Mobile Phone Muster
Do you have an old phone left-over from an upgrade? Do you have a drawer full of old phones and chargers and not know what to do with them?
Tutor group U5 in the Senior School is organising a mobile phone muster to recycle old phones and reuse the precious materials in them. There will be collection boxes in the office on every campus, and at Main Reception, for students and parents to drop them in to. The boxes will be there for the last two weeks of term - Monday 16 September through to Friday 27 September. Please help us to look after the environment by recycling these old devices rather than just digging up new resources.
For more information please contact Jeremy Rackham
Withdrawals for 2025
All families are reminded that if your child is not returning to Friends’ in 2025 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 this term (Term 3, 2024). 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 10am, closing about 11am, 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.

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.
