Education Week 2014 marks the 60th anniversary of the first Education Week held in 1954. Education Week is held each year in public schools across the state. Activities and events showcase and highlight the quality and diversity of education in our schools. Hay Public School held their first Ready Set Kinder, preparing students for full time Kindergarten next year, and invited parents, grandparents and friends to visit students classrooms. A concert and art display were held in the school hall to showcase students work. A special visitor to Hay War Memorial High School, Aunty Mary Hooker, told students a powerful story of overcoming adversity and the Hay High Ten was run. This years top place getters are: 1st. Corey Poole – 45.13, 2nd. Toby Crighton – 47.19 and 3rd. Zac Fitzpatrick – 48.11 Dressed up ready for the concert in the school hall. A special treat prepared by Mrs. Lilburne for the first Ready Set Kinder day 2014. Teddy bears accompanied first day students, and fun and games under the parachute. Children’s work was on display in classrooms. Scary faces in year six for a concert performance. 12
