Welcome Back to Term 4!

Welcome back to what promises to be an exciting Term 4 at Herdsmans Cove Primary School! It’s hard to believe how quickly the year has flown by — it feels like only yesterday we were welcoming students back in Term 1, and now we’re heading into the final stretch of 2025.

Celebrating Student Success

A huge congratulations to Jett Harris, Kyden Emery, and Shayla Stevens, who recently travelled to Brisbane to represent Tasmania in the Schools Futsal Championships. What an incredible opportunity and achievement! We are especially proud to share that Shayla has now been selected to represent Australia in China — an amazing accomplishment and a testament to her dedication and talent. Well done, Shayla!

Exciting Developments Around the School

Term 4 is always a busy one, and this year is no exception. We’re thrilled to announce that the 24C Garden Area at the front of the school will be undergoing a major redevelopment this term. Alongside this, our new playground will also be installed — a fantastic addition for our students to enjoy.

Please note that these works will cause some temporary disruptions to the front of the school and the carpark. To help ease congestion, staff will be using the netball court for parking during this period. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve our school environment.

Bike Track Update

Unfortunately, due to wet conditions over the holidays, we were unable to begin work on the bike track as planned. However, we’re pleased to let you know that the new start date is scheduled for 10th November. Fingers crossed for some dry weather!

The Herdy Way – Focus for the Fortnight

Our school-wide focus for the next two weeks is:

“First Time, Every Time.”

We’re encouraging all students to follow instructions the first time they are given, helping to create a calm, respectful, and productive learning environment for everyone.

We’re looking forward to a fantastic final term of the year, filled with learning, growth, and celebration. Thank you for your continued support — let’s make these last 9 weeks of 2025 our best yet!

Warm regards,

Tobin McColl

Principal – Herdsmans Cove Primary School
