Thank you to the Gympie Police department who came to visit our Early Years Students to show their uniforms, car and explain about a Police Officer's job. The students had a great time looking at the handcuffs, exploring the Police vehicle, looking at the flashing lights and listening to the sirens 🚓👮🏻‍♀️🚨😃

💦🏊‍♂️ Our Secondary Swimming Carnival was all about participation, confidence, and having a go!

We were incredibly proud to see so many students getting involved, challenging themselves, supporting their peers, and enjoying the day. From the pool to the sidelines, the encouragement, smiles, and positive attitudes were amazing to see.

Well done to all of our students for embracing the spirit of the carnival and giving it their best effort! 🌟💙

Students in P3 have been using their senses and exploring changes in substances whilst making volcanoes during a science lesson.

We have also enjoyed the Term 4 swimming lessons at the pool with Leonie & Danni instructing.

🌙 Bedtime is a great time to connect!

Using an ALD (Aided Language Display) board during bedtime routines helps children build communication skills in meaningful, everyday moments. By modelling words and phrases while reading a story, talking about the day, or getting ready for sleep, families can support language development in a natural and engaging way.

Bedtime chats can help children express their thoughts, feelings, preferences, and experiences while strengthening family connections.

✨ Remember: communication opportunities are everywhere, and even a few minutes of shared conversation before bed can make a big difference.
