From the Principal’s Desk
Dear Parents/Guardians,
As you are aware, there has been a significant COVID (Delta Variant) outbreak in Brisbane over the weekend and the Education Qld will continue to monitor this situation and communicate to schools as appropriate.
I would like to remind our school community of ongoing expectations as we continue to navigate through this situation.
• If your child/ren are unwell or have displayed cold or flu symptoms, please keep them at home. If students display symptoms at school we will be calling parents/carers with the expectation that you will come to school to collect your child.
• Adults must remain 1.5m apart when visiting the school site and of course ongoing hand sanitization is required. If possible try and avoid travelling in the 11 local government areas identified by Qld Health. If you require any further information please use refer to COVID - Staying Safe
Regards
Rob Lyons
Deputy Principal

Character dress up day - Friday 27th August 2021
Each year libraries around Australia hold events such as Dress Up Day to celebrate Children's Book Week to highlight the enjoyment of reading and promote Australian children's literature. It has been fantastic to have so many staff getting involved in the day and having loads of fun along with it. We hope that this year will be no exception. If you haven't got your costume ready yet then don't panic there are websites such as Pinterest that have some great ideas for cheap, easy costumes to put together. Cheap shops such as Choice also have a range of cheap costumes.
This year's theme for Book Week is Old Worlds, New Worlds and Other Worlds. Come dressed in your favourite book character from one of these worlds. There will be prizes for the best dressed student in each sector and a treasure hunt in the library.

MATHS WITH 7/8/9B
7/8/9B have hit the ground running with their Maths activities. They are working hard on adding and taking away from a collection of objects, counting to and from 20 and carrying out simple addition and subtraction calculations. We're smashing our goals this semester!!
2021 SENIOR CAMP
Team Senior got on a big bus and headed to camp at Maranatha on the Sunshine Coast. Here are just some of the comments that the Fearless senior students made:
Matty: I had fun climbing to do the low ropes.
Renae: I enjoyed the low ropes.
Jeffery: I enjoyed sleeping in a cabin with all the boys. I slept on the top bunk.
K: I liked the giant swing because it was so much fun.
Caine: I liked the flying fox and going up higher.
Mason: I liked the giant swing, it was exciting.
Joe: Liked camp because of being with my friends.
As teaching staff we could not be prouder of our students for their ‘can do’ attitude at camp and the fearlessness in trying all new adventures.
