From the Principal - Term 4 week 6
Huonville High School Shines in a Week of Success and Community Spirit.
This past week has been one to remember at Huonville High School, with students, staff, and the wider community coming together to achieve incredible milestones across various events.
Inaugural Remembrance Day Service
For the first time, our school participated in a full-scale community Remembrance Day service, with all students and staff joining community at the Huonville cenotaph in a moving tribute. The event demonstrated the depth of respect our students have for those who have served to protect our freedoms.
Special thanks go to Mr Adrian Dorrington, and Mr Jason Lunden, and the entire team of speakers, ushers, set-up crew, chefs, and our fabulous student body for making this event a success. Highlights included:
- The respectful procession to the cenotaph.
- Aimee Cook’s heartfelt reading.
- Students laying the wreath and hearing from veterans about the importance of remembrance.
- A delightful morning tea with scones that brought everyone together.
Thank you to all staff for their preparation and support, ensuring this day was a shining example of our community spirit. Seeing our students' exemplary behaviour was a moment of immense pride for all.
Athletics Carnival Success
This year’s Athletics Carnival was nothing short of spectacular! A massive thank you to Miss Sophie Rainbird, Mr James Belstead, and Mr Riley Mislov for planning and facilitating the most successful carnival in memory.
The day was filled with fun, teamwork, and plenty of “have-a-go” spirit. It was a joy to see students embrace the activities with enthusiasm and camaraderie.
Boys’ Basketball Team Triumphs at State Championships
Under the guidance of coach Mr Riley Mislov, the boys’ basketball team participated in the State Basketball Championships at the Kingborough Sports Centre. They performed outstandingly, making it to the Grand Final after a stellar win on Sunday morning.
Though they fell short of victory against St Virgil’s, the team’s effort in coming back from a 20-point deficit was inspiring. Huge thanks to all the families and staff who supported the team
Congratulations to the team for representing Huonville High with such determination and sportsmanship!
