WALKING TO AND FROM SCHOOL SAFELY

2026-02-13T09:53:41+11:0012 February, 2026|Categories: 2026 Term 1 Week 2|

As we start the school year, we encourage parents and carers to share these safety tips from Tas Police with children walking to and from school.

  • Where possible walk with friends in pair or in a group.

  • Positioning yourself near adults, bus drivers, or groups if you feel uncomfortable.
  • Stay in view. Avoid going into areas that are hidden, such as bush or behind buildings or walls.

DROPPING OFF AND PICKING UP SAFELY

2026-02-13T09:54:06+11:0011 February, 2026|Categories: 2026 Term 1 Week 2|

We know the school drop off and pick up can be a busy time, but small acts of care, like choosing safe and considerate places to stop, make a big difference in keeping children safe and showing respect to those […]

Cricket

Before the start of Term, after a 15-year hiatus, we saw the reintroduction of the Woodroffe Cup, a three-day match between Launceston Grammar (LCGS) and Scotch Oakburn College.

The three-day match concluded in just two days, with an emphatic win by Scotch Oakburn College. The team produced an outstanding performance with the ball from the outset. On Day 1, a superb bowling display saw LCGS dismissed for just 45. Responding with patience and discipline, the team compiled 158 from 92 overs, before LCGS returned to the crease on Day 2, still 113 runs […]
