Dear Families,

As the school term ends, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our staff, students, parents, and friends of Goulburn Street Primary School for their hard work and dedication throughout Term 1.  

A special highlight this week was our first ever ‘Activities Afternoon’. Organised by our school leaders in collaboration with staff, this event gave students from all year levels the chance to connect, play games, and participate in a variety of activities together. We’re excited to expand this initiative in Term 2, with plans to hold it twice during the term and explore opportunities for community members to get involved, offering even more experiences for our students.

Finally, I wish you all a safe and enjoyable holiday break. I hope you find time to relax and enjoy quality time with your children, family, and friends. We will welcome back students to school on the first day of Term 2, Monday 28^th April.

Warm regards,

Michael

On Thursday 3^rd April, grade 6 students from Goulburn Street Primary enjoyed a taste of what it will be like to be a grade 7 student at Hobart City High School.  We spent the day on the Ogilvie campus and participated in a range of fun activities including Woodwork with Mr Clifford Jnr, Japanese with Sensei Jones, Drama with Ms Wilson and a combined game of soccer with other schools.

'It was a wonderful day and has really got us thinking about how exciting our high school journey’s will be.'

On Tuesday 8^th April, 5/6 Clifford moved their classroom to the Peacock Theatre for the day.  There, students worked with volunteers from The Story Island Project to explore story telling techniques.  We used magazine cut outs to create story collages, character and settings and then shared them amongst our friends.  It was a thought-provoking experience which challenged our creativity and teamwork and the skills we acquired during the workshop will help us to express ourselves more imaginatively.

On Tuesday 6^th May we will be holding our K-6 Cross Country Carnival at school. Cross Country is generally run in all conditions unless deemed unsafe.

We would love to see as many family members as possible here cheering on their children.  The viewing space for family will be along the brick wall on the oval. If you can help on the day we are after some volunteers to be stationed around the track.  Please contact the office if you can help for all or part of the carnival.
