Romsey Christmas Carols
As usual, we will be participating in Romsey's Community Christmas Carols on the 13th of December. The stage will be set up on the northern oval of Romsey Primary School. There will be a BYO picnic and food trucks available from 6pm with the Carols  starting at 7pm. Students will come dressed in Christmas colours and generally perform just before Santa arrives; we will provide you with an approximate performance time when we have more information.

Historically, we don't do a formal RSVP for this event but will ask your child whether they are attending in the week leading up.

Jets Gymnastics by Immanuel, Jasper and Micah

On Wednesday the 19^th of November 2025 the whole school went to Jets Gymnastics. We had a one hour session and we did three activities. There was the tumble track, the bars and the high bars.

The tumble track was an obstacle course that had many different parts including a cartwheeling pad, forward rolls, and a long trampoline where we had to do different moves each time we went on the trampoline.

The bars are long beams with different challenges for each beam. The first beam was where you had to do a kick to the side every step, the second beam you had to lift your knee up as high as you could with every step. The third beam you had to carry foam blocks from one side to another, and the fourth and fifth beams were free beams, so you could do anything you liked on them.

The high bars were three separate sections. One was where you had to hold onto a bar and roll your feet back and forth on an inflatable cylinder. The second was where you had to swing around on a bar, and the third was where you had to hold a bean bag in your feet while swinging.

We had a great day bouncing, flipping and swinging. The tumble track was everyone's favourite thing.

In conclusion, we had a great day doing gymnastics and hanging out with our friends.

Phillip Island Camp Reflection 1/2 W

We were so excited to go to Phillip Island for camp. There was so much fun to be had, and our highlights were the Penguin Parade, Amaze N Things and sandcastle building. The most challenging part of camp was sleeping, keeping our room tidy and finding our way out of the maze. Overall we felt excited, happy, and amazed about all the adventures we had at Phillip Island.

Here are some of Middle Ws haiku poems about camp:

Newham Health Day - By Tarquin and Emily

On Thursday the 6^th of November, the Grade 6s went to Newham Primary for the day, to learn about puberty. There was a nurse called Bronni who taught us and the Newham Primary Grade 5s and 6s. We learnt about mental and physical changes in our body. Stacy came with us too!

The Newham teachers made sure that we had enough time to take a break from the information we were learning. And a Newham vs Hesket soccer match provided the perfect brain break. The matchup of the century, between the two rival schools, ended with a devastating tie.

After lunch, Bronni left, so Newham’s French teacher, Madame Lee, ran a makeshift lesson on how to interact with new people. This was perfect, as lots of students from both schools were going to Kyneton High, and Sacred Heart. Having this awkward conversation, in the presence of another school, was a challenge, but by the end, lots of people had new faces to look out for at their high schools.

Banjo: “It was a little bit unnerving and awkward. I found it harder because the Newham kids were there.”

Tarquin: “It was a bit awkward, but by the end I got used to it. It wasn’t even that bad. I found it easier that the Newham kids were there.”

Emily: “I was a little mortified, but at least everyone was feeling the same thing. I found it harder that the Newham kids were there.”

Kyneton Show 

Students got their paper and pens out to write 'Stuck' stories and create colourful art for the Kyneton Show. Hesket P.S. entered stories into the writing competition, dioramas and Aussie works into the Visual Art display. The stories we all wrote were amazing stories about being 'Stuck'.

The outcome was: Adeline and Felix coming first, Banjo and Oscar H coming second, Hillary and Kieran coming third and Ayla and Caleb were Highly Commended. What an astounding effort! In the art display, so many people entered sensational art works from home as well as photos and Lego.

We congratulate everyone who entered the 2025 Kyneton Show. We all tried so hard and no matter what place we came all the kids at Hesket had fun.

Here is some of the feedback we received from one of the judges:

I wish to congratulate the school on the outstanding entries this year.

The hand writing is amazing, it is such a joy to see such beautiful writing as well as the content of the entries.

Such a vast number of entries across several different age groups.

Hesket Primary school has the most entries of all of the schools represented.

The ideas presented, the vocabulary and the variety of text used are testament to the efforts of the students and teachers.
