All proceeds were donated to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund.

Student Free Day

Staff were fortunate to start a day of thinking and learning with a fabulous breakfast prepared by Rob.

Rememberance Day

Launceston Big Picture School was respectfully represented at the Remembrance Day service at the Launceston Cenotaph. On Monday, the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour. Staff and students were among servicemen, Deputy Major Hugh McKenzie, Members of Parliament, the public and other students to commemorate the end of the Great War.

LBPS Olympics

On Friday 8/11, our student leaders held the LBPS Olympics. The day started with tug-of-war and ended with a colour run. Students had a day of fun participating in a range of activities. Green Team won the day .

Willfit Golf 

9A were rewarded for a busy Term Four with an outlearning trip to Willfit Golf and a McDonald’s pitstop. The Advisory played virtual golf across three bays practicing their swing and some putting in between turns. A couple of students were able to hit their balls quite far, one student got 186 metres.

“It was a smashing good time.” Malachi said.

“Being able to hit the golf ball was great fun.” Jesse added.

A McDonald’s pitstop on the way back to school was well received before returning to Big Picture.

The Advisory has settled in well for their first year, supporting each other as well as other students and staff in the building, aspiring to be wonderful Big Picture students over their journey.

Invermay Tram Shed 9A

As part of exploring interests through outlearning, 9A – also known as the Timelords, took a trip next door to the Tram Sheds. After a tour through the sheds and an informational session, we ventured out to the tram and took a trip. We went up past the museum, near the path to Kmart, and up to the stadium. The tour guide told us lots about the history of trams on the ride.

The Tram Shed Museum has been restoring and showcasing trams at the site since 2004. It had earlier history in other areas before moving there in Invermay The building houses the museum and next door they restore the old trams.
