Grandparents Day delights

Throughout this term there have been many varied and exciting events taking place at Helensburgh Public School. Our school community celebrated Grandparents Day with K-2 and 3-6 assemblies and open classroom sessions.

It was fantastic to see the students performing in front of their grandparents or family members and sharing their classroom learning.

Our new enrolments for Kindergarten 2023 visited their new school over three Friday mornings. Teachers were greeted by happy, excited children who had a great time doing play-based learning in the classroom and making new friends while parents were provided a school information session in the hall.

All students have also participated in the fabulous Gumaraa Aboriginal Education Incursion and weekly gymnastics lessons. Stage 3 students were also involved in Dance to Be Fit and a fantastic visit from Saya Sakakibara. Saya is an ex-Helensburgh Public School student, a professional BMX race athlete and 2020 Tokyo Olympian. She is a well-respected member of the Helensburgh community and she discussed her journey as an international athlete as well as talking about doing your best.
