🎉 Celebrating 60 Years as Cherbourg State School!

Last week marked 60 years since our school was named Cherbourg State School!

While our school’s name has changed over the years, our strong connections to culture, community and Country have always remained. ❤️💛🖤

We proudly acknowledge the Elders, families, staff and students, past and present, who have helped shape our school into the wonderful place it is today!

Remembrance Day ❤️

Throughout the month, our students have been creating beautiful chalk drawings to honour Remembrance Day. This morning, all students had the opportunity to walk through our Culture Room and view the drawings, taking a moment to reflect on their meaning.

We also held a special Remembrance Day parade and were honoured to have Uncle Eric join us to speak with our students about the importance of remembering and honouring those who have served.

A special opportunity for our school community to come together, learn and pay our respects.

A big thank you to our wonderful Culture Team for organising and supporting these meaningful activities and helping our students understand the importance of Remembrance Day.

Lest We Forget.

☀️ ‘Lights for Learning’ brings Origin volunteers and school children together to make portable solar lights for PNG communities living in energy poverty. 💡

The lights help children along the Kokoda Track to study when the sun goes down, improving their prospects of using education to break the cycle of poverty. 📚✨ In turn, Australian students learn about the potential humanitarian impact of STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths). 🔬 Many thanks to Origin Energy Foundation and Solar Buddy for the experience of making the solar lights and writing letters to children in PNG. 💛🌏
