🔑 HIP Keys - Care for Others

This fortnight, I have been keeping an eye out for students who are actively demonstrating the HIP Key Care for Others. At our recent VAPS Showcase, students showed the HIP Key Care for others by supporting their peers and celebrating each other’s achievements. Whether performing, presenting, or helping behind the scenes, students encouraged one another and demonstrated the value of kindness and teamwork in action.

🎭 Showcase Highlights

This week, students demonstrated their creativity and talent through inspiring performances at the VAPS Showcase. From the stage to behind the scenes, their hard work and passion were clear to see and it was a joy to watch them share their gifts with the community. The highlight of my week was seeing our students perform at the Opera House on Monday night - a truly special experience and a celebration of their dedication and creativity.

🌞 I wish the entire VAPS community a safe and happy holiday break.
