Road Safety and Parking
A reminder to all drivers, please do not park or stop and leave your car unattended over driveways, partially or fully in or around the campus, as it is illegal to do so and very inconvenient to our neighbours.
A reminder that for safety reasons, Boa Vista Road is a 40 km/h speed zone between 8am-9:30am and 2:30pm-4pm on School days. Please ensure you drive slowly in and around our campuses and be mindful of students crossing the roads.
Fee Statements
A reminder that the School Fee Statements were emailed to the nominated parent/guardian email account last week. Please check your spam or junk email folders to ensure you have received these statements.
If you have any queries, please don't hesitate to contact Financial Services at fees@friends.tas.edu.au

Children are always welcome and there is a Children’s Meeting held concurrently with the Meeting for Worship. They learn about Quaker values through a range of interesting and fun activities. Around 10.50am the children join the Meeting for Worship, settling into the gathered Meeting for the last 10 minutes, usually sitting with their parents.
