Current principal's feedback

If your child auditions successfully and accepts our offer to enrol at HSPA, we will contact their current school Principal for an outline of their achievement across the curriculum, literacy and numeracy profile and their attitude, commitment and behaviour in all areas of school life. We will also request information about their social development and any Learning Support Needs to assist us in planning for their transition and catering for individual needs.
