Our students will have the opportunity to learn to play musical instruments at school with Lewis Eady (commencing week 2 next term). Lewis Eady’s beginner music programme Musical Jam – a fun, instrumental prep programme for children in year 1 and 2 is a great way to get started! For children in year 3 and upwards, 30 minute lessons (group or one-on-one) will take place on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday during school time. Instruments available include piano, keyboard, guitar and ukulele. Singing, recorder, strings, woodwind, drum kit and brass will also be available should there be sufficient interest.

FoHPS Survey Summary
A big thank you to everyone who responded to our FoHPS survey. We received some great
feedback and ideas for future fundraising activities.
Based on responses we received, there was overwhelming support to host a School fair in 2020!
With many commenting, it was a wonderful opportunity to draw the community together. As a result
we will be hosting a School Fair in early 2020! This will be led by helpers and supporters of
Hillsborough Primary School. To help get the Fair up and running we will be holding an initial
meeting to gather ideas with all those that were keen to be involved in sub committees (for stalls).
The more support we get for this, the bigger the Fair can be. We will also be in touch with those that
kindly offered their business contacts for the Fair.
Below are some key callouts from the survey
Mufti, Iceblock and BBQ days were most popular
Based on the feedback we received Bake Sales will now be held outside of the Mother’s
Day/Father’s Day dates
Majority of people are using Kindo along with Newsletter to find out what’s coming up –but
don’t forget about the Mobile App too
It was great to get a view of when people are available to support different events at School
either during, or after school
We received some great ideas for new fundraisers, so look out for these in the future.
Thank you again we really appreciate your support and a reminder that we are always looking
for new FoHPS members.
