As we approach the end of the year, I want to take a moment to share an important update and celebration from our school community. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Julie Morice and Coral Crossin for their incredible contributions to East Devonport Primary School. Both will be transferring to new roles next year, and while we will miss them dearly, we wish them every success in their future endeavours.
Our Grade Five and Six students recently participated in camp, where they enjoyed three days of adventure, teamwork, and fun. This experience was a wonderful way to celebrate their final years of primary school and build lasting memories. A huge thank you to the staff who supported this event and to the parents for their assistance - it was a fantastic success because of your efforts.
We are also proud to share that five of our students represented East Devonport Primary School in Launceston at a chess event. This was a fantastic opportunity for them to showcase their skills and enjoy healthy competition. Chess continues to grow in popularity among our students, and we look forward to expanding this program further.
Attendance remains a key focus for us. Every day at school matters, and we appreciate the efforts families make to ensure students are here, ready to learn. If your child is absent, please remember to notify the office promptly so we can keep our records up to date.
Thank you for your ongoing support as we work together to provide the best opportunities for our students.

On Monday 27 October, five of our talented students, Ewin, Samara, Corey, Ephraim and Mhairi, represented East Devonport Primary School at the State Chess Tournament, hosted by Black Square Chess at Scotch Oakburn College in Launceston.
After winning the regional tournament, the team earned their place in the State Championship, which was the biggest chess tournament in Tasmania’s history. They competed against some of the best young players from across the state.
It was a fantastic day filled with strategy, concentration and teamwork. Each student gave their best effort, showing great sportsmanship and determination throughout.
We are very proud of this group for representing our school with pride and positivity.
Bubble fun in Kinder! We have been having some bubble fun in kinder, mixing bubble mixture, soap and water to make a foamy bubbly solution. We watched as the bubbles floated around in the wind. We noticed all of the pretty colours that are in bubbles. We also worked out that if we coated our hands in the soapy mixture we could actually catch the bubbles with our hands without them popping!
On Tuesday September 23 our Year 5 and 6 student headed off to camp. Students had an amazing time over the 3 day having many adventures.
