08.01.2022 Only 8 days to go until our WALK FOR WHEELS event! Please get your friends and family members to pledge a small donation to raise money for our school bus by completing the pledge sheets that were sent home a couple of weeks ago. We also thought it would be great if students could come wearing the colour of their favourite HVS Values character - either Sasha (yellow), Rani (purple) or Lenny (teal). It only has to be a t-shirt or whatever you might already have at home. Weather forecast is set to be 18 degrees with a chance of rain, but it's early days and we're sure we can get out in between showers. GO HVS!
