A Big Thank You to Our P&C!

A huge thank you to the Hocking Primary School P&C for generously collecting donations of delicious treats for our staff to enjoy at our World Educators’ Morning Tea.

Your kindness and thoughtfulness helped us celebrate and acknowledge the wonderful educators who contribute so much to our school community.

The dishes have all been cleaned and are available for collection from the school office.

Thank you so much, P&C, for your generosity and ongoing support of our staff!

Tomorrow our Kindy's and Pre-primaries are set to show off their best athletic skills and teamwork. Come on down and cheer them on! You may even get to see some special visitors...

Thank You, Hocking Primary School Staff!

Today, we shine a light on all of our incredible Hocking Primary School staff who contribute to the running of our school and the success of our classrooms every day.
