Dear Families,

Our Grade 6 students are at camp this week at Blue Lagoon in Dodges Ferry. All is going well so far and students are having a great time with their peers participating in a number of activities and experiences. A highlight for the group was visiting the historic site of Port Arthur. Our teachers are also busy this week completing reports and putting together evidences of learning to send home to families.

We do have a few activities happening next week including:

Tuesday 1^st July - Open Classrooms

Thursday 3^rd July - Whole School Assembly, Reports go home

Friday 4^th July - School Disco and Free Dress Day

Regards,

Rebecca Jubb

Acting Principal

A reminder to students involved in the Festival of Voices Young Tasmania Sings concert, we have our two big rehearsals and concert next week. On Monday the bus will be leaving the school at 9:15am going to the Stanley Burbury Theatre and returning to school at about 2:30pm. Students will need to bring a drink bottle and their lunch and be in full school uniform. On Wednesday we do it all again with the same requirements, but we will be heading to City Hall for our practice before the concert on Wednesday night. On Wednesday evening the City Hall doors will be open at 6:15pm and as students arrive, they will go directly to their place on the stage. All students will need to be in position by 6:45pm for a prompt start at 7:00pm. Our students have worked hard for this event, and I look forward to seeing them perform on the night.

After the success of our first Open Classrooms last term, we will be holding another Open Classroom in the last week of Term 2 on Tuesday, 1 July. Your child/rens classrooms will open for you to drop in and have a close up look at their learning. 

The classrooms will be open between 2:00pm and 3:00pm.

Hi we are looking for volunteers to help out with Grade 6 Winter sport next term.

We are looking for help with Football and Netball. A knowledge of the sport would be great but it is not required.

Games are on each Wednesday from 1pm to 2.30pm. We play 8 games in term 3 with byes on the 27/8 and the 3/9.

Please email Mark Nichols if you are able to help out.

You will need you WWVP card and have watched the safeguarding video.

It's back!!

SoHo on Stage returns on Saturday 15th November to showcase some of the amazing talent oozing from the students at our school! Encourage your kids to dust off their tap shoes and harmonicas, or get their friends together to rehearse a magic act, comedy skit, play, dance or whatever skills they have to display!  Please mark this date in your diary, and keep an eye on the newsletter in Term 3 for ticket sales and performer expression of interest forms.

We have a great organising committee for this event, but would love a few more helpers to join our crew to ensure the planning for this large event runs smoothly.  Please email sohoonstage@gmail.com if you are keen.

It's a lot of fun! 

Thanks!

Clare Wiltshire & Anna Wittery (Event Co-ordinators)
