Hi
I’m Dan and I’m the President of Hornsby
South Public School
P and C Committee. One of the great parts
about being on the P and C
has been the opportunity to connect with
our school staff
led by Sharon Hewitt our Principal. It's
been wonderful to be able to collaborate
on things like
our band that we run
in the afternoons. It's also been great
to collaborate
and be part of the Twilight Concert that
we run every couple of years where we
bring
all of the school community together.
It's been great to see
our multicultural and diverse school
community
come together and put on a great local
community event
participated by the whole school
with all of the different communities
bringing their
individual flair to each of those
outlets and that can be everything from
the great Indian dances that we have at
the
the Twilight Festival but also our
school's
dance group that come along and our band
that play at that event.
What a wonderful way to connect with our
local community.
Hello my name is Tara and I volunteer
with the Hornsby South Public School
Parents Committee what I love about
volunteering is that it gives me a
chance to connect with
the teaching staff and the school staff
in a really meaningful way.
It means that I can grow deeper
connections with the teachers that my
children
are taught by and the teaching staff
that I may not experience
on a on a day-to-day basis. What I love
most about volunteering at Hornsby South
Public School
is that my kids see me investing time
in their education and it doesn't have
to be a lot of time,
it can be five minutes here, it can be
ten minutes there but
they see me engaging with the teaching
staff,
engaging with the wider community and I
think it sets the example that a school
is a place that
everyone can belong and that everybody
has
a part in. It really makes the school
feel like a community,
not just about kids turning up and
learning every day and then going home.

Respectful, Responsible and Aspire.
When someone's being respectful it means that
they're listening to the teacher,
they're being polite to other people and
they're respecting other people's
needs and decisions. Being respectful is
listening to the teacher. It's important
to be respectful
because you're a role model to
younger kids. We have to be responsible
so other people can follow you and be
responsible as well.
Being responsible means you can look
after yourself.
If you don't choose the
right choices
you can end up somewhere you don't want
to be so it's really important
to be responsible. Aspire is trying your
best.
It is stepping out of your comfort zone
and reaching for your dreams
Aspiring
is to try your hardest in all learning times.
I try to do my
best
and try to do what I don't
know I can do.
