๐Ÿ‘ Karumba Festival of Sports โ€“ Day 3! ๐Ÿ‘

What a huge final day for our GSS students! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›

Day 3 saw our students back on the hockey field for more great games, before heading into the finals.

Our Junior Blue team battled it out against Normanton in the final. Unfortunately, they went down, but what an incredible effort from our young players! ๐Ÿ‘

Our Senior Yellow team also faced Normanton in their final. It was a tough contest, and although they didnโ€™t get the result they were hoping for, they played their hearts out right until the final whistle. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ‘

Congratulations to Hank who was awarded Player of the Tournament!! ๐Ÿ™Œ

A huge effort from all of our kids over the past three days. They played with determination, teamwork and fantastic sportsmanship and should be incredibly proud of themselves. You played like champions! โญ๏ธ

A massive THANK YOU to Gill for all your coaching and support throughout the term. We certainly couldnโ€™t have come this far without you! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’›

And finally, a big thank you to all the families who came along and supported our kids over the past three days. Your encouragement from the sidelines means so much, and we truly appreciate it. ๐Ÿ’™

Our Kindy students have been busy learning all about life cycles, and recently had the very exciting opportunity to watch one happen right before their eyes! ๐Ÿฆ‹

Using a Butterfly kit, students observed the amazing transformation from chrysalis to butterfly. To our surprise, our butterfly hatched from its chrysalis on just Day 2! Students loved watching it emerge, observing its delicate wings and learning about the changes that happen during a butterflyโ€™s life cycle.

On Friday, we were lucky enough to release our butterfly together, watching it fly off into its new home. What a special experience for our Kindy students!

Today, our students got into the spirit of Bravehearts Day by dressing up as superheroes and enjoying a fun-filled school disco! ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿชฉ๐ŸŽถ

๐ŸŽญ SHAKE & STIR โ€“ THE TWITS ๐ŸŽญ

What an absolute treat we had with a visit this week from Shake & Stir Theatre Co, who brought Roald Dahlโ€™s much-loved story The Twits to life!

The performance was hilariously funny, wonderfully entertaining and full of energy, with plenty of laughs from both students and staff. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Our students loved the crazy characters, clever storytelling and all the mischief that comes with Mr and Mrs Twit!

A huge thank you to the Shake & Stir team for bringing such a fantastic live theatre experience to Georgetown State School. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›
