Ghandi
Learning and Teaching
Welcome back to Term 2, it is already heating up to be a busy and
productive term. Each Year Level and the Specialist Team have
prepared an engaging and significant curriculum. They will be
relaying details of the term’s overall plan next week in their
Curriculum Newsletter. The teaching and learning program is
focussed on teaching the skills of reading, writing and number
but also goes a lot deeper to develop children’s knowledge
and understanding of the world in which they live. Our
program assists students to develop a deeper understanding
of who they are and also consider other people’s perspectives.
We actively develop our school value of acceptance, valuing
diversity within our school and beyond, fostering a caring of
humanity. We encourage an increasing awareness of the state
of the planet with the intention of cultivating care and hope. In
the older years they start to develop an understanding of world
issues and trends. Our overarching goal is to help everyone be
the best learners they can be, and to live responsibly with each
other. Our school values of respect, acceptance, integrity and
life-long learning underpin all of our work.
I want to share with you a beautiful moment in a Year 1 class
when students were inquiring into ‘What is Science’? One
child stated ‘holding bubbles in your hand’. We are in a very
privileged role as teachers sharing many special moments
with your children.

Prep 2016 Information Night
This week I have had great pleasure in visiting three local kinders. What inspiring creative learning
spaces they are. It was good to talk with each centre’s staff about child centred learning and
transition to school.
We are now taking enrolments for Prep 2016 at HPPS. We are holding an Information Evening
for any interested parents.
Everyone is welcome, please spread the word.
Date: 5 May
Time: 7:00pm
Venue: School Library
If you are already a HPPS family and have a Prep child starting next year please call into the
office and collect your enrolment pack.
Any interested parents may also attend any of the ‘Celebration of Learning Assemblies’ being
held for Education Week. The dates are below.
Education Week in May
This year we are holding special ‘Celebration of Learning Assemblies’ on the following dates. An

Assessment and Reporting - Three Way Conferences at the end of term 2
Your child’s portfolio will be used at the ‘Three Way Conference’ in the last week of Term 2 to
celebrate his/her learning and make new goals for the next level of work. All parents will be
invited to attend the ‘Three Way Conference’ with their child and class teacher, this is an integral
part of the educative process. Your child’s written report will be sent home prior to this.
If for any reason you have a need to speak with your child’s teacher about a concern or confidential
matter please make an appointment at the time of need. It would not be appropriate to wait
until the end of Term 2. Addressing concerns or perceived needs is important and must be
attended to at the time.

See the newspaper article to find out more about the very talented Mrs. Moore.
Heany Park Primary School - The Weekly Well
www.heanyparkps.vic.edu.au
Mrs Moore would like to invite you and your families/friends or anyone who may be interested
in this concert at the Karralyka Theatre on 18th of April. It is to commemorate this significant
event in Australia’s history.
Maroondah Brass is a community organisation, supported by the Maroondah City Council and
the Ringwood RSL. Members are all volunteers who enjoy creating music and entertaining
people. Mrs Moore plays the baritone (google it) in the band with her husband who is the
conductor. The program consists of music from the WWI era with some WWII and Vietnamese
mix in there also. Make sure you take your singing voices along for a WWI sing along. It will
have a good mix of light and reflective music.
So, if you’re looking for something different to do on Saturday the 18th, maybe an intro into the
world of brass bands is just what you need!

2015 HOUSE CROSS COUNTRY
With blue skies, fresh cut grass and birds chirping, the
scene was set for a fantastic day of outdoor fun as students
from all year levels competed in the annual Heany Park
House Cross Country Carnival.
On the morning of Wednesday the 25th of March the
school oval became a Red, Blue, Green and Yellow sea of
enthusiasm as students did their best to take home the
house cup for 2015. Every student who participated
received a ribbon and house points for their team and this
year Bunurong (blue) house claimed the House Cup.

Rowville Sports Academy Volleyball Cup Newsletter
On Friday the 20th of March, the Rowville Sports Academy hosted the first annual Primary School’s
Volleyball Cup inviting Heany Park to compete against Rowville, Glenferrie and Glendal Primary.
Myself, along with RSA’s Head Volleyball Coach Peter Bundy, were very impressed with the
willingness and dedicated nature or our students , with Heany Park bringing 24 boys and 20 girls
from Year 6 to participate in the event – the most of any other school in the area.
The students competed in a modified volleyball tournament, received a tour of the state of the art
facilities at the academy and also a gift pack for their participation.
I congratulate the students for the sportsmanship they showed on the day.
We would like to thank the Rowville Sports Academy for their generosity in providing transportation
for Heany Park staff and students.
