13.01.2022 It is with great sadness I let you know that Sue Turner, our much loved Parent Engagement Officer, passed away last week after a short battle with cancer. Sue touched many lives in our school community and her passing is hard to take in. Hopetown will be forever grateful for her incredible support of our families over the last couple of years. Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family during this difficult time.

13.01.2022 Welcome back to term 4 everyone! We hope you have enjoyed a relaxed holiday break :) Sadly we are still not allowed to welcome our Thursday parent group back on site as yet but they are still meeting if you would like a chat together! Call us to find out where the next meeting is being held!... With the weather warming up this term and COVID-19 restrictions still in place using our bubblers, we are asking that from Monday 19th October, all students bring a plastic water bottle to school which they are able to refill with water throughout the day. Our swimming pool is open this term and students will have the opportunity to swim during the week. It is useful for students to bring swimmers and a towel to school which can be left here throughout the week and then taken home for washing at the weekends. Lastly, we have reminded students that mobile phones are to be handed into teaching staff on arrival at school. We look forward to an exciting and productive term :) Please give us a call on 4353 2522 if you have any questions or concerns,
