Pride Goal

Our new pride goal expectation for the three weeks is:-

Working together when we PLAY,

Hurting others NO WAY!

The first semester of the year ends on Friday. It has been a busy term ending with three way interviews and the issuing of student reports. Thank you parents and carers for attending the interviews and giving such strong support to your children’s learning. Special thanks to the hardworking P&C and all other parent and community members who give their time to help students with their class work, fundraising and working in the kitchen. A big thank you to all our hardworking teachers and support staff. They all work so hard for the best for everyone at Hebersham. We wish all our Hebersham community a happy and safe holiday. We look forward to seeing your children back at school safe and sound on Tuesday 23 July for term 3.

Advice Concerning Head Lice

We have had recent cases of head lice throughout the school. Please check your child’s head for head lice tonight and commence treatment if you find any eggs or lice. A handy tip to prevent the spread of head lice is to spray tea tree oil in your child’s hair or hat.

Further information on head lice is available in English on the NSW Health website and the NSW Department of Education websites at:
