Year 3-6 News Term 1, 2025

Dear Hawker Area School Community,

I know over the past few weeks I have met many of you around the school and around the community, however, I would like to formally introduce myself in this edition of our school newsletter.

First, a little bit about me. My name is Daniel Spick, and I will be the new 3-6 teacher for the 2025 year! The students already know me as Mr. S or Mr. Spick, for parents I am happy to go by Dan!

I am 33, sporty, well-travelled, and have always wanted to work with young people. I am genuinely very honoured for the opportunity to teach at Hawker Area School and will always do my best to put my best foot forward and help the students to learn, feel safe, and want to come to school!

To the entire school, particularly Mr. O’Neill, including all staff, parents, and the wider community, thank you for this opportunity. I am very keen for a positive year in the classroom, but also being involved around town, especially in the sporting landscape, so I am sure I will have plenty of opportunities to get to know everyone better.

I would also like parents to know that once my school email has been setup, I will be available for regular communication, also via school telephone outside of class contact hours. I will try to be diligent and punctual with my responses to any questions, concerns, or feedback you may have.

I believe success in the classroom comes from a wide support network and keeping everybody in the loop!

Again, thanks for making me feel so welcome to Hawker. Looking forward to a cracking year.

Kind Regards,

Mr Dan Spick

Year 3-6 Teacher
