15.01.2022 ARBORIST - Industry Q&A UniHUB @ 1.20pm Wednesday 23 September What does an Arborist do you ask? More than climb trees! Arborists are the tree doctors of the professional world, with the experience and knowledge to maintain and tend plants and trees, diagnosing and solving any minor or major issues such as nutritional problems, disease, or plant structure. But an arborist does more than simply diagnosing and curing trees of any issues. They are also directly involved with th...e maintenance of living trees through pruning, trimming, and cutting. Arborists are educated in the safest practices to climb trees properly, and are equipped with the proper climbing gear and, if necessary, mechanical lifts for taller trees. If you have any questions, please see Elle Faulkner in Room 76 at the College, or on (03) 6332 3286 or at [email protected]

02.01.2022 CHANGES TO SCHOOL BUS SERVICES 2021 The Department of State Growth contracts school bus services with private contractors throughout Tasmania. As part of its management of contracted services, State Growth recently undertook the Bus Services Review Project to review services state-wide to ensure that they continue to operate efficiently and meet a broad range of travel needs. Changes to school bus services travelling between Perth, Devon Hills, Evandale and Launceston are par...t of the final stages of this project. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of changes to the school bus network for students travelling to and from Queechy High School and Newstead College. These changes will be implemented from the start of Term 1, 2021: - The Perth to Prospect (via Devon Hills and Glenara Lakes) school bus service operated by Calow’s Coaches will be removed. This bus is primarily used by St Patrick’s College and Prospect High School students, but may also be used by other students to travel to Glenara Lakes interchange in the morning. If there are any students currently catching this service from stops in Perth and Devon Hills, they will be able to catch the Jack’s Longford to Newstead bus in the morning to travel directly to school. - There will be no changes to travel to Perth and Devon Hills in the afternoon. Students can continue to catch the Jack’s Newstead to Longford bus as they currently do. - There will no longer be a late afternoon service between Glenara Lakes, Relbia and Evandale. Any students currently travelling on this trip can catch the Deddington to Launceston school bus service operated by Redline from Launceston College or Glenara Lakes Interchange. However, please note that this bus does not travel via Relbia. You will now find route maps and timetables for 2021 here: www.transport.tas.gov.au/public_transport.
