FROM OUR PRINCIPAL MRS LEANNE SMITH
A huge thank you to all our parents and extended family members that attended our Presentation Assembly yesterday. It was wonderful to share the class items and prize winners with such a supportive and appreciative audience. Congratulations to all Grade 6 graduates on a fantastic celebration of your Primary School Years and all the best for High School. Enjoy all that it has to offer and I know all the learning gained here at Molesworth has prepared you for a positive productive next step.
Change is one certainty in life and in 2020 we will see some changes at Molesworth Primary. During the year we will have our 3 new learning spaces built ready for 2021 and access within the school will be made far more accessible for all with ramps and rails. We will also see the water tanks replaced and moved to give us the maximum use of collected water and appropriate sized tank for fire support.
There are a few changes in staffing for 2020. Mrs Bush, after 40 years of dedicated teaching service within the DoE finishing with the past 4 years here has decided it’s time to relax and follow the next stage in her life. All at Molesworth wish her all the best and thank her for all the amazing learning opportunities she has offered to our Grade 4/5s as well as her positive, friendly, kind, caring, helpful personality she has bought to us every single day. Molesworth will miss her and so will I.
Mrs Felicity Toogood, who has lead our wonderful music program for the past 2 years, is moving closer to home and has accepted a teaching position at Dunalley, they are very lucky to have her. All the best Felicity. Mr Hay will be taking over the music program and I know with his experience and skills music will continue to be a wonderful learning experience for all our students.
This morning all the Kinder to Grade 5 students visited their new rooms and were introduced to their new teachers for 2020. All students have been given a note to share with you about their new class. We welcome Miss Georgia Gowing who will on our Grade 4/5 class.
I would like to wish everyone a very relaxing and safe summer break.

WHOLE SCHOOL ATHLETICS CARNIVAL
On Thursday 5 December, we held our Kinder to Year 6 Athletics Carnival. The afternoon started off fantastically with our sprint races, followed by our sack races and then the lower primary’s chicken throw and upper primary’s obstacle course. Unfortunately half way through these events the heavens opened and it just absolutely poured down so we had to stop the carnival! The following week on Monday 9 December, we finished all of the events in our PE sessions.
Well done to all our students who participated in our carnival. It was great to see so many of our students having a go and supporting their peers, which is what PE is all about!
We would like to say a massive thank you again to the parents and carers who came to support our students in the wet conditions, the New Norfolk High School student sport leaders and prefects who assisted us on the day with the events and the pack up and to the Year 6 students who assisted in the setup up.
