GOVERNMENT HOUSE TASMANIA

17 December 2021

I join with the Tasmanian community in feelings of great sorrow at the tragedy that has occurred at Hillcrest Primary School, Devonport.

Our thoughts are with those affected; immediate families, classmates and their parents, the School staff, first responders and the entire Devonport community.

In a time of tragedy such as this our hearts are with the grieving family members and will remain so.

The Office of the Governor of Tasmania stands by to provide whatever comfort we are able to in this profoundly sad time.

HER EXCELLENCY THE HONOURABLE BARBARA BAKER AC

GOVERNOR OF TASMANIA
