On behalf of the Haultain Parent Association, welcome to a new school year! I'm sure that most parents spent the last few days rummaging through sale bins in search of a matching shoe, or pushing shopping carts around - laden with foolscap pads, binders, and multi-coloured pens and pencils. Well, here's day one. The payoff.As in previous years, the Association blog will endeavour to provide information for parents of students who attend Haultain. There's a calendar of events at the bottom of this page that will be updated shortly (Click here to view the school calendar as a .pdf) - and there's a direct email link to the Association itself, at the top right-hand of the page. Please feel free to ask questions, or leave comments using the 'comment' feature, found at the end of each blog entry. We'd love to get your feedback, or have your questions.
Also - if you're unable to attend Association/Council meetings, this site acts as a forum for issues you'd like brought up at meetings. Your submitted question/issue will be discussed at the meeting, with the results being published in the meeting minutes - which then get posted online for all to see. It's a good feeling to see your input being considered - and being engaged in your student's school environment is crucial to their learning.
Finally - welcome to our new friends from Queensland Downs. It'll be great to meet you all - and have your input and involvement in the Parent Association.
Here's to another great year!

Thanks Nick - I was at the school this morning and it was the usual happy chaos of first day with the kids getting sorted with new teachers and new entry doors and classmates. It was great.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to extend my personal welcome back to all as well. Looking forward to another great year!
