At our 2025 AGM we had 13 members of the community in attendance! It was wonderful to see so many parents engage. This was the largest P&C meeting we have had at our school in over a decade! Our Executive was re-elected for a 3rd term and most significiantly the P&C decided that they would have a single focus, building culture. Our school is proudly represented by very large cultural groups with First Nations exceeding 35% and Pacifika 20% of our school population. Supporting a culturally proud and safe school will be the focus of our P&C for 2025. All fundraising efforts will go toward supporting culture building expereinces for all our students.

Despite the rain, our amazing students did a great job navigating the public transport and weather to have a great time in Brisbane! We had some very excited students enjoying the train and having fun at QUT Kelvin Grove. We look forward to our next trip in Term 2.
This morning at KindylinQ, we had so much fun learning about feelings and emotions! The children explored different emotions through stories and creative play. We practiced recognising happy, sad, angry and excited faces. It was heartwarming to see the kids supporting each other and sharing big smiles along the way! Thank you to Mens Shed for the beautiful wooden toys.
Year 2 students attended a Technologies day at Humpy Bong State School where they create a digital presentation using ScratchJr app. Students were able to convey important messages about eSafety at home and school and communicate the importance of staying safe when using digital technology and being online.
