Middle School
Halloween Free Dress
Friday 31 October
The Middle School Student Service Committee is hosting a Halloween Dress-Up Day on the Middle Campus on Friday 31 October to raise funds for the Hobart Women’s Shelter Build a Brick Campaign.
Students can bring a gold coin donation and come dressed in their best Halloween costume!
Funds raised will support the construction of new homes for women and children in desperate need of safe accommodation.
Hobart City Mission Middle School Donation Drive
From Weeks 3 - 6, the Student Voice Council is running a Donation Drive for the Hobart City Mission. Inspired by our visit to their Safe Sleep Space, we wanted to make a difference to support those who help our community’s most vulnerable people. We usually see which House can bring along the most items; this time, we are going to see which KEY CLASS can donate the most goods!
The most needed items that are required include:
- Coffee
- Sugar
- Powdered/long life Milk
- Breakfast spreads
- Cereals
- New Thermals
- New Underwear
- New towels
- Pet food
- Travel size toiletries
- Feminine Hygiene products
- Non perishable food items
We will collect items until the end of Week 6. Items can be given to your Key Teacher. Which Key Class will donate the most items?!
Year 8 Gymnastics in Term 4
From Tuesday 28 October
From Tuesday 28 October, Year 8 students will attend Kingborough Sports Centre during their double PE lesson.
An email has been sent to families at the start of Term 4, advising of the dates for each key class.
We ask that students in Preston and Tuke arrive at school on time on a Tuesday as classes will depart after attendance is taken at 8.35am. Please contact the Middle School Office if you are running late.
Students should pack any required medication and will need a drink bottle and warm clothes.
Absentees
If your child will be absent from school for the day please advise the Middle School Office (phone: 6210 2235, or email: middleschooloffice@friends.tas.edu.au). We appreciate your support in this process.
