Dear Families

Welcome back to school for term 2. I hope everyone had a relaxing holiday.

Term 2 is an extremely busy term with Fire Education, Swimming and Water Safety Program (Year 3 – 5 and at-risk Year 6 swimmers), Three Way Conferences, open classrooms, school photos, Terrapin Puppet Theatre (Kinder – Year 2) and Year 6 camp. We are also going to manage a whole school assembly before the end of term! Please keep an eye on News and Notices (odd weeks of term) and Newsletters (even weeks of term) for more information.

Due to the success of the open classrooms last term, we will be offering another open classroom session later in the term – date and time to be announced soon.

Dates for Three Way Conferences (Years 1- 6) and Parent Meetings (Kinder and Prep) will be held in week 5 – Monday 26 – Friday 30 May. More information soon.

Regards

Anne Reeves

Principal

Our Launching into Learning sessions have resumed. 

LiL is for families with children aged birth to 4. Our play sessions are held in the indoor and outdoor Kindergarten spaces between 9.00 and 10.30 on Mondays, during the school term.

Launching into Learning provides opportunities to:

• Support your child’s development

We look forward to welcoming both new and returning families back to play, chat and learn together.

Hope to see you soon!

Kind regards

Players still required!

Futsal

SHPS Futsal teams were again out in force across the Hobart competitions in Term 1.  Lots of fun was had by all the players.  Futsal is a great sport for the children to participate in and the players improve their skills for Saturday soccer.

We have low numbers for:

• Two mixed / boys teams in the U10s, we would very much like to hear from any parent who would like their son to join our U10 teams. Contact  042716048 
• Kindy teams – any kindy parents hearing the noise of soccer and child might be leaning towards playing please let us know. Call Jon on 04394541281  
• any girls wanting to play, of course let us know

Adult Futsal

We have a team starting this Friday, so we particularly want to hear from our sisters – if you are keen or could be encouraged to play. Please get in touch. 

French Program is continuing at South Hobart Primary School in Term 2, starting Friday 2nd of May, every Friday 8am to 8.45am, in the Library room. Please enrol your child(ren) at your earliest convenience here. Places are limited.

The classes are designed to be fun, engaging, and effective through games, songs, and storytelling. They are delivered by a native French speaker, and focus on listening and speaking skills. This is a great opportunity not only to learn or improve your French but to build a strong foundation for any new language, and to grow curiosity and understanding of different cultures. 

To enrol your child(ren), please book online at www.funlearning.com.au. 

For any further information, you can contact Nina at info@funlearning.com.au.
