Hello, Giinagay, Hai
Michael Blockey - Thank you for helping us make a difference in our community
His generosity and commitment to our community is what makes this a great place to live and work.
The investments he has made in our community by donating his time, talent and treasures, he has accomplished so much over many years, especially the school's bush tucker track.
Because of Michael, he has improved our community and people’s lives.
On behalf of so many people in our community whose lives are better, we thank you.
To show our appreciation there will be a community picnic in the park this Saturday to say thank you. I hope some of the community can come along and join us in a celebration to say a HUGE heartfelt thanks for all Michael has done. The picnic will commence at 12.00pm at the Scotts Head Reserve.
Hope to see you there❤️ All the best to you Michael Blockey
No swimming program for 2020
No formal swimming program is taking place this year, due to the lack of availability of suitable times at our local pool. The time offered was early in this term. This meant our students would have been swimming in a cold pool, which is not conducive for students being comfortable in the water for a long time.
Year 6 Farewell
Our Year 6 Farewell is to be held on Wednesday 9 December. The format for the evening is as follows:
Transition into 2021
All students here at SHPS are supported in a range of ways which aims to build healthy, resilient students who will thrive in school and adult life. As part of that building process, today each student had a taste of what’s ahead next year by spending the morning with their teacher, and in their classes and with their classmates for 2021.
There are a few changes in the staff arrangements next year.
Unfortunately, due to these changes Bu Rebecca will not be returning as a temporary part time staff member. We thank her greatly for her contribution to our school in the last couple of years and will look forward to her still being involved at our school as a casual. Thanks for tuning us all up with your zest and musical talents and appreciate all your care and compassion for our community.
Class teachers for 2021 are:
Year K/1 Bettina Core
Year 1/2 Annette Balfour
Year 3/4 Deborah Swan (Monday to Wednesday)
Year 3/4 Lyndsey Caldecott (Thursday to Friday)
Year 4/5 Adam Rumsey
Year 6 Chris Haynes
Indonesian Team
Karl Krause Working across SHPS and Macksville HS
Emily Brien (Monday to Thursday)
Nicole Mason (Thursday)
Pak Mur (Tuesday to Thursday)
In each class there will be a School Learning Support Officer up until 1.30pm. Leanne Hunt after years as a highly regarded support person, is not coming back in 2021. Working next year more in a casual capacity will give her more flexibility to explore other pathways. We thank Leanne for all she has done to support various students with additional support needs for a number of years. We wish her the best for her future endeavours.
Thanks, yaarri yaraang, terima kasih.

Five Scotts Head Sharks Juniors were selected in the 2021 North Coast Representative Football teams in their respective age groups. Congratulations to Liam Azzopardi, Gypsy Presser-King, Noah Gray, Urukhai Vallance and Wolfe Hudson.
The result is testament to the great effort our little community soccer club has forged in promoting physical activity and developing well rounded citizens through team involvement.
As a major sponsor, Club Scotts is proposing a fundraising event to be held on on Saturday 12 December from 3pm in conjunction with our Barefoot Bowls event. Prizes will be raffled off at this event.
We hope to see you there to support our local students.
As we come to the end of the school year it is really important all overdue books are returned on Library day. After Library this week a note with any overdue books your child has still on loan will be sent home. This week will be the last week of library.
We ask you check at home to find the books and return them with the students as soon as possible. Thank you.
