Gymnastics - Year 7
As part of double Health lessons, Year 7 students will attend Eastside Activity Centre for 4 weeks, beginning next Tuesday 8 September, until end of term.
Students will focus on trampolining and gymnastics to enhance strength, coordination and balance using specialist equipment and fun activities.
Students will be transported by bus and supervised by school Sports staff. They will be coached by accredited coaches at the centre. Students with a Tuesday morning double Health lesson, need to arrive on time to ensure they are ready to leave on the bus.
Students should be wearing their Sports uniform and have a drink bottle and a school jacket or jumper for cold weather.
LIGHTS! CAMERA! PANTO!
On Wednesday 16 September from 6.00pm-7:30pm, each House will go head to head to compete for the Middle School House Pantomime shield. Performing Pixar favourites with a Friends’ School twist, the evening promises to be a night of entertainment and colourful fun!
Students in the cast and crew will stay after school on Wednesday 16 September to rehearse and make any last minute adjustments. Staff will be at School to supervise their rehearsals and we recommend that students bring additional food to have a snack after school. Paperly permissions for students involved have been sent home this week.
Student audience members will not be able to be supervised between 3:30pm-6.00pm. They will be dismissed from school as normal and return for the show.
Tickets are available for $5 each via TryBooking, with all proceeds being donated to Hobart City Mission’s Safe Sleep Space. The Student Voice Council is aiming to raise enough to purchase a chest freezer for the shelter, and every ticket will help them get closer to their target!
