Parent Satisfaction Surveys

Every year the Department of Education conducts School Satisfaction Surveys to find out what your child(ren)'s school does well and where it may improve.

We would be grateful if you completed our online survey about Boat Harbour Primary School. Your feedback is very important to help us inform our school planning and decision-making.

The survey is now open and will close on Friday 23 September 2022 and should take about 5 minutes to complete.

Congratulations Harry!

Congratulations to Harry Gatenby who represented Tasmania and competed at the Australian Cross Country Champs in Adelaide over the weekend. Being selected for this team is an outstanding achievement and a testament to his dedication and commitment. Harry came 2^nd for Tasmania and 27^th nationally in the individual under 11 boys 3 kilometre event at Oakbank Racecourse. He also participated in the 5 x 1500m relays with the Tasmanian State Reps and finished in 5th place. We are extremely proud of Harry’s achievements and commend him on always displaying our school value of aspiration and striving for excellence.

A few weeks ago, both Prep-1 classes had a special day to celebrate being at school for 100 days. We had lots of activities about the number 100 including a number hunt to find numbers 1-100, trying to write our names 100 times and making a collage of what we might look like when we are 100 years old. We also had challenges to count or build with 100 items.

There were 10 balloons up on the whiteboard and each balloon had a set of 10 exercises in it. We popped these balloons throughout the day, so we had done 100 exercises by the end of the day. We also had a photo booth area with dress ups and props which we posed with for some photos.

We had some hot chips as a snack and watched a short movie with some popcorn in the afternoon before we had a dance to finish off the day.

We then met Adam and Ari from SeaFM and also met Ren-Ren, also known as ‘Love love love’. Ari even gave us high fives! We then went into a bunch of shops asking for freebies, then it was lunchtime. Some of use bought lunch and some had a packed lunch.

After lunch we went to the Optus bullseye area. If you hit the bullseye, you’d get a drink bottle and bubbles. On the way home we stopped for a toilet break and got back to school at 5:30pm. It was a great day!

Last weekend, I was privileged to be part of the Tasmanian team that competed at the Australian Cross Country Championships in Adelaide, SA. It was the first time they’ve been held in 3 years because of COVID.

There were 6 Tasmanians selected in each age group from 10-19 years. I knew some of them already through running, but we became such good friends in the team environment, representing our state.

My individual 3-kilometre race for the 11-year-old boys was the first event at the very muddy Oakbank Racecourse in the Adelaide Hills on Saturday. There were 6 states and one territory represented. I came 27^th out of the 42 competitors and was 2^nd for Tasmania.

This made me to first-leg runner for Tasmania for the 5 x 1500m relays on the Monday in West Beach, Adelaide. I loved being in the team event with my new friends. We all did our best and came 5^th. It was the most amazing experience and made the hard work of training all worth it.
