In August, we celebrated Public Education Week, a time to reflect on and take pride in the shared achievements and excellence of public education across NSW. This year’s theme was, “Proud to Belong”.

This was beautifully demonstrated during our open classroom sessions where families were welcomed into rooms for students to proudly showcase their work and play educational games.

This showcased the strong partnership between parents, students and teachers, highlighting the shared dedication to ensuring every student receives the best possible education.

In addition to opening our classrooms, we held our Book Week Parade. It was wonderful to see so many families here, cheering on the students and teachers as they paraded in their book-themed costumes and shared their favourite books.  

We are proud to belong to the Helensburgh Public School community that values and supports public education.
