School Council
School Council plays a key role in the operation of Hughesdale Primary School. Participating as a School Council member is a rewarding and challenging experience. Council supports the principal to provide the best possible educational outcomes for students.
Buddy Program
Creating connections within our community, and fostering a strong sense of belonging for all students is a core element of our wellbeing program at Hughesdale Primary School.
One way we foster this is by robustly using our Buddy Program for all students in Foundation/Prep and Year 6. This partnership is formed during transition sessions before students even commence the school year, and it facilitates important relationships with peers and student mentors from the very first day of school.
Extracurricular Activities
We are pleased to share with our community the range of extra-curricular programs we make available utilising external providers. We aim for our students to have access to and appreciate the positive effects of participating in extra-curricular activities and so remain dedicated to the provision of learning experiences that are of an exceptionally high quality.
