PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
Welcome back to the start of Term 2. I have been
extremely impressed with how the majority of
students have dived back into their learning and,
more importantly, given their best effort. To start
the term we have enrolled four new students: two in
Grade 8, one in Grade 9 and one in Grade 10. I have
also met with two more Grade 10 students who will
start soon. Welcome to our new students and their
families.
Reports
Our first term ‘Progress Report’ was sent home at
the end of Term 1. The reports aimed to give
parents an indication of how students have started
the year. If parents have any concerns from their child’s report, we urge you to contact the relevant
teacher. At the end of this term, we will be sending
home a comprehensive midyear report, where you
will receive written comments and ratings for all
subject areas. During the last Monday and Tuesday
of this term, 3:15pm to 6:30pm, there will be an
opportunity for parents to meet with teachers.

PRINCIPAL’S REPORT continued
Anzac Day
One of our important school values, helping us to shape how we act at Latrobe High School, is respect.
Parents and the school community should be very pleased with the amount of students who attended
Anzac services at Latrobe, Port Sorell and surrounding areas. I would like to thank Belle Needham and
Elijah Hyvattinen for presenting their speech at the Latrobe Service. They played an important role in
providing people with the opportunity to reflect and pay their respects.
Mainland Experience
During the first weekend of the school holidays, a group of students and five staff embarked on the Spirit
of Tasmania to spend three days in Melbourne. The students and staff had a wonderful time, where they
experienced the sights and opportunities that Melbourne has to offer. It was lovely to hear about the trip
where staff described students as independent, patient and mature. In particular, I would like to thank
Mr Hardy and Mrs Holloway who spent hours planning and organising the trip.
Kinmen Study Tour
We are still in need of some host families, so I have provided the information below. It is a wonderful opportunity for your family and I strongly encourage you to consider it. In July and August 2019, Latrobe
High School will host 10 study tour students from Kinmen County, Taiwan. The students are part of a
larger group of 80 students, who will be attending various schools in North West Tasmania arriving on
20 July and departing on 8 August 2019.
This study tour is part of an ongoing agreement between Department of Education and Kinmen County
Education Bureau.
Students are between 14 and 15 years, and living in homestay offers the chance to experience Australian
culture and to further develop their English language skills – and make new friends!
At Latrobe High School, we recognise the importance of adopting a global perspective in education, and
seek to provide our students with the understanding and skills to work and thrive in a globalised world.
Hosting an international student is a fantastic opportunity for your family to learn about another culture,
and at the same time, you will help a young person experience Tasmania through the eyes of a local
family by sharing culture, language and food.
Any kind of family can host – the most important contribution is a willingness to welcome a student to
Tasmania and your home, while making them feel like a real member of your family.
Hosts need to provide a safe, supportive and welcoming home environment, including three meals per
day, and assistance with transport to and from school each day. In return, hosts are provided with a daily
allowance to assist with expenses.
To register to host Kinmen students, please call Mike Sly at Government Education and Training

“I was astounded when I viewed the original artwork and found the images totally captivating. The story
supports the artwork which creates a magical world of bugs after dark.”
