We regularly review and update school policies. Many policies are distributed to new HPS families. We would particularly draw your attention to our newly created Social Media Policy which can be found in the Parent Section of the school website.
Harvest Assembly
The Assembly Hall was packed with children and staff for our Harvest Assembly.
Enjoy watching some clips from the morning here.
HARVEST APPEAL 2015
This year we would like to help Blythswood Care which transports gifts to European countries.
Our two areas for PDMU in school for September and October are ‘respect’ and ‘sharing’. We also talk about healthy eating and keeping ourselves healthy.
We would ask that all the children help to share ‘our wealth’ by bringing in either a toothbrush and toothpaste or a face cloth and a bar of soap. These will be packed and sent to children who have very little to call their own. 
Please send in your items by
Thursday 8th October. Thank you.
New iPads in use.
We are delighted with our new ipads. Many boys and girls have been using the ipads in class to enhance their learning.
Enjoy looking on our class pages throughout the year where we will be showcasing creative work completed by the children with just a little help from their teachers and classroom assistants.

****WOW**** What a Final P7 Assembly by the Classes of 2015
Parents of our P7 pupils joined us at the Final Assembly for their children at Holywood Primary School. This special event gave the boys and girls the opportunity to share memories of their time at Primary School. Everyone was treated to a great rendition of music, dance, poetry, movie clips and favourite memories HPS. This was one of the highlights of the year for all pupils and staff and was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! After the presentation of each child’s Record of Achievement, the P7 pupils and parents stayed for a BBQ. This allowed families to enjoy a special time together before the boys and girls left us. Thanks P7 for the memories! Have a lovely summer!
