Term 2, Week 5

In this edition of the Headmaster’s Newsletter Message we hear from our new Head of Junior Campus, Sheona Carter, and also about the upcoming Autumn Concert and Walkathon fundraising efforts of our Grade 12.

This week we have hosted a number of events to welcome our new Head of Junior Campus, Sheona Carter. Her deep knowledge of the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme will be a wonderful support to our team of staff as they provide our students with excellent education and opportunities.

We will be hosting 3 games of football tomorrow, Saturday 22 May at the Senior Campus against Scotch Oakburn.

10:30 am Boys Seconds

12:30 pm Girls Firsts

2:00 pm Boys Firsts

It would be great to have a lot of support at our ground throughout the day and we look forward to seeing you.

Over $1500 has been raised as part of an Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea event organised by Grade 6 students Shaneli, Kathryn and Lydia. Funds raised from the baked goods stall will be provided to Cancer Council Tasmania for cancer research programs.

Grade 6 teacher, Helen Wilson said we are extremely proud of the girls’ innovation and generosity of spirit.

“As we know, cancer touches so many lives in Tasmania, including many families at Launceston Grammar.”

Well done to the girls for their initiative in contacting local bakeries for donations to sell and thank you to the Junior Campus for your support today.

Congratulations to Sophie Lamb, who has been selected as Winner of the 2021 Simpson Prize Competition for Tasmania and Oscar Tiernan, who has been selected as Runner-up. Open to all Grade 9 and 10 students in Australia, the submission-based competition focuses on the legacy of ANZAC.

The Simpson Prize Competition Winners from each state and territory will participate in a three-day visit to Canberra in July for a presentation ceremony and extraordinary tours of Parliament House, The Australian War Memorial, National Archives, and other national institutions.
