PRINCIPAL'S PERSPECTIVE
Andrea Hunter
Kia ora koutou,
Congratulations to all of the tamariki/children who participated in the the Taiopenga Festival yesterday. The performance was outstanding and I felt very proud of our school. Huge thanks to Andrea Watts and Matua Grant for supporting our students with this performance. The school had approximately 120 students in each group. Thank you also to all the staff who worked behind the scenes with organisation - costumes, hair piece, moko and supervision. We are fortunate to have a great team who ensure our students are able to participate in this prestigious cultural event.

We also congratulate all students who participated in the AIMS games last week and the Nationals for Dance NZ Made. Rebecca Radford placed second in the Year 4 solo’s and Mia Beck placed first in the Year 8 solo’s. Mia Beck and Luella Dickie placed first in the Year 7/8 Duo’s and Catherine Butt and Bella Kay placed third in the Year 7/8 Duo’s. The Year 7 group dance ‘A Little Party’ were amazing and congratulations to all who participated and represented the school so beautifully.
The AIMS games

This year Hilltop School sent a team of six competitors to compete in the Mountain Biking Enduro and Cross Country events. Loch McKay, Charlie Kirkcaldie, Jed Stewart, Lockie Bell, Ashton Farmer and Zach Thompson represented HIlltop School in incredibly challenging weather conditions.

Uniform at Hilltop School
As the term draws to an end and we get ready for Term 4, we remind our community that students are expected and encouraged to take pride in their general appearance. Our school uniform contributes to the tone and atmosphere of the school, encourages a sense of belonging and confidence in children, and enables parents to ensure equity in dress.
The school uniform is compulsory for all students who are enrolled and attend Hilltop School. Next term students are required to wear the school sunhat.
Full details about our school uniform can be found here. When students are observed wearing the incorrect uniform on consecutive days, a notice will be sent through Hero informing parents/caregivers so that this can be remedied.
