Student Leader’s Conference

I had the absolute pleasure of accompanying our school and house captains, Luca, Keira, Eamon and Scarlett to the Student Leader’s Conference last Wednesday. Beginning with a guest speaker who talked about the important things that make a good leader, students then moved into a series of workshops. The workshops focused on team building skills, leadership styles and event planning. It was a fantastic opportunity for our school and house captains to build connections with student leaders from all across southern Tasmania and they represented our school extremely well.

The School Association AGM was held on Wednesday 3^rd March. Congratulations go to the following position holders:

Chairperson: Kobi Goodwin

Vice Chairperson: Meredith Wilson

Secretary: Megan Perkins

Treasurer: Laura Corbett

Thank you to Maureen Fromholtz who has retired from the committee and from the role of Treasurer after many, many years of service to our school. You have made a huge and incredibly valuable contribution to our school and we wish you all the very best for the future.

Thank you also Lyn Bender who has been attending meetings and providing beautifully presented school financial statements to the School Association for a great, great many years; in fact since the establishment of our Association in the early 1990s. As these financial reports are able to be delivered by the Principal, Lyn has decided to also step down from the School Association committee. Thank you Lyn, for your incredible service and dedication to our school.

Swimming Carnival

Whilst the wind gusted around our ears, nothing could dampen the spirits and enthusiasm of our students last Thursday when we held our annual Swimming Carnival. It was wonderful to see everyone having a go, encouraging each other and cheering for each other.

A particularly large thank you to Mr West for all the work which went into organising the carnival and also to all the staff which helped out with various roles on the day. Thank you to the families who came along to support us on the day and also a big thank you to the Parents and Friends for the delicious BBQ lunch.

The Huon and Channel Swimming Carnival will be held on Tuesday 16^th March. More information about this will be sent home soon with students who have been successfully selected to compete.

Late Bus Jokes

The Late Bus Jokes have been continuing. When I filled in for Mrs McKay last year, as a farewell gift I received a pack of Knock Knock jokes an so students have been helping me to say some of these when it is time to get on the late bus.
