Swags are here – its ready to go!

Year 6 students are very excited about their camp which departs on Sunday morning. They will travel over 2,500km through the Queensland Outback visiting the townships of Tambo, Blackall, Barcaldine, Longreach, Winton, Charleville, and Mitchell. I wish Mrs Biggar, Miss Fry, Mr Chiverton, Miss McDuff, all the students and Brooksy all the best. You’ll have a wonderful time.

Rice Day Celebrations

Today was Rice Day. As a proud Rice teacher, I somewhat foolishly volunteered to get involved in more than just a supervisory role. My job was standing still while Rice students pelted me with water balloons. Through the laughter and grimacing, it was great to see the smiles on the faces of the students. The Jelly Eating Contest (pictures below) was also well received but for obvious reasons it was the only activity I could photograph. Thank you to Mr Garside and Mrs Skerman who also stood by my side and Malcolm, a Rice House leader, as well.   

Happy Mother’s Day

A shout out to all the mothers of the sector. Thank you for everything that you do for us and the children, both here at school and away from campus. I hope you all have a wonderful day on Sunday.
