Assistant Principal's Report
The year has flown by, and we are now well into our final Term of learning for 2025. Is it because of my age, or does time seem to fly by quicker each year? There are lots of events happening this Term as we move towards the ever busy Christmas season.

Attendance
Attendance at school a legal requirement and unless students are sick, or you have applied for leave, they should be at school by 8.50 each morning. Many of our students have an attendance rate of below 90% which equates to a student missing over 4 weeks of school annually. This can leave gaps in your child’s learning and social development.
Another big problem at HNS is that many families do not contact the school when their child is unwell. Please ensure that you notify us either through the Compass app or by contacting the school office. If we are not notified of absences within 7 days, the student is marked with an unexplained absence. These unexplained absences are flagged and then we have to follow the Diocesan procedure around non-attendance. Please be vigilant in this area.
Uniform
We have started the Term calmly and it is wonderful to see most students abiding by our uniform policy. The biggest issue is shoes and socks. Students are to wear black socks (not ankle socks) and black leather joggers each day to school. Socks with logos and coloured shoes are unacceptable. Thank you for your support in this area.

Lots of events are happening this Term, so keep your eye on the Compass calendar.
