From the Principal
What a wonderful feeling it is to have the majority of our students back at school! Schools just do not feel right without the sound and the feel of the amount of students that they are designed to have!
The ongoing resilience that we are seeing from students with the changes that have been required in terms of alternate drop off and pick up is fantastic! Thank you for your help in assisting children to be well-prepared & supported to follow all the current temporary measures to ensure that we can do our bit to keep Tasmania safe & well.
In response to some frequently asked questions from families, I have put together a document as a reference point for any wonderings or questions that you might have about our school and the arrangement relating to COVID-19. We are planning on attaching this to our website so that we can update it as things change. Hopefully this is helpful, but please continue to contact us with any other questions, wondering etc. that you may have.
Happy to be back with friends.....
Student Parliament
With most students now back at school, we have been able to complete the process for grade 3-6 selection of students for our Student Parliament Representives (SPR). Student Parliament representatives are elected by their class to bring their concerns, requests and feedback to the Parliamentary Meetings for consideration, verification and action. It is an expectation that student representatives follow and model the schoolwide behaviour expectations.
Badges will be presented to the group during an Microsoft Teams assembly next week. Given that we are unable to invite families to our assemblies at present, this will be recorded and placed on class CANVAS pages for families to watch at their convenience.

Children and Road Safety
Please remember to always use the official crossing when crossing the road...children learn by what they see adults doing so let's all model the safest way of getting across the road!
