Halls Head College ESC

Congratulations to Sandy Hodge on her permanent appointment as Principal of Halls Head College ESC.

Sandy has led our school with care, commitment and a strong focus on our students, staff and families. We are excited to continue this next chapter under her leadership.

Please join us in congratulating Sandy on this wonderful achievement.

📸 Photo Day #1.. SUCCESS!

A quick behind-the-scenes peek from Tuesday 26 May at Halls Head ESC. We were super happy with how smoothly the day ran and how positive the experience was for our students.

Reminder: We have our next photo day on Thursday (28th May), so if your child missed Tuesday or needs another opportunity, Thursday is the day.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Community Connect Autumn Extravaganza last Monday 🍂

It was such a positive afternoon of connection and celebration, and we’re so grateful to our local organisations and community partners who gave their time, energy and support to be part of it.

Thank you to all our families, friends and community members for coming along, and to our staff and students for helping make the day run so smoothly.

We loved seeing the conversations, smiles and community spirit across the school. We’re already looking forward to next time 🤍

📸 School Photos are tomorrow!

A quick reminder that school photos are happening tomorrow. Please help students arrive photo-ready by wearing the correct uniform and having hair neat and tidy (and any accessories kept simple).

Ordering information will be sent home with photo envelopes and shared via Compass. For anyone who misses tomorrow, they will have the opportunity to smile-for-the-camera on the 28th!

Thanks everyone!

Happy Mother’s Day Weekend 💐

To all of our mums, mother figures, grandmothers and carers, thank you for everything you do for our students and our community.

We hope this weekend brings you a little rest, a lot of love, and the appreciation you deserve 💛

A special way to finish our ANZAC reflections.

Our students created ANZAC-themed artwork and baked ANZAC biscuits, taking time to learn, reflect, and honour the meaning behind the day. We’re proud of the care and respect they brought to every part of the process.

Lest we forget.
