Thanks to the amazing Miss Gourlay and all the grants she has applied for we have such a lot of fantastic resources for PE.  There is always plenty of school equipment for children to use at recess and lunch.  Children do not need to bring any equipment from home as this can cause issues in rules of the games. If students have any issues with equipment, please have a chat with Miss Gourlay.

On Tuesday 23^rd August, southern schools across Tasmanian participated in the SPSSA Winter Carnival for 2022! There were 5 sports on offer: AFL, AFLW, hockey, netball and tennis! Unfortunately, due to the weather and ground closures, soccer was cancelled.

In the lead up to the Winter Carnival day, Grade 5/6 students had to be nominated for a sport by their schools and attend trials. If successful at the trials, they would make the team for their region and attended training/s at other schools. Our region is made up of a total of 14 schools. 10 of our Molesworth students were chosen to represent our region at netball, AFL and soccer.  A very incredible achievement! To those that went to trials and were not selected, we wish you all the best next year!

Our representatives were:
Netball – Myler, Kyeshia, Addiison and Palasa.
AFL – James and Nataniel.
Soccer – Ellis, Laurie, Mitchell.

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

Your link to the survey was sent out on Monday.  All families in this school received the same survey link and no identifying information is collected.   

A summary of the survey results will be provided to schools.  Responses from individual or small groups will NOT be disclosed to any Department of Education staff.

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

The survey is now open and closes Friday 23 September 2022 and takes about 5 minutes to complete.

There will be a slight delay with our Grade 6 Leavers Tops due to supplier issues.  They will be arriving in Term 4.

Health & Physical Education (HPE) Day is a nationwide initiative that highlights the importance of HPE and its influence on the learning and development of children.

Whether you’re a parent, caregiver or teacher - everyone has a role to play in helping young people take a step towards leading healthier and happier lives!

This year National HPE Day is on Wednesday 7^th September. Next week, our students will be celebrating this day by coming together and engaging in some new sports and activities. We will all have some fun while being active!
