Welcome back to the last term of 2019.  This is a very busy term with many extra curricula activities occurring such as, Learn to Swim for classes P-6. The dates have been put on the school calendar accessed from our website.  https://glenhuonprimary.education.tas.edu.au/calendar.  We also have our Athletics Carnival  on 31st October.  Some of the longer races will be held prior to the carnival.  Your child will be in a house either Teal or Maroon.  Our carnival is about participation.  Participation points are given and can make a big difference to the outcome of the carnival.  We have a beautiful shield to be presented to the House with the most points.  Thanks to Dan Witts who donated the timber and is hanging the shields in our front office.    

Next week we have several exciting things happening.  On Tuesday morning the Hobart Hurricanes are coming to run our breakfast club. They offer this as part of their community work.  The Hurricanes Breakfast club is themed on the below areas:

• Go: Fuelling foods, carbohydrates to help power you through the day.
• Grow: Strength foods, protein to keep your body growing and your muscles strong.
• Glow: Eat a rainbow of fruit and veggies, to get vitamins and minerals to keep your immune system strong.

We will follow this up with a short daily fitness session.

On Wednesday we have the  Media Launch of the Disaster Resilience package happening at Glen Huon. The Minister for Emergency Services Mark Shelton will be present.  Our Grade 5-6 students have been trailing the package with Lesley King the  Project Officer for Disaster Resilient Schools which is part of the  Community Development and Education Unit of the Tas Fire Service.
