Uniform

Students are expected to wear the school uniform as per the Uniform Policy. The school colours are Gold and Navy Blue. We believe that uniforms worn to school should be appropriate, comfortable, reasonably priced and durable. The policy is supported by the Governing Council and the Parents and Friends Committee. School uniform was made compulsory in 2014. If your child does not wear the uniform a note is required. Please help by ensuring that this occurs. Our school will be contacting parents and caregivers if the student is not in uniform and does not have a note and will then need a shirt brought to the school for the student to wear. It is also advisable to wear appropriate footwear for PE, Design and Technology, Science and in our Kitchen Garden program.

Uniforms, T-shirts, Windcheaters, Polo shirts and hats with the school logo are available from the school through enquiry at the front office. Our Governing Council currently subsidies the school uniform by 50% for staff and students. Please ensure that all items of clothing are labelled clearly and accurately.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Parent Student Teacher Interviews and Mission Australia Visi...

01 Apr 2024

On Tuesday April 9^th and Wednesday April 10^th (Week 11 of the Term) the school will be holding it’s Parent Student Teacher Interview nights. These interviews will be an opportunity for Parents and Students to get feedback from their teachers (in all subject areas Primary and Secondary) on their progress so far this year. These interviews will replace our term one written secondary reports and primary progress checks which have been used for this purpose in recent years. I encourage all parents to take the opportunity to book interviews with all teachers when the Session Keeper portal opens up on Tuesday April 2nd at 9am for interview bookings.The Session Keeper portal can be accessed through the following address: https://hawkeras.schoolzineplus.com/Parent Student Teacher Interviews Term 1 2024

Interview timeslots will run for 15 minutes and run from 3.30pm until 6pm each night.

The meetings will provide the following:

A chance for parents and students to get an idea of how students are progressing so far, in terms of a possible AC grade at the moment. However this would be simply a statement about progress at this point of the semester and should not be taken as a prediction.
Discussion and sharing of student work, areas for further improvement, possible tasks and activities that can also be done at home.
The opportunity for parents, students and teachers to ask questions. The school and home environments are part of a students learning and this is an opportunity to get some clarity here.

Once bookings are made on Session Keeper teachers will be aware of these. If it is not possible to fit an interview in teachers can also be available at other times by appointment through the front office or their school email. Some teachers will be available for conversations on both days, however other teachers will be available as follows:

Amanda Hilder – Tuesday April 9^th
Emily Fels – Wednesday April 10th
Travis McDonald – Wednesday April 10^th
Hayley Brown – Wednesday April 10th

Mission Australia Bookings:

Representatives from Mission Australia/NDIS will also be coming on these days to address any inquiries you may have regarding NDIS. Topics for discussion encompass NDIS access and eligibility, comprehension and utilisation of your NDIS plan, navigating the portal, effectively managing supports and budgets within your plan, and methods for finding and engaging providers. Additionally, parents and community members have the opportunity to have a chat with the Community Engagement Facilitator to discuss recognised community gaps such as employment opportunities, inclusive sporting activities, and available services. These bookings are open to all parents to consider attending.

With the isolation of Hawker and the accompanying issues of difficulties accessing services this offers parents the chance to make a booking to discuss any support issues. Mission Australia can be booked from 2pm onwards each day, running through to 6pm.
