Dear Families,

Thank you to everyone who has already volunteered to assist at the State Cross Country event at Symmons Plains next week. We greatly appreciate your support!

However, we still need at least five more volunteers to ensure the event runs smoothly and safely for our students. Volunteers will be responsible for general supervision, guiding groups to the marshalling area before their race, waiting for them at the finish line, and escorting them back to the school tent.

Without these additional volunteers, we will be unable to provide bus transportation with school staff, and families will need to arrange their own transport for their children.

If you are available to help, please contact me on anne.reeves@decyp.tas.gov.au  as soon as possible. Your assistance will make a significant difference in ensuring our students have a successful and enjoyable experience.

Thank you for your support!

Regards

Anne Reeves

Principal

We are pleased to announce that we will be holding a whole school assembly on Thursday 3 July at 2:00pm. Families are invited to attend and see what learning has been happening this term. The band will play and the ECE choir are also going to perform.

Year 6 Camp Medications 

The camp medications can be brought into the office during business hours up to and including Tuesday 17 June (the week before camp).  

Medications need to be brought in by an adult who will sign a dosage form to be placed with the medicine. The medication will also be checked against the Forms A &/or B previously provided. Medications will need to be in blister packs and in original pharmacy boxes. Any queries, please email Mrs. Helen Rothwell.

Thank you to the families who have already provided their child’s medication.

This will be Wednesday 18 June at 1:50pm in the hall. Due to the varied activities in which the students have been participating the sharing will be a combination of a sharing style assembly and open classrooms. We will start in the hall where we will enjoy dance, guitar, drama and sport. Other activities; knitting, film-making, writing, perspective drawing and robotics will provide an outline of what they have been up to. After the sharing in the hall, families will then have the opportunity to go to the classrooms where these options were held and have a close look at students’ work. 

While the classes involved in options are 4/5A, 5A, 5B, 5/6A, 6A and 6B, parents of children from other classes are welcome to attend.  

Book club catalogue 4 has come home and is full of wonderful reads!

Place your order before 17th June.

Happy reading!

With reading being a priority at South Hobart Primary School we have decided as a school to complete the Premier's Reading Challenge this year.

Every year, thousands of schools across Tasmania participate in this challenge. The challenge encourages personal reading goals over 10 weeks, embracing diverse formats, including recommended books.

On Thursday 12 June the whole school will receive a reading log to write down the books they have read (see below). If you fill in your log and would like another, please see Mrs Corney or Miss McGruther.

The challenge starts on Monday 16 June and goes till 24 August.

Quiz Night

Our Annual Fundraising Quiz will take place on Saturday, 26 July, at the Ferntree Tavern from 6.30pm (arrival at 6pm for 6.30pm start) 

We are looking to raise funds for the South Hobart Primary Soccer teams.  The more money we raise the more money we can put to equipment, resources and development. 

This evening of fun and joy will not only be a space to raise money, it will present the opportunity for parents to get to know each other more.  With questions ranging from sea-ice to popular culture, we have a night of extraordinary fun waiting for you.

We are looking for parents and teachers to organise themselves into teams for the quiz. While it will not work in all instances, it would be good if quiz teams could form around our soccer teams.

As this evening has been organised to raise funds, we ask that each team (tables will be organised into tables for 8) pay $120 to enter the quiz, Those entering as individuals we ask for $20, and those who are unwaged we ask for a donation. 

Please make your payments referencing the team name to:

Account name: South Hobart Primary School School Soccer

BSB: 633000

Account Number: 154315949 

Registration link here: https://forms.gle/uiKC4d7ahtqrnNat8 or via face book: https://www.facebook.com/share/193g2MBWx3/

Please contact Bron Kimber on 0405237642 or bronkimber@gmail.com if you can commit to 1hr volunteer time before, during or after the event, or if you can join the organising committee, which would require roughly 5hrs of your time in the preceding 15 weeks before the event. We need at least 20 volunteers for this event to go ahead.
