Dear Families,
As the year draws to a close we certainly haven’t slowed down at Goulburn Street! Over the past two weeks we have had many wonderful events, performances and excursions. The annual DEC choir and band concert was held last Friday night with over 50 of our students taking part in the event. It was an amazing night of music and singing and I’d like to take this opportunity to thanks Mrs Cross for teaching our year 5/6 band this year and Mrs Jakins for teaching our choir. Mrs Cross will not be returning in 2020 and we thank her for her contribution to our school band program this year. Mrs Jakins after a long affiliation with our school will not be continuing our choir program in 2020 and we thank her for providing our students with such a wonderful opportunity.
The annul school’s triathlon was held last Friday at Bellerive Beach and unfortunately the weather was not kind, however, our students showed great persistence, perseverance and grit to finish the event in tough conditions. Thanks to Mrs Coe and Miss Walsh for supporting the students on the day.
At the end of the year we will be farewelling Miss Walch as she moves into a full-time position at another school. She has been an outstanding member of staff whose contribution to the school community will be sadly missed. We are also farewelling Peta Woodberry, who is retiring at the end of the year. Peta has worked in the Kindergarten at Goulburn Street for 9 years and her care and professionalism of our youngest students in the school will also be sadly missed by not only the staff but I am sure the whole Goulburn Street community.
We welcomed our 2020 Kindergarten students to our school with Orientation day on Wednesday and Thursday last week. It was great to see all the students with their parents getting familiar with the environment and making connections in preparation for starting Kinder next year.
Today we have two performances of our annual Year 6 Pantomime. The amount of work and effort that’s gone into this performance is a credit to the students and Mrs Tymms. As a new person in the school I cannot wait to see what the students have produced and look forward to seeing family and friends for the evening performance tonight at 7pm.
A reminder we have our final Community Assembly this Friday 13 December at 11:20 and our Year 6 Leaver’s Assembly next Wednesday 18 December at 1:40pm.
Finally, I want to thank all of you for being so welcoming of me in my first year as Principal of this great school. I am looking forward to leading this school into the future as we truly have a great team of staff, students and parents and friends to work with. I hope you all have a safe and happy Christmas and return refreshed and ready to go in February next year.

On Friday 18th October, students from 4/5 Coe Clifford were treated to a culinary experience at Tas TAFE Drysdale. Head Chefs Stephen and Michael talked to students about the importance of eating healthy foods and shared tales of their experiences of being chefs. Students were given the opportunity to ask questions and share ideas before being taken to a kitchen to do some cooking of their own.
Half of the class went to kitchen 1 with Chef Stephen and the other half went with Chef Michael into kitchen 2. In pairs, students were then taught how to cook French toast and the best ‘little chefs’ were awarded a gold, silver or bronze medallion to celebrate International Chefs Day.
Here are some pictures of our day.
Tasmanian Model Solar Car Championships
Unfortunately, with the weather as bad as it was, the races were more about which cars could travel the furthest, rather than which car had the quickest lap time. In most cases, the best performed cars were the heaviest cars which found a bit of momentum on the starting ramp and went further before stopping. The Goulburn Street cars, constructed from super lightweight materials such as carbon and balsa didn’t go as far and although we did taste success against some teams we were eliminated from finals.
Two weeks earlier students in 4/5 tested their solar cars on the official track at Collegiate Middle School on a sunny day. All four of our entries crashed because they were flying around the track so quickly that they literally bumped off the track and shot off along the basketball court.
The experience of competing in the championships was invaluable though. We managed to see a number of different car designs and materials being used in some extremely creative ways, which has already given students some ideas of what we can do differently next year.
Well done to students who constructed their cars as part of their STEM program and to parents who supported us along the way.
