Semester 1 Events
Particular highlights so far
this year have been:
Our Year 5s moved into their newly
built classrooms at the end of January.
This brought about great excitement for
both staff and students.
Our Saviour congregation kindly presented
each one of our Prep students with their
own Bible in February. This initiative of Our Saviour Lutheran
Church occurs each year and our Prep students delight in reading
and enjoying the pictures from their own Bible.
In March we saw both our Years 4 and 5 students depart for
camp. Year 4s attended Bestbrook Mountain Resort which allowed
students to participate in farm type activities whilst Year 5s
attended Camp Currimundi, a camp focusing on beach skills. For
some students, these camps were the first time away from home.
Celebrating and remembering ANZAC Day in April was particularly
special this year with Troopers Philip Mostert and Tom Dawson
from the Lockyer Light Horse Troop (2nd Regiment ALH) attending
a unique ANZAC service.
Our regular Mother’s Day stall was held in May and as usual our
Senior School students studying Early Childhood played a major
role in wrapping, pricing, and even making goods to supplement
the donated items. The Prep students also did a pamper session
for their Mum which involved a hand massage, filing nails and
applying nail polish. This was a memorable event!
The theme for our annual Under Eights Day, also held in
May, was “Living Diversity – Act Locally – Think Globally”.
The events and activities enabled our young students to
experience the many diverse elements of their environment,
as well as, tolerance of others and respect for all people in their
communities and their world.
It seems as though each semester is busier than the last,
however, in the Junior School we continue and endeavour
to provide opportunities for the students to learn, engage,
socialise, build community and have fun!
