Welcome to Term 3!

We’re excited to be back for another busy and enriching term! Last term, our Year 5 students took a deep dive into Australia’s past through our HASS unit, exploring life in the 1800s. Highlights included a walking tour of Hobart, where we examined colonial architecture and convict-era monuments, as well as a thought-provoking visit to TMAG, where we explored First Nations Aboriginal culture and histories. We also enjoyed a scenic excursion to kunanyi / Mount Wellington, walking alongside the Organ Pipes and connecting with the natural beauty of our local landscape. In sport, students participated in a round robin football and netball day to prepare for our Term 3 interschool roster, which kicks off each Friday this term. A major highlight will be our upcoming Year 5 Camp to Orana, Roches Beach from August 25–27, where students will explore the South Arm and Opossum Bay area and take part in outdoor activities and team-building challenges. We’re also looking forward to more excursions later in the term, including a walk along the Truganini Track and potential High School taster days. In the classroom, students will dive into the finer elements of creative writing, with a strong focus on grammatical conventions and sentence construction. We’re also excited to launch our gymnastics program across the first few weeks of term – a fantastic opportunity to build strength, flexibility and confidence. Here's to a fun-filled and memorable Term 3!
