💙 Term 4, Week 5 Attendance Update! 💙

🌟 What a fantastic start to Term 4, Hill Toppers! 🌟

We are thrilled to share that our whole school attendance rate is currently 92.5%, exceeding our school attendance goal of 92%! 🎉

Even more exciting, approximately 70% of our students have an individual attendance rate above 90%! This is a wonderful achievement and reflects the collective efforts of our students, families and staff in prioritising regular school attendance.

A special shout-out to our Kindergarten superstars, who are leading the way with an outstanding 97% attendance rate! ⭐👏

As we move through Term 4, it is important that we keep this positive momentum going. This is a busy and valuable term of learning, with students consolidating key knowledge and skills developed throughout the year, building confidence and preparing for their next stage of learning.

Every school day provides important opportunities for learning, growth and connection. Consistent attendance ensures our students can make the most of these opportunities and finish the school year strongly.

Thank you to our wonderful Hill Top families for your ongoing support and commitment to getting our students to school each day.

💙 Let's keep up the fantastic effort, Hill Toppers! Every day, every student, every opportunity! 💙

💙🐨 A Little Space to cHill at Hill Top! 📚🧩

At Hill Top Public School, we know that every learner is different, and that means recognising that our students have different needs, even during playtime! 💙

While the playground is a wonderful place for students to run, play and connect with friends, we also recognise that sometimes the hustle and bustle can feel a little overwhelming.

That’s why we love our cHill Tops! 🌿

Every day during Break 2, our school library transforms into a calm, welcoming space where students can take a break from the busy playground and enjoy a range of structured activities, including LEGO, reading, colouring and quiet games. 🧩📖🎨

But cHill Tops is about so much more than quiet play!

It’s a space where students can connect with friends, enjoy meaningful conversations with our duty teachers and continue building the positive, trusting relationships that are so important to their sense of belonging at school.

💙 Because at Hill Top, we believe student wellbeing doesn’t stop when the classroom door closes.

We are proud to provide opportunities that recognise and respond to the diverse social, emotional and wellbeing needs of our learners throughout the entire school day.

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. 💙

🍎💙 World Teachers' Day 2026 | Friday 30 October

This Friday, we celebrate World Teachers' Day, a special opportunity to recognise the incredible teachers who make a difference in the lives of our children every single day!

At Hill Top Public School, we are fortunate to have a dedicated team of teachers who bring passion, creativity, care and high expectations into their classrooms. They do so much more than teach — they inspire curiosity, build confidence, nurture a sense of belonging and help our students recognise what they are capable of achieving.

Our teachers truly embody our school values of Kind Hearts, High Expectations and Lifelong Learners. 💙

✨ Help us celebrate our teaching gems! ✨

In the lead-up to World Teachers' Day, we invite our families and community to take a moment to recognise a teacher who has made a difference.

Through the NSW Teaching Gems Map, you can share a message of appreciation for a teacher who has inspired, encouraged or supported your child.

💎 Share your message here:
https://world-teachers-day-map.nesa.nsw.edu.au/

A few kind words can mean so much. Let's fill the map with messages of appreciation for our wonderful Hill Top teachers!

To our incredible teaching team — thank you for all that you do, every day. We are so fortunate to have you! 💙

🔬🧬 SCIENCE IS FUN IN YELLOW! 🦴

Who knew cereal and pipe cleaners could make learning about science so much fun? 🍝

Our clever scientists in Yellow have been exploring the fascinating world of vertebrates and invertebrates, discovering what makes them different and the characteristics that help us identify them.

To bring their learning to life, students got creative and built their very own models of spines using cereal and pipe cleaners!

This hands-on activity helped students develop their understanding of how a backbone is structured, while encouraging curiosity, creativity and plenty of scientific thinking.

We love seeing our students learning by doing, asking questions and having fun along the way!

Well done, Yellow! 💙
