Pastoral and Student Well-Being News
Another wonderful year at HR for social and emotional learning with both year 2 classes completing the Feelings and Friends Programs (Aussie Optimism), 19 year 4 students participating in Seasons for Growth and our year 6’s giving back to our community through the Council Group program. As a whole school, we have worked on our relaxation techniques and we really know how to Make Jesus Real. Thanks to all staff and families for your support and I wish you all the very best for Christmas and 2022.

Science News
Last week the year 5’s made Solar Cookers. They could design and build the cooker as creative as they wished with the aim being to cook marshamallows, however some adjustments were needed with the low temperatures.
Research was undertaken, melting points considered and chocolate and mozzarella cheese were the 2 items to try and heat enough to melt.
We had a lot of success which was very surprising for a 22 degree day! The children had a lot of fun and photos are on their ipads for viewing. We have selected a few to show in the newsletter.

LIBRARY NEWS
Thank you to our wonderful HR community for a great year of reading and library fun! It has been fantastic to get back into Book Club and Chess Tournaments, as well as have our bigger library space back for weekly borrowing, lunchtime games and as a space for Literacy and Enrichment programs. With some books still not returned, and new exciting things happening in the library next year, it is super important they are replaced. Please have any replacement books returned to the front office on Monday 13th December. Thank you to Sr Eileen, my magnificent Library Monitors, Chess Umpires and parent helpers this year – you all make magic happen. With best wishes and thanks for a very Merry Christmas and wonderful holidays!
See you in 2022!
