Hocking Primary School

It might look like a quiet week on the HPS calendar... but behind the scenes, teachers are working hard to finalise Semester 1 reports - so keep working hard students!

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.
