Kiara is a young lady who should be very proud of herself.
Kiara endeavours to do her best in all situations. She is always respectful, considerate and willing
to help others; a true virtue!
Kiara is a model student who promotes our school’s values with a positive attitude and a smile. Well done, Kiara!
FRIDA AASO Frida is a caring and extremely enthusiastic class member who brings a sense of inquisitiveness and love of learning to school. Her ability to find the positive in any situation is commendable. Frida makes the most of every opportunity that comes her way, whether it be trying a
new sport, playing an instrument or helping a classmate who is struggling with a new concept.
Thank you for being that ray of sunshine who brings warmth to 5J each and every day! Keep shining, Frida!
Our Hastings Hero Awards are proudly sponsored by Craig Barnett of First National Real Estate.

PRINCIPAL MATTERS
TERM 2 WRAP UP!
What a jam packed Term 2 it has been with so many
wonderful events, opportunities and learning
experiences taking place. Congratulations to all of our
students for their hard work, focused attention on
achieving learning goals and accomplishment of
creative and sporting endeavours. I am very proud of
the work that has taken place this term and I applaud
the dedicated work of students and teachers. A very big thankyou to our P&C and many committed parent
helpers who turn up to classes week after week to support class learning programs. We look forward to
your ongoing support in Semester 2.
We are blessed to live and learn in a beautiful environment surrounded by a very supportive community.
Many of our families frequent the Waniora Shops in the mornings and afternoons and we ask that, as a
school community, we all respect the businesses there by behaving in the same way that is expected at
school. As a community, we need to work together to promote high levels of behaviour and respect in all
settings. Any children who display inappropriate behaviour, including criminal behaviour, will be referred
directly to the police.
Congratulations to our Year 5 campers. The reports from camp indicate that your behaviour was exemplary
with many exciting and positive experiences enjoyed by all. A huge thankyou to our staff who organised and
accompanied the students. Undoubtedly you will all be looking forward to a rest in the holidays.
Term 3 begins on Monday 22nd July with the Staff Development Day. Staff will engage in professional
learning and planning for Semester 2.
Wishing everyone a well-earned, restful break. Enjoy your holidays, stay safe and keep well. We will see you
back at school on Tuesday, 23rd July.

MULTICULTURAL PUBLIC SPEAKING
Congratulations to the students of Beechwood, Kempsey West, Lake
Cathie, Laurieton, Port Macquarie, Tacking Point, Telegraph Point and
Hastings Public Schools who participated in the District Finals of the
Multicultural Public Speaking competition at Hastings yesterday.
Each student presented a prepared speech on a topic of their choice
given by the Department of Education’s Arts Unit. These speeches
had to have a multicultural theme and explore relevant issues.
Overall, the adjudicator commented on the high quality of speeches.
In addition, students also prepared an impromptu speech. Stage 2
students had five minutes to prepare a speech on “One Favourite
Thing” whilst Stage 3 prepared and presented a speech on “Space”.
Both divisions were taken out by the Morris boys with Tallin (3/4P)
winning Stage 2 and Kaeleb (5/6S) winning Stage 3. Congratulations
also to Jeremy Lawrance (3/4P) and Drew de Silva (5/6S) who were
awarded Highly Commended. Good luck to Tallin and Kaeleb at the
Regional Finals to be held in August.
HASTINGS HEADLINES Jemima French (2J) and Addison Lunn (5J) ... Congratulations to Jemima & Addison whose artwork has
been selected as two of 73 finalists in the 2019 University of New England School Acquisitive Art Prize.
Overall, there were 576
entries.
Jemima’s “The Colourful
Magical Forest” and
Addison’s “The Numbat”
will be on display from
2nd to 18th August in the
2019 Let’s Hang It!
exhibition at the New
England Regional Art
Museum (NERAM),
Kentucky Street,
Armidale.
William Martin (5J) … In the PSSA Golf Competition in Yamba held on
Tuesday 2nd July, William (pictured at right) finished as runner up,
narrowly missing the outright win by 2 strokes. He played
outstandingly as the youngest player in the 18 hole event and was
really unfortunate not to take winner’s spot. He did however win the
lowest nett score of the day shooting 3 under for a score of 64, and
has also made the North Coast NSW Team where he will be
representing our school and region in Sydney in
September. Congratulations, well done and good luck, William!
