Community Charter: We treat each other with respect.
MY COMMUNITY PROJECT As you are aware our P&C has applied for a NSW Government Community Grant to build a multi-purpose small hall. The application is titled “Hall for All at HPS”. The success of this application is entirely dependant upon the number of votes it attracts from the public. Therefore, I encourage you to vote and also encourage everyone you know to vote! Please see the information page attached to this newsletter which has a direct link to click on to vote. Peter Ward Principal
Last week we had a Maths Fun Day, when we celebrated 100 days of being at school this year.
Students did a spectacular job, with the support of their parents and carers, to dress up in a variety
of ways that represented 100. All students participated in different activities integrating skills in
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Here are some photos of the
successful day!

DEBATING NEWS Round Four of the Premier’s Debating Challenge is now complete. Holsworthy ‘Rookies’ defeated
Milperra Public School arguing “That schools should not replace all sports and exercise classes
with more classroom time.” The Holsworthy Titans debated against Casula Public School on the
topic “Teachers should have to participate in all school sport and exercise classes just like
students,” but unfortunately lost their debate. As this is the final round of our debates we excitedly
await the results of other schools to find out if we have made it through to the knockout rounds.
Both teams should be very happy with their performances this year.
