25.01.2022 The weather forecast for the next 24hrs does not look great for our sports day. We will make a decision tomorrow morning by 8am. If we cant go ahead with it tomorrow, we will still have the sausage sizzle. Ice blocks and cakes will be available to purchase by the children at first and second break. We will then aim to run the sports day next Friday. We will keep you posted via email and Facebook.

25.01.2022 Prep excursion on Wednesday has been postponed due to the weather.

24.01.2022 Hi Hamilton SS families!! A quick reminder that the 2020 Keepsake bags orders are due in by the 25th November 2020 - next Wednesday. These bags are a fantastic memento for the kids, with each student's personal drawing of themselves printed on every bag! It is such a great item for them to look back on and remember their friends and the wonderful staff of Hamilton SS.... Our P & C fundraisers are vital to the school, with funds donated back to the school for things like new and updated technology, the cost of the buses for excursions so you don't have to bear the cost, we even replaced the whole air conditioning unit in the prep room to ensure it was sufficient with the huge number of students in the prep classes! This will be our very first whole of school made project, so get on it to be a part of a great fundraiser for your kids and their school Nicki P & C President

04.01.2022 Hi all, this is a really great initiative that makes accessing organised sport cheaper for families. If you have a Health Care Card / Pensioner Concession Card holder you can apply directly. I am also a referral agent and am able to put in referrals for families that may be in financial need. These vouchers bring the cost of playing an organised sport down to $150, which is a big saving for most sports. ... If you would like to be considered for this or you have any other questions, please come and see me or send me an email. Liam
