The Golden Quill 150th Celebrations

Next year we will be publishing a book to celebrate the amazing history of our

school and to put it simply - We need you!

Although official records are available for the early history of the school, and the

2000’s, we are missing a great deal of information about the school, from around

1940 onwards.

We would like to hear from past students and staff, your memories and stories –

hopefully positive – to share in the publication.

No story is ‘too small’. It is the personal recollections and memories that will help

make the book special. It may just be a few lines or a paragraph.

So to all past students and staff we are calling on you! Send in your stories to us to

share in our 150th publication. Send them by email, fax, snail mail or by stagecoach

if necessary.

Finally, if you would like to be involved in the upcoming 150th celebrations in 2020

we’d love to hear from you. We have started some planning, everyone is welcome

to become involved.

Term 3 Food and Agriculture

Our studies for the term are wrapping up and what an incredible term of study. We

have covered everything from vegetables, crops, dairy, wool and chicken farming,

soils, shearing and gardening!

Next week the classroom will again be open for guests to come and view student

work. The portal is bursting with student work and we will be celebrating the end

of a great term.

Congratulations to all of the students who handed in the latest homework project.

Special mention to both Toby and Emily for putting in a little extra effort with their

projects, well done.

Maths Matters

Brains have been buzzing this week as we have targeted fractions this week in

maths. The children have been converting, adding and modelling fractions.

Well, it’s been another busy week at Hill End Public School.

It’s hard to believe that next week is the last week of Term 3.

Our students have worked very hard during the term on

their topic Food and Agriculture. Students have researched

and created some incredible book work about the topic.

They have also completed two information reports for

homework and are working on number three. They have

also finished their PowerPoint presentations on the

‘Shearing Shed’. The portal space looks amazing with so

much information and art and craft about food and

agriculture. Hill End Public School provides dedicated and

experienced teachers for students to engage and learn.

SAKGP Spring is in the air and students are well into their Spring sowing as part of their Stephanie Alexander Kitchen

Garden Program. Over the past two weeks they have planted in seed trays and into the vegetable garden.

It was so good to get some beautiful rain on Tuesday, that will help their seeds. We look forward to seeing

them sprout over the next week or so. We all hope there will be plenty more rain, especially for our farmers.

“Of all the

paths you

take in life

make sure

some of

them are

dirt.”

150th Birthday!

Saturday

7th November 2020

Calling all past students and staff. If you have

any memories of past milestone events at Hill

End Public School we’d love to hear from you.

They can be related to open days, fetes, festivals,

fundraisers and any other events. Please contact

us at addresses or phone number below.

We’d love to hear from you!

Imogen and Charlie had a lovely time at

Little Diggers last Friday. They listened

to a story, played in the sandpit and

coloured in some pictures with Edmond

in the afternoon with some help from

Mrs Kimm and Rebecca. Imogen also

visited the library during the week

with her mum Rebecca.

Our breakfast club has continued to be a great

success during Term 3. It’s such a great start to

the day, all students are ready and alert for their

lessons of the day. We will definitely continue

the breakfast club next term. Go health!
