Enjoy the long weekend, everyone!

We hit the ground running for the final FIVE weeks of term on Tuesday.

Read all about Chad and Preston’s amazing visit with Mr Reilly in this week’s Hocking Highlights that will be shared this afternoon!

Our fortnightly Values Focus is Uniqueness. At Hocking Primary School, Uniqueness means being strong enough to do what you know is right and being true to yourself.

During our recent Values Assembly, students explored the idea of cultural uniqueness and the importance of valuing the diverse backgrounds, perspectives and experiences that make Australia such a rich and vibrant nation. As part of National Reconciliation Week, students reflected on the historical challenges faced by First Nations peoples and discussed how we can continue moving forward together with understanding, respect and unity.

To finish the session, students participated in a team-building activity where they learned to play the traditional Aboriginal game of Kai. There was plenty of laughter, teamwork and enthusiasm as students embraced the experience together.

Week 6 is upon us. As we head into Reconciliation Week, parents may like to discuss the importance of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultural inclusion.

Today we celebrate our amazing P&C.

Did you know that at last count, on average WA P&Cs donated an estimated total of almost $15 million and nearly 500,000 volunteer hours each year to Western Australian school communities?

WA P&Cs work tirelessly on initiatives that benefit children at public schools. P&Cs are involved in many activities, from facilitating parent participation and involvement in the school, to acting as a forum for parents to discuss school issues and providing resources to the school via fundraising.

The staff at HPS would like to thank our members and volunteers who make a significance impact in supporting our students.

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ What an awesome day at the Champion Schools Cross Country today! 🏅💙🧡

Our students represented Hocking P.S. with pride, showing excellent sportsmanship, persistence and teamwork throughout the entire event. It was fantastic to see our students demonstrating our school values both on and off the course, encouraging one another and giving their very best effort in every race. 👏

We are so proud of the way our students conducted themselves today and the determination they showed from start to finish. A huge congratulations to all competitors — you should be incredibly proud of yourselves! 💪✨

Thank you to our staff and families for all of your support throughout the day! 🙌

Congratulations to LA06 on a fantastic assembly.
