2023 Term 1 - Weeks 9-11 End of term

👋 LIVE FROM THE HIVE … 👋

Where did Term 1 go??!! We wish you all a HAPPY & SAFE HOLIDAY BREAK and we’ll see many of you for Holiday Program (more detail below).

A huge thank you for the 50+ responses to our HIVE PHILOSOPHY REFRESH survey, which was sent to parents, Hive staff and the Exec committees of both Hive and school. We’ve also been gathering input from the kids for the last few weeks…
Now we’ve gathered the raw data, the next move is to draft the philosophy statement, to encompass the emergent themes and encapsulate the needs of everyone involved in our wonderful Hive community. Watch this space…

WELCOME to GEE GEE, the latest member of our growing team. A free spirit with awesome energy, he brings a Cert III in Outdoor Education and bundles of positivity to the team, already proving a huge hit with the senior stage group!

🐝 BEE OF THE WEEK 🐝

Is SYLVIE in Y3, who showed heart-warming consideration towards the Kindys last week, taking special care to make sure they all felt included in our Just Dance session.

Fantastic role-modelling Sylvie and such lovely empathy towards all our Little Bees. We’re proud of you! 💕💕

💡 PARENT REMINDERS 🤔

  • ALWAYS sign your child in/out at the iPad. Any issues: just ask staff for help 👌

  • Please leave school grounds promptly, once you’ve signed out your child
