PRINCIPAL'S REPORT
FROM OUR PRINCIPAL MRS LEANNE SMITH
Our final Newsletter for 2021.
What a busy year Molesworth students have had and yesterday was such a lovely day being a part of both the Kinder and Prep to 6 celebration assemblies. Thank you to all families who were able to make it to either celebration yesterday as I know the children love to see their families attending and watching their performances. A very big thank you to Mr Hay for the organisation and all the extra practises for our three very different and entertaining performances.
Yesterday was also time to celebrate our amazing Grade 6 leavers. Congratulations to all award recipients and thank you to all our sponsors who make these possible. We finished the assembly with the Grade 6 leavers song, which always brings with it a few tears, and not just from the Grade 6 students.
I would like to thank our Grade 6 students for their contribution to our school in the years they have been here and wish them all the very best for the next stage in their learning. I know each and everyone of them will take on all that High School offers with an open mind and a positive outlook ready to continue their learning. Tomorrow we have our special morning tea and graduation ceremony for the Grade 6 students and their invited guests at 11:30 am in the hall. I suspect there might be a few more tears then.
COLOUR RUN:
As a celebration for the whole school we are running the colour run again this year from 1:30 pm. Parents are welcome to come and watch from the edge of the oval but please do not come down on to the oval where the children are and the obstacle course is. A friendly reminder to parents wanting to take photos please do not take photos of other students and post to social media without their parents’ permission.
END OF YEAR REPORTS:
This morning all students visited their classes for 2022. This afternoon you will receive your child’s report and in with it is a note about which class they are in, who their teacher is and something they are looking forward to in 2022. It was such a pleasure reading each student’s report and I am sure all parents will be very proud of their child’s achievements.
STAFFING AND CLASSES FOR 2022:
Next year we have a Kinder/ Prep with Mrs McCausland, Prep/1 with Miss Jeffery, 2/3 with Miss Jacobson, 3/4 with Mr Hay, 4/5 with Mrs Young and Mrs Moores and 5/6 with Mrs Rime.

Yesterday we farewelled our staff that are moving on to the next stage in their career. Mrs Wiseman is off to Bellerive Primary, Ms Fearn is going to Friends and Mrs Hills is off to New Norfolk High. We wish them all the very best and will miss having them as part of our school. For next year we welcome Mrs Anita Button, who is our new AST, Quality Teaching Coach, and will also be on Prep (Kinder/Prep) on Monday and Friday and Grade 3/4 the day Mr Hay does Music. Mrs Button is looking forward to coming here next year and I know everyone will make her feel very welcome.
I would like to thank all our community of another great year and wish everyone a safe and relaxing holiday. Enjoy your families and we will see everyone back on the 9th February 2022. For enquiries or uniform purchases our Office Staff will be back on deck on 25th January.
