Principal's Report
Book Week
Book Week is a wonderful opportunity each year to share and promote a love of reading. Reading is a gateway to learning and allows students to build creativity while learning how to access information and become life long learners. One way this is celebrated is for students to dress up as a character from a book they have read. The costumes from students this year were fantastic, highlighting the broad range of books students are reading. Thank you to parents for supporting your child’s participation, and more importantly those that make the time to read with their child as often as they can. Well done everyone, you looked fantastic!
Art Exhibition
We are looking forward to the annual Boat Harbour Primary School Art Exhibition where the art skills of every student across our school will be on display. We are so very fortunate to be surrounded with staff that continue to foster a proud history in the Arts at our school, challenging themselves and students to be creative and access a variety of mediums. The Art Exhibition will be held in week 9 Term 3, starting on Monday 13th September and concluding on Saturday 18th September. During the week and on the Saturday, parents are welcome to visit and explore the art extravaganza. We request that when you visit that you check in with the Check in TAS App and follow COVID hygiene practices.
On Thursday, 16th September at 12:15pm after the school cross country, the official opening of the Exhibition will be held in the School Hall. This will be an opportunity to formally celebrate the creativity of each of our students, we hope you can join us!
