Principal's Message

Welcome to our first edition of the Horsley Herald for 2023

A very warm welcome to all parents and carers of our new students and their families. I am certain you will enjoy being part of this unique and special community. In 2023 Horsley Park Public School is made up of 85 students and we have had a great start to the year so far.

Meet the Teacher Afternoon

We will be having a Meet the Teacher Afternoon on Wednesday 8th March. Please save the date.

This will be a great opportunity to meet your child/rens teachers.

Notes will be going home soon.

The afternoon will begin at 5:00pm with a BBQ from 5:00-5:30pm then from 5:30 pm-6:00pm parents and carers will have the opportunity to meet their child/rens teacher.

If you are unable to attend and would like to meet your child/rens teacher, please contact the school and we can assist in organising this for you.

The P&C will be holding a Second Hand Uniform stall where you be able to purchase second hand school uniforms.

Attendance Matters

Attendance matters at Horsley Park Public School. Regular attendance at school is essential for students to achieve quality life outcomes. Schools, in partnership with parents, are responsible for promoting the regular attendance of students.

On occasion, your child may need to be absent from school for reasons such as being sick, having an infectious disease or having an unavoidable medical appointment. Please contact the school to provide an explanation if your child is absent.

Parents and carers, you are required to provide a doctor’s certificate if your child is away for 3 or more days. Horsley Park Community, let’s work together to make regular attendance a priority at our school.

Visitors from Wales

On Wednesday 22nd February, seven educators from Wales visited our school. The Wales educators were very interested to learn all about our school. They visited some classrooms and our students shared what they were learning. Students respresented our school proudly showing the Wales educators our values of being respectful, safe and active learners.
