Principal’s Report

Welcome to Term 3!

We’re excited to welcome all our students and families back for Term 3. We hope you had a restful break and are ready for another term of learning, growth, and fun. There’s lots to look forward to this term – let’s make it a great one!

You may have noticed some exciting improvements in the courtyard outside the Year 3/4 classrooms! Recent works have refreshed the space, with further seating to be installed in the coming weeks. A garden facelift is also planned to create a more inviting and functional area for students to enjoy during break times and outdoor learning.

Uniform Reminder

As we begin Term 3, we’d like to remind students and families of our uniform expectations. Full school uniform is to be worn each day, including appropriate footwear – hoodies and other non-uniform items should not be worn to school. If you require support getting correct uniform, please speak to your child’s class teacher in the first instance. A copy of our dress code is available on our website. Jewellery should be minimal—small stud or sleeper earrings only—and fingernails should be kept short for safety. Thank you for helping us maintain a neat and safe learning environment.

External School Review

Dear Families

As part of our focus on continuous school improvement, we will be involved in an External School Review this year. The purpose of External School Reviews is to support schools to raise achievement, sustain high performance and provide quality assurance to build public confidence in government schools.

All Tasmanian Government Schools will be externally reviewed every four years. The focus of the Review is to evaluate school performance. The Review Team consists of an External School Review Leader and trained Principal Peer Reviewers. The review will occur from 11 to 13 August 2025.

We will find out the effective school practices that have been verified through the Review processes as well as the improvements that we need to make in the future.

During the External School Review some students, families, School Association members and staff will be asked to provide information to the Review Team in a number of ways. These include:

• individual interviews (can include family phone calls)
• group discussions (with students or staff or families)
• meetings (usually School Association, staff meeting)
• visits into classrooms.

We appreciate your support and time in helping us with this External School Review process. Please contact the office if you do not want your child to participate. If you would like more information, please contact Daisy Stephens via the school office.

BusSafe Program

A big thank you to Manion's Coaches for delivering the BusSafe Program to our students over the past two weeks. It’s been an engaging and interactive experience that our students have thoroughly enjoyed. Special thanks to Ash, Lisa, and Luke for sharing such important safety information in a fun and meaningful way!

Country Gold Trials – Year 5/6

Congratulations to selected Year 5/6 students who will be representing Beaconsfield Primary at the Country Gold Trials on Thursday 7 August at South George Town Primary School. Students will travel with Beaconsfield staff to and from the event. We’re proud of their achievement and wish them all the best for the trials!

Premier’s Reading Challenge

Reading is an ongoing priority at Beaconsfield Primary School as well as across the whole of Tasmania.  The Premier’s Reading Challenge, encourages students to engage in personal reading goals over 10 weeks, embracing diverse reading materials and experiencing a range of literature. Please keep encouraging your child to read and record their books – there are some great prizes up for grabs!

Book Week Parade: Tuesday 19 August 2024

Students are encouraged to dress up as their favourite book character for 2025 Book Week.

Beginning at 11.40 in the School Hall, followed by a Parade through Weld St. Students will depart from the Hall at approximately 12pm, returning in time for lunch.

Classes will be visiting local businesses to listen to a story before returning to school for a free sausage sizzle (1 x sausage per person). Additional information will be sent home regarding the BBQ.

Families are welcome. We hope to see you there.
