Principal's Message
There is no need for me to remind you of the shocking week we have experienced as a result of the local fires. My thoughts go out particularly to the parents and students of the Lake Innes, Lake Cathie and the Bonny Hills areas.
The next parent lounge at Westport Campus has been schedule for Friday 8 November at 8.30 am.
The agenda will discuss the progress with the Mobile Phone Policy, Curriculum programs across the year groups and feedback on the Anti-Bullying Policy.
If you have any questions you would like raised at this sessions please email to communications@hastingssecondarycollege.com.au
Anti Bullying Plan Feedback
Campus Principals must ensure that their campus implements an anti-bullying plan that is developed collaboratively with students, school staff, parents, caregivers, and the community, and is reviewed every three years. The current anti-bullying plan was developed in 2017 and expires in 2020.
Countdown to Christmas
Countdown to Christmas is an exciting event held in Port Macquarie’s CBD which aims to bring the entire community together to celebrate the festive season.
This year students of Hastings Secondary College are invited to be part of the parade.
The much loved community celebration will see Horton Street come alive with the hotly contested Mascot Race followed by the popular and lively Christmas Street Parade.
Celebrations will then move to the Town Green where the community can relax with a picnic, get a photo with Santa, experience the lighting of the Christmas tree, enjoy live entertainment and then be wowed by the fireworks spectacular.
This year Hastings Secondary College will have a Christmas Float and parade of students represented by both campuses and our six primary schools.
All students are invited to be part of the parade and join our partner primary schools to celebrate the countdown to the festive season. Details of the event are:
- Date: Thursday 28 November
- Time: 5.15 pm arrival for 5.45 pm parade
- Venue: Meet at St Thomas Church, Hay Street Port Macquarie
- Dress: Christmas
It’s time to don your Santa hat and reindeer antlers and join in the fun at this year’s Countdown to Christmas.
