We extend our heartfelt thanks to all who joined us for the recent parent event, and hopefully others can make the next event.  Families engaged in fun crafts and conversations over cookies, brownies and lemonade. It seemed like everyone had fun and I can’t wait for the next Parent Event in Term 3.  We hope you can join us for the next gathering — details to come soon! The excursion to the Gympie Show was a delightful experience, blessed with sunny weather for a change. All the students from S3 displayed exemplary behaviour, being safe and respectful.  They relished the vibrant displays, making it a memorable day for all.

Coach Tim has been leading energetic sessions to prepare our students for Sports Day in Week 9.  It’s been great to see the students’ enthusiasm and effort paying off as their skills improve.  While a few sessions have been wet we’re lucky to have the Quad to practice in, but have been soaking up the sun on the playground oval with Tim when it’s out.   We look forward to seeing everyone at Sports Day to cheer on our young athletes. As we approach the end of the term, excitement is building for the PBL Rewards Day in Week 10. While the specific reward remains a surprise, it's sure to be a fun-filled celebration of our students' positive behaviours and achievements.

Warm regards, Andy, Gaelle, Sabana, Baxter, Leni, Maddie A, Maddee S and Arley

Science with Gaelle

We launched into science by first making some catapults. They were lots of fun and demonstrated the force of push and how the flexible materials allowed for the pompoms to be propelled across the room. We then revisited our balloon rocket and through changing the shape of the balloon, succeeded in getting it to travel a great distance along the corridor. The students cheered at their result! We then built magnetic cars and using the repelling force of the magnets we moved our cars forwards, backwards, around an obstacle course and over a bridge. The students also conducted two experiments of their own choosing. They predicted, made observations and made sure that their tests were fair. Science is always a lot of FUN!
