 On Thursday 5 February there will be information sessions held for parents with children at Heritage College. The Infants session will commence at 2:15pm, the Primary Session at 3:15pm and the High School session at 4:00pm. We look forward to seeing parents there.

In 2008 Heritage College was included in the list of Top 200 Schools for HSC Results. Congratulations to the teachers, students and the families of that highly successful group of students. The results were fantastic. In fact, Heritage College was 89th on the list, which is outstanding. We have not performed so well in the 12 years of the school's history. We also congratulate other local independent schools for gaining a position on the list - Newcastle Grammar 38th, Hunter Valley Grammar 65th, Avondale School 149th, St Philip's Christian College Waratah 178th, Central Coast Grammar 182nd. We attach the full list for your interest.

 The 2009 school year is off to a great start. It's fantastic to see so many students return to school with happy smiling faces. Our students are keen to see their friends again and they are keen to face new challenges in the new year levels. We welcome a number of new students in kindergarten and there are also new students in the Primary and High School classes. We hope 2009 is a successful and positive year for the whole school community. May God continue to bless the work of Heritage College.

Two Student Leaders with the Mayor

Last Thursday we had Darren Tappouras and Andrew Dangerfield run a day of activities based on a Bible Focus. This was organised by the SRC and the School Captains. It was a great day. Thanks to everyone involved.

The Parents and Friends Day was a huge success. We had a lot of keen visitors attend our Concert and Lunch. Thank you to all those who attended, and thank you also to those who organised the concert, the morning tea and the delicious lunch. A really fantastic effort!

Today parents have the opportunity to talk to the teachers about their child's progress. Please keep strictly to the sceduled times to ensure that everyone has adequate time with each teacher.

Reuben Ryan (grade 6) represented the Hunter Region at the CIS Swimming Carnival on Wednesday. He came sixth in 50m breaststroke. Well done, Reuben! Great job.

The interim reports were issued to all families today, and parent interviews are being held on Monday afternoon.
