A very big thank-you to Bron Englert, Tanya Munro and Tania Steenholdt for the organisation of a very special NAIDOC week.  The culminating activity of the yarning circle in the bush was amazing.  We are very lucky to be able to work so closely together as a community.  Our children were extremely engaged and involved with the activities and learnt so much about aboriginal culture.

We held a very special assembly this morning for the planting of the tree.  It was a privilege to have Daryl and Laura Watson attend. The original tree was planted by Daryl's Great Aunt Millie Watson in 1912.  The school captains spoke about the history of the tree and some Grade 4-5 students shared their reflections in relation to the tree.  Every person on site then helped plant the tree by placing some dirt into the hole.  We hope the tree is enjoyed by generations to come as generations past have done.

Our Robotics team participated in the First Lego League regional competition and won the Motivate Award.  Congratulations to the team.

Well done to the Grade 3, 4 and 5 students who completed the Learn to Swim program over the last two weeks.  It is interesting to note that Swimming Australia were sharing their concerns in to the news today in regards to the lack of swimming instruction being undertaken in Australia.  Tasmania is very lucky to have this program supported by the Government.  We are an island state surrounded by water and many enjoy the water for recreational purposes. We look forward to the school supported water familiarisation course for the P-2's in a fortnight. 

We are gathering names of the people who wish to attend the Final Assembly on the 14th of Dec at Huonville Primary at 12.00. Please contact the office if you wish to attend.  

I have made inquiries as to the cake stall at the car boot sale.  Unfortunately we will not be able to proceed with the stall due to COVID restrictions.
