Wearing Your Uniform with Pride

  • The long weekend is the perfect time to ensure your uniform is up to scratch. As mentioned in Assembly on Monday, headlice love the warmer weather, so it is essential your hair is tied up at all times. If you have incorrect uniform e.g. misplaced sandals please go to the Student Centre on arrival to school so we can either fix the issue or provide a uniform pass for the day. Akina coaches and classroom teachers will be checking your uniform on arrival to class.

Update from Finance

  • Some students have regular automatic payments to the school. As we now have very few fees many students have very high credit balances on their accounts. Please check whether your daughter's account has a high credit balance, (on the Kamar Portal under 'Financial' or from your school statement) and if so, please stop or reduce your automatic payments.
  • We have received payments in September and October into the school bank account which do not have any student names on them, so we do not know who they are for. Please ensure your daughter's name is on any payments, or email finance@hastingsgirls.com to let us know you have made a payment.

2021 Year 10 Subject Selection

  • All the current Y9 students need to choose their options for Year 10 2021 by Monday 2nd November. To do this they need to log into the Kamar Student Portal (in the same way that senior students did). Any questions, please see your Akina Coach.

2021 Student Leaders

  • Next week our 2021 Student Leader candidates for Head or Deputy Head Girl will be doing a short presentation at lunch time around leadership, and what they will be contributing to student life.  Keep an eye on the daily notices for more times and the venue.
