“It is an incredible opportunity each week for HRHS to celebrate our students who continue to embody our core values of Harmony, Respect, Honesty, and Success.

“Week six at Hunter River High School has been very busy, with our celebrations for Wear It Purple, CAPA Showcase Concert, Write a Book in a Day challenge, Year 12 fundraiser for neuroblastoma, and Book Week celebrations.

“This week celebrates our PBL value of ‘honesty’, which is the focus of a formal assembly where students from each year level are recognised by our faculties for consistently demonstrating honesty at our school,” she said.
