Dear Parents and Carers,

This morning we received the very sad news that our canteen supervisor Sue Holland passed

away quietly in her sleep. We pass our sincerest condolences onto Sue’s family at this very

difficult time. Sue has been the face of the canteen at Hillvue Public School for many years and

will be missed by students, staff and parents. In addition to running the canteen, Sue regularly

attended P & C meetings and organised food and drinks for many school events. Nothing was

ever a problem. I am sure you will understand that members of staff are very upset by Sue’s

death. We appreciate your support during this very difficult time.

Chris Shaw A/Executive Principal

What’s happening in

1/2D In 1/2D we have been learning about wet and dry

environments.

We made rock pools using sand and real sea shells.

They are a wet environment.

We made cactuses in a hot desert.

They are found in a dry environment.

SPORTSVUE

Tamworth Zone PSSA Cross Country On Monday the 27th of May, 27 Hillvue students travelled to Barraba to represent Hillvue P.S at the Zone Cross Country competition. The 12/13 years and 11 years boys and girls had to run a 3km course whilst the 10 years and 8/9 years boys and girls had to run a 2km course. After the course walk in the morning we found that all courses contained 'heart break hill' right at the start! The Hillvue students displayed fantastic behaviour and sportsmanship throughout the day with students cheering on their teammates throughout the day. We ended up with 5 students moving to the next level: Tristian Roberts - 6th in the 12/13 years boys Lauren Sampson - 2nd in the 11 years girls Caleb Bergan - 1st in the 11 years boys Michael Colonel - 2nd in the 11 years boys Dempsey Nicholls - 5th in the 10 years boys These students will be competing at Coolah on Friday the 14th of June. We wish them the best of luck. Hillvue also managed to take out the teams event in the 11 years boys’ division. Team members were Caleb Bergan, Michael Colonel, Tyren Cloak and Stephen Murray.

Premier’s Sporting Challenge Our school has registered to participate in the 2013 NSW Premier’s School Sport Challenge. The purpose of the challenge is to encourage students to participate in physical activity and to have more students, more active, more often. Over a 10 week period beginning on Monday 3rd June 2013 our K to 6 classes will be monitoring the physical activity we do during class time, at recess and lunch. Each student has been issued with a Challenge log book to record physical activity. Our students are really looking forward to participating in the challenge and having fun along the way.
