Principal’s Report
Book Week Parade
One of the most anticipated events of the year has finally landed and didn’t disappoint. The school was filled with excitement on Tuesday as many students (and staff) dressed in their favourite book character costume to celebrate Book Week.
Many thanks to Mrs Tahlia Ross and Student Leaders for their organisation of this special event. The Book Parade down Weld St was well received, and it was a delight to visit local business who spent time reading a book to our classes. Students and families enjoyed a BBQ on return to conclude the event.
Thank you to the following business/organisations who supported our students:
- Beaconsfield Post Office
- West Tamar Alliance Pharmacy
- The Exchange Hotel
- Beaconsfield Jubilee Bakery
- Beaconsfield Neighbourhood House
- The Beaconsfield School Association
- Steve and Chester the Dog
- West Tamar Lions Club
