Principal's Report
Dear Parents, carers, Students and Friends of Prospect High School,
Athletics Carnival
We had a very successful day on Wednesday for our athletics carnival where participation and sportsmanship were a feature. Warialda won the carnival largely due to great participation. Many students displayed the DoE Value of aspiration to better their times or distance and others displayed the value of courage and challenging themselves to enter events that they normally would not consider. Congratulations to students who were record breakers; they will be acknowledged later in the term. Congratulations also to the track and field champions, runners-up and students who will represent Prospect High School in the Inter-high on 20th November. Thank you to the Facilities and administration staff in the preparations they undertook leading up to the day. Thanks to the Health and Physical Education team, in particular to Mrs Slore, who organised the carnival, and to all staff for their supervision and support. A final thanks to parents who came along to support their children.
Extraordinary Party - Celebration of Collaboration
Yesterday afternoon all state schools in Tasmania were invited by the Department of Education to a celebration of our achievements with online learning during the period due to Covid-19. Schools were encouraged to participate in a range of activities and a presentation from the department with interviews from a range of employees, parents and students. There were recollections of the challenges (communication, monitoring of learning, access to technology, wellbeing) and successes (new ways of learning, new pedagogy, preferred style of learning, increased growth in regulation and organisation skills) of learning at home. I am very thankful and appreciative of the professionalism and collaboration displayed by all staff (non-teaching and teaching), the engagement of students and support from parents during the learning at home period, and I certainly believe that it was worthy of acknowledging and celebrating.
Mrs Lee Barker
