Westport Campus Newsletter - Saturday 28 March 2020

Principal's Message

Can I say that in all this uncertainty, your support of myself and our staff has been overwhelming.

I know I say this often, but I am VERY proud to be a part of this campus, this College.

I have detailed below the planning for Westport Campus over the next coming weeks and into Term 2.

Rolls will be marked each day for students attending school. If parents/carers are self-isolating their child/ren at home as per the Premiers' directions, they need notify the campus on 6583 6400 or email (hsc-westport-school@det.nsw.edu.au) otherwise the student will be marked as absent unexplained for those days.

This is an unprecedented time, and we need unprecedented kindness. Stay well, and be kind, friends. We need it now more than ever.

Message from Executive Principal - Hastings Secondary College - Ian Ross

As the situation changes in relation to this significant health crisis, we will inform you of any Department of Education updates and will continue to guide and support you.

The current levels of uncertainty affects all members of our Hastings Secondary College community – students, parents and families, and staff. I ask for your collective understanding and patience while we work with the information we are provided and the quickly changing environment to make plans for what lies ahead.

I encourage you to focus on supporting the wellbeing of your children and family.
