Christmas Staff Social (Thursday, 14 December, 18:30 onwards)

Our admin team have been doing some research for us. Despite checking in early October, it looks like Friday, 8 December, is a no-go. We will now plan for Thursday, 14 December. Many companies are probably securing their Christmas bookings, so we should decide soon. Our annual budget is $400pp, SLT will contribute. Depending on the final choice, teachers might be asked to contribute as well.

Island School Quest Week 2023 - Nest week: 6 - 10 November

Sanni, Kaitlyn, and Kate, students from Year 11/12 at Island School, will be joining us at Hillside for their Quest Week. They will be assigned to the K2 floor, where they will have the opportunity to gain valuable experience working with children and in a professional environment. Throughout their time here, they will have the chance to shadow teachers and educational assistants and provide assistance with various tasks. We appreciate your hospitality in hosting them and providing a warm welcome to Hillside.
