Echoes Yearbook
This year, the Echoes yearbook will incorporate a full year of activities and achievements, with distribution occurring in Term 1, 2027.
We're reviewing how many printed copies of Echoes families receive and exploring whether families would prefer to receive one copy per family rather than one copy for each student. As we also consider our environmental footprint, the Community Engagement Office is keen to hear your feedback via this anonymous one-question survey.
Please complete the survey form here.
Withdrawals for 2027
We would like to remind all families that if your child is not returning to Friends’ in 2027 the procedure to withdraw a student is to provide one term’s notice in writing, via letter or email addressed to the Principal Esther Hill.
Therefore, notice is due by the final day of Term 3, 2026. If notification is received after this day, one term's fees in lieu of the notice period will be applied.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact the Enrolments Office on 6210 2286 or via enrol.office@friends.tas.edu.au to discuss.
Quaker Meetings for Worship
All members of The Friends’ School community are welcome to attend our Meeting for Worship any Sunday from 10.00am, closing about 11.00am, with morning tea available afterwards.
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.
If you have any enquiries about the Children’s meeting please email the Clerk, Margaret Bywater.
Thursday Morning Meeting for Worship
Members of The Friends' School community are welcome to attend a short Meeting for Worship held each Thursday morning during term time, starting at 7.40am. Just come quietly in when you can and join us until 8.20am in the Hobart Quaker Meeting House, which is located just below the Middle School Office on Boa Vista Road.
