Senior News

Senior students have had a wonderful start to Term 2, with many events including Anzac Day, Cross country and our visit to Gympie show and the Careers Expo. It is hard to believe that half of the term has already flown by.

We are more than happy to announce that we are back in our beautifully refurbished senior building, both our students and staff are more than happy to return to normality. It has been a credit to our students that have shown resilience and patients moving from one building to another.

Our upcoming events include, STEPS visit at Caloundra, The Events Centre to experience the Wonder Box sensory show and not to forget, our Parents morning tea at our Snack Attack Café in week 8.

Literacy

Students have been continuing their focus on persuasive texts and using images as a stimulus, have create some amazing work. We have also created a rap and short video to promote Smack attack café with the use of creative and persuasive language, we are sure to convince more staff to come to our café.

Numeracy

With reporting fast approaching, students have been working with their heads down and tails up to demonstrate their QCIA goal in numeracy including, measurements, shape, ordering and comparing numbers, calculating and problem solving and counting and recognising quantities of money and change when participating in our recent Mother’s Day stall.

Coach Tim/Sport

Our students have enjoyed practising a variety of skills including, batten races, discus throwing, shotput, javelin and long jump with coach Tim each week.

Snack Attack

Students continue to make delicious snacks to sell at our Snack Attack Café, in the near future they will be creating a step-by-step recipe book that they will be marketing to our staff. Our students continue to receive wonderful feedback for their continued dedication to the running of our café.

The Arts

Students have been exploring and experimenting with a variety of art mediums to create art works including, nail/string art, woodburning, marbling and string paintings. Our Mother’s Day Stall was a success and our crafting/art group worked together to make this stall a success. We will now be turning our focus to sellable crafting ideas as we begin to produce products to sell at a Market, date to be advised.
