not parking where there is a yellow line. Parking inspectors do visit regularly and issue fines. Please use kiss and drop zone in Risely Avenue.

C amp Quality Puppets On Thursday the 6th of June students will enjoy a FREE puppet show presented by Camp Quality. The

show answers all the difficult questions kids have about

cancer, dispels common myths and teaches students how

to be supportive and understanding of kids impacted by

cancer – all of which prevents bullying and

exclusion. If you DO NOT want your child

to participate please inform the class

teacher or office staff.

We would like to thank all our parent volunteers and the fundraising committee who supported with the Easter raffle. Thanks also to staff for their organisation and work, in particular Ms Snezana Petrov and Ms Keryn Venter, Steve Bourne for the grounds preparation and Jillian and the canteen volunteers for providing a great lunch. The team captains and vice-captains did an excellent job in leading their teams.

On Tuesday 9th April we held our annual Sports Day. The weather was perfect and it was great to see so many families and friends supporting our students. We started Sports Day with the Health Hustle led by some amazing Year 7 students. Junior Primary students had a great time testing their skills by playing all sorts of fun games and activities. House captains and vice captains were outstanding with their organization and leadership skills. The winner of the Sportspersonship Award was Blue Team and overall winner was the Red Team. Congratulations and well done everyone for a successful Sports Day. Snezana Petrov

P.E. AT HENDON Physical Education is one of the specialist subjects at Hendon Primary School. It feeds students with a love of sport. It prepares them for the future to become physically, socially and mentally stronger. Research is also telling us that there is a positive link between students being active and ability to get better marks at school, better information processing, concentration, resilience, memory, behaviour and better team work.
