20.01.2022 We are happy to share our very first episode of GHPS Connect - a 6 episode video podcast series produced by our School Captains, with our Facebook community. This episoide showcases learning in Year 3. Due to Covid restrictions, we have been unable to welcome our community into our beautiful school or hold whole school assemblies to showcase the amazing learning happening in each class. So we hope that, for now, our video podcast gives you a better insight into Gledswood Hil...ls Public School. In each episode, we will get to know our student leaders and some of our teachers a little better, showcase some of the amazing learning happening in our grades, remind students about safety and respect in our playground and share any events or reminders. We hope you enjoy watching and stay tuned for our next episode avaiable next Friday!

05.01.2022 Kindergarten orientation is an important and very exciting time for Kindergarten students and their families. As per the most recent Department of Education advice, due to COVID-19 restrictions, schools in NSW are not permitted to hold any Kindergarten orientation sessions on site in Term 3. It is at this point unknown if this directive from the Department will change in Term 4. We will be giving all Kindergarten families and students, access to several virtual videos aimed at allowing students to see our current Kindergarten cohort at work and play. These videos will give new students a snapshot into a day in the life of a Gledswood Hills Public School student. Please be assured a successful and smooth transition to school is, and always will be our highest priority.

05.01.2022 Please ensure that your child/ren have a refillable water bottle every day. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, children are not able to use the bubblers.

01.01.2022 A huge THANK YOU to our wonderful Gledswood Hills Public School General Assistant, Mr T, who worked so hard during our school holidays. He dug tonnes of soil to fill our gardens, ready for the Kindergarten Garden Club’s first seedlings to be planted. The teachers have amazing, grand plans for the development of Gledswood Hills Community garden which will eventually be planned and run by our students. Our first Kindy Garden Club can’t wait to get busy in the garden and see o...ur sunflowers, carrots and peas grow. We just hope the local bunnies don’t like them as much as we do!!! A big shout out to Bunnings at Gregory Hills who so kindly helped us to get our plan off the ground by supplying us with garden beds and gloves for our students to wear while they are toiling away in the garden. We will keep you up to date as our school garden grows and develops into something quite wonderful!!
