We are delighted to announce that Helensburgh Public School has recently welcomed 70 enthusiastic Kindergarten students who have joined three new classes. It’s been heartwarming to see our newest members of the school community settling in so smoothly. Many proud siblings have been checking in during lunch and recess to find their younger brothers and sisters happy and engaged. Our Kindy students have been exploring the school grounds, forming new friendships, and eagerly enjoying their learning.

In addition to our youngest learners, we are thrilled with our dedicated 2025 Student Leadership Team. They have had a great start, displaying enthusiasm and commitment. We are sure they will lead by example and make a significant positive impact throughout the year.

As we embrace new beginnings, we also take a moment to bid a fond farewell to Mr Hendry, our beloved General Assistant. After 28 years of tireless dedication, Mr Hendry has retired, leaving behind a legacy of care and excellence in keeping our school well maintained and welcoming. His contributions have been invaluable, and he will be greatly missed by staff, students, and families.

To our new and existing families, we extend a heartfelt welcome. We are so excited to have you as part of our school community and look forward to a wonderful year ahead filled with learning, growth, and memorable experiences.
