As another school year draws to a close we have much to celebrate and many happy memories.

I would like to acknowledge the outstanding service of our retiring teachers, Mrs Mears, Mrs Bodycoat, Mrs Emery and Mrs Leonzini. They have all touched the lives of so many students in our school and left us with many special memories. We hope that they will come and visit us and who knows, even do some relief work.

Our students have enjoyed another fabulous year. They have excelled in so many fields it is impossible to list them all. I have attended many celebration events and have listened in awe as their achievements have been described. These achievements have been in their academic studies, sport, music, the arts to name just a few and we are justly proud of them.

Our Year 6 students leave to commence high school in 2019. Graduation is a time we celebrate the success of our Year 6 students and also a chance to farewell them. We are extremely proud of all the award recipients and of each and every student who has completed this educational milestone. This includes many of Year 6’s being accepted into specialist programs. Please see attached for more information on this.

Before school commences next year I will be working with staff on the Professional learning days to put into place a smooth opening to the new academic year and addressing the school priorities to build upon the successes of the school so that we can improve still further. We should always seek to do better; to challenge ourselves and our students to set the highest standards and achieve our ambitious goals.

It’s been a great year! Together we’ve learned much and shared experiences that will long remain with us in the years to come. The strength of our Mount Hawthorn School community and wholehearted passion to make our school a wonderful place of learning for our children primarily but for all makes MHPS truly a special place.

Special thanks to our parents who have contributed in ways small, large, and unimaginable! Thanks for getting your children to school on time each day and helping them in the learning process; the partnership between home and school is important. Thanks to the many who give time to the school to assist with discos, renovations, excursions, classrooms and so much more.

I would like to thank our hard working and caring staff members who have made a huge difference to our students. Their commitment is outstanding and our children are the beneficiaries. Thank you for providing rich and engaging, well-rounded experiences for our kids.

In closing, I take this opportunity to congratulate all students of Mount Hawthorn Primary School on a great year. I would like to wish you and yours all the very best for the summer vacation and look forward to welcoming you all back, refreshed, for what will be an exciting, new academic year on Monday, 4 February 2019.

Why does Santa have three gardens? Ho! Ho! Ho!

Have a wonderful break and we look forward to doing it all again in 2019.
