With just over two weeks to go of this term we are currently planning for Term 3.  Next term we have a staffing change.  Mr Warman, who is our current acting AST, and is currently on long service leave has decided next term to head back to his substantive school for 3 days a week and stay with us for two days to continue to lead literacy in the school.  As a result of this we advertised for a new AST.  I am very pleased to welcome Jocasta Clark to our school who will begin next term.  As Jocasta settles in to this amazing place I am sure you will all make her feel very welcome.  We are still finalising her exact role but will add details as we finalise this.

Next week (and this week for Kinder) all families are invited to make a time to meet with their child’s teacher to discuss how they are going this year. They will also be given the midyear report.  We are encouraging your child to come with you so everyone can be a part of the conversation about their learning and progress.  If you have not yet made a time and are unsure how to do so please contact the School Office and they can help you out. 

There are lots of excursions happening in the next two weeks so please check into school regularly and look out for permission and information forms.

School photos have arrived and will be sent home with students at the end of the school day.  Please ensure you check your child's bag upon their arrival home.

There are still a few sets of photos yet to arrive and those parents will be informed individually.

If you have any questions or issues please contact the School Office on 6261 2091.

The SPSSA Division B Cross Country carnival was held on Wednesday June 4^th. We had 37 keen Cross Country runners represent Molesworth! It was such a great day full of amazing athleticism and support of each other within our team and of other schools.

Thank you to Mrs Binning and Mrs Bush who accompanied us and Mr Stock and Ms Johns for being our school officials. It was lovely for our students to see some familiar faces as they were racing!

And thank you to our school community who came out to cheer for our students!

From our Division B Cross Country Carnival, 5 students from Molesworth finished top 20 in their events and were selected to represent our school at the All Schools Cross Country Event held on Tuesday 17^th June. Congratulations Darcy, Henry, Elliot, Tess and Jacob. An outstanding achievement by these students.

I would like to pass on a massive thank you to our parents who took time from their own busy schedules to transport our students to their events all the way to Symmons Plains! Thank you, Mr Cross, Mrs Duncombe, Mr Gorton, Mrs Farrell, and Mrs Miller. We really appreciate you going above and beyond to support our athletes!!

This term in PE we have had multiple visits from Hockey Tasmania coaches, Maddy and Max. Both coaches play hockey and Maddy represents Tasmania! What an amazing experience for our students!

Despite the cold weather outside during this time of year, we had some great sessions with both coaches – thank you Maddy and Max!

We discussed the safety precautions you need to think about when playing hockey. We further developed our hockey skills and played some new activities and games!

Towards the end of this term, our Kinder and Prep/1 classes will be travelling to the Hockey Centre in New Town to have a look at the Hockey facilities out there and of course put our Hockey skills to the test and have some fun!
