Brighton State School

Our Year 6 students are now one step closer to their 2026 Canberra Tour! Students proudly received their tour hoodies and the excitement across the cohort was incredible. More than just a hoodie, these represent leadership, maturity and a special milestone unique to Year 6 students at Brighton State School. Keep an eye out for our Year 6 leaders proudly wearing their hoodies as they continue to embody what it means to be proud to be Brighton.

Our Year 5 and 6 STEM Excellence Program continues to provide students with exciting opportunities to explore technology through coding and robotics. Each week, students engage in hands-on learning experiences that challenge them to think critically, solve problems creatively and work collaboratively. Currently, students are designing and programming robots to play soccer, applying their coding skills in a fun and highly engaging way. It has been fantastic to see the innovation, teamwork and enthusiasm displayed as students bring their robotic creations to life.

Recently a group of our promising Year 3 writers had the exciting opportunity to participate in a writing workshop with acclaimed author Yvonne Mes. Students were inspired as they explored the creative writing process, developed their storytelling skills and learnt firsthand what it takes to bring ideas to life through words. It was wonderful to see our young authors so engaged, asking thoughtful questions and embracing the joy of writing. Experiences like these continue to inspire a love of literacy and nurture the incredible talent growing within our school

Today our Environment Captains had the incredible opportunity to attend EcoMarines Day at Tangalooma Island Resort. Throughout the day, students engaged in a range of hands-on environmental learning experiences focused on sustainability, marine conservation and protecting our natural environment.

This exciting experience allowed our student leaders to connect with like-minded schools, deepen their understanding of environmental responsibility and develop ideas they can bring back to our school community. We are incredibly proud of the way our Environment Captains represented Brighton State School and the enthusiasm they showed in becoming future leaders for a more sustainable world.

This morning Brighton State School proudly celebrated Under 8s Day.

Across the morning, our youngest learners engaged in a range of fun, hands-on learning experiences that celebrated curiosity, creativity, play, and connection. The smiles, laughter, and excitement seen throughout the activities were a powerful reminder of the joy that exists within learning and the strong sense of belonging that makes our school community so special.

A huge thank you to all staff for the incredible effort and preparation that went into creating such a memorable experience for our families. Thank you also to the many parents and carers who joined us this morning and continue to partner with us in creating such a connected and supportive community.
