Athletics Carnival

The Boat Harbour Primary School Athletics Carnival is always a highlight on the school calendar – even when the timeline to hold the carnival is very short!  The North West Athletics carnival will be held next week, and as a result it was necessary for us to hold ours to select a team to represent our school.  Despite the cold weather we had a fantastic day, with families supporting students to participate and try their best.  Well done to everyone for demonstrating excellent sportsmanship and determination, with a fun day had by all. 

Those students that achieved highly at our carnival in Grade 3 – 6 will be selected to represent our school at the North West Carnival in Penguin next week.

Values

All students continuously discuss and strive towards achieving our school and Department goals of Respect, Aspiration, Growth and Courage.  We recognise that if these values are embedded in our students that they are likely to lead positive and successful lives.  Please take some time to chat about these values with your child, what hey mean, how we live them and why they are important.

Parent Satisfaction Survey

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.

MAT Grade 5/6 Maths Relay

On Sunday, 25^th September, Harry G, Ayla O, Charlotte W and Aiden E will be heading to Burnie High School to compete in the Grade 5/6 category in the Mathematical Association of Tasmania’s Annual Maths Relay. These students have demonstrated excellent teamwork, problem solving skills, and dedication to achieve their best in Mathematics. We wish them the best of luck in the competition.

This term in Kinder, we have been exploring our five senses. We have had so much fun learning about sight, hearing, smelling, touching, and of course- tasting! Some of our favourite activities were being guided around the playground blind folded, playing sound bingo, matching unknown smells, walking through paint, jumping on bubble wrap, and tasting different foods, although nobody will be rushing out to buy the bitter chocolate ? Through all of this play we learnt about the importance of each sense and how they help provide us with information about our environment.

Friday the 23^rd of September will be an Out of Uniform Day. Students are invited to come along in their favourite footy colours in celebration of the AFL Grand Final the next day. There is no charge to come out of uniform. The SRC will be selling a range of treats for recess ranging from 50c to $1.00.  The canteen will be selling pies, saveloys and sausage rolls for lunch. Due to these specials, the normal canteen menu will be unavailble. Orders can be placed via the Qkr app.
