What a curve ball the weather threw us yesterday afternoon!
A HUGE thank you to all those who helped to clean up the enormous mess.
Unfortunately a large amount of our soft-fall pine bark from underneath play equipment was swept away as well as some damage to paths. We are asking students to stay off the play equipment until we have been able to get new soft-fall down and are in communication with Facility Services about how we can get this sorted as quickly as possible so that we can go back to safely enjoying our playground.
This coming Saturday 11th November is Remembrance Day. This is the date that marked the end of World War One. Remembrance Day is a time when we reflect upon the achievements of the men and women who not only fought during World War One but those who fought in other wars. We still have men and women in our defence force who are taking part in peace keeping missions and evacuations all around the world.
Maybe take some time to find out the significance of the poppies on our wreath?
Go along to one of the services if you can and as it is a time when our community gathers to share our history and reflect upon on a peaceful future.
A service will be held at the Huonville Cenotaph at 10:30am and families are invited to attend.
As part of this, a beautiful wreath made by the 2/3/4 class will be presented during the wreath laying ceremony and a number of our students will join students from other Huon schools to lead the singing of the National Anthem.
Lest We Forget.
Tomorrow is the Huon and Channel Athletics Carnival. If your child is participating, programs are available at the office.
Good luck to all students.

On Friday 3rd November, 17 students joined 12 other schools at the Kingston Hub for this year's Marimba Mania. All the students were well prepared and knew their parts well. On the day we had to bring the 8 marimbas, music stands, folders, mallets with us under the bus. With the rain pouring down, this made this somewhat difficult, however, all the girls were very efficient, and we managed to get everything on and off the bus and set up without a hitch.
There was a buzz in the air, all the schools setting up and getting ready, students practicing parts for the rehearsal, which is the first time as schools we would play together. Gerard Van Geer, who composed many of the pieces and is a well known musician, conducted the rehearsal. He made sure that the musical items ran smoothly, and everyone was clear on when to start and finish. The music sounded amazing and everyone was looking forward to the concert which was to be held for the public after lunch.
The students had a chance to play in the park during lunch, and were treated to a hot chocolate by our parent helper Reema Davis. Once all the parents and guests arrived the concert began. We played through 9 pieces of music, the crowd got involved many times clapping along to the music. Overall the girls performance was outstanding, I am really impressed on how they carried themselves through out the day. Thank you to all involved, it was a great success.
