25.01.2022 During Book Week, our Preps had a wonderful time meeting the author and illustrator of Scribbly Gum Secrets and learning how to draw their very own Scribbly Gums. #aimhighandfly

25.01.2022 To all of our wonderful Dad's, Step Dad's, Grandfather's and Carers, Happy Father's Day to you all! #aimhigandfly

24.01.2022 Year One has been celebrating being part of 175 years! #aimhighandfly

24.01.2022 We sincerely apologize to anyone affected by the alarm emitting from our school early this morning. We are working with our technical support staff to rectify the issue to ensure this doesn't happen again.

24.01.2022 A shout out to wonderful teachers everywhere, who go above and beyond to make learning come alive for the children they teach. A recent example are these two i...nspirational educators from Guardian Angels School in Wynnum, who made my heart explode with their choice of Book Week costume...and then totally tear up when I heard the story behind it. Mrs Lucas (left) told me... "I loved your book so much; I wrote a 2-week English unit using Jacaranda Magic as my focus text. The kids innovated on your text to create their own Jacaranda Magic stories....and they LOVED it! It just made sense to come dressed as a Jacaranda Tree for Book Week! Thank you for the inspiration." Thank YOU, Mrs Lucas, and all the other amazing, creative, intelligent, above-and-beyond teachers out there! I see you. What you do for our children is so important. Roll on Summer holidays and a well earned rest for you all...perhaps under the shady canopy of your favourite tree!

24.01.2022 Students, come dressed in your ORIGIN colours tomorrow!Students, come dressed in your ORIGIN colours tomorrow!

23.01.2022 This week in Japanese lessons we revisited the story of "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes". The 6th August 2020 marks 75 years since the atomic bomb was dropped on the City of Hiroshima. As we folded our own origami cranes, we reflected on the importance of world peace and a world free from the threat of nuclear weapons. Our origami cranes together make up the word "Heiwa", or PEACE.

18.01.2022 Thank you to Archbishop Mark Coleridge for blessing our Mt Carmel Centre at Wynnum, 105 years to the day the former convent was opened for the Sisters of Mercy.... Our Executive Director Pam Betts welcomed representatives from the Mercy Sisters, including Brisbane Congregation Leader Sr Catherine Reuter to the liturgy, concelebrated by Guardian Angels Parish Priest Fr Serevino Bustamante. They were joined by special guests including State member for Lytton, Joan Pease MP; Australian Heritage Specialists Director Linda Gall, current and former staff at neighbouring Guardian Angels School and BCE Leadership team to mark the milestone, which fell on the Feast Day of Australias first saint, Mary MacKillop. Afternoon tea followed on the veranda, with the Sisters sharing some wonderful memories of their time spent in this richly historical building. Now begins a new chapter for the heritage landmark as a professional learning venue with an unparalleled aesthetic. You can visit the website at https://bit.ly/2DM65y3 to find out more about the Mt Carmel Centre. #BCEschools #futurelearningcommunities @Archdiocese of Brisbane The Catholic Leader See more

18.01.2022 X marks the spot! This week our Preps have been looking at the letter X. We decided we needed a treasure hunt. They braved the sharks, paddled across the open waters, walked the plank, and travelled by boat to a desert island. The wind was howling as we went on our adventure. Our pirate hats blew away but never fear - X marks the spot! We found the treasure! #aimhighandfly

17.01.2022 Is this what the village of Nazareth looked like? All Year 1 students spent Term 3 learning about what life was like for Jesus. Students used their knowledge to make some amazing houses from that time. #aimhighandfly

17.01.2022 While investigating the nursery rhyme Jack and Jill. Preps were very interested in how some countries even today have to walk a long distance to get their water. We decided to research how a well works by using our playground and pulling water up, up, up! It was a bit tricky and required a lot of team work! #aimhighandfly

16.01.2022 Were going on a bear hunt. Were going to catch a big one. Were not scared! In HASS this term Preps are looking at maps and the features of places. Today we went on a bear hunt complete with thick oozy mud and an icy snow storm! We are so lucky to have our own mud pit and stepping stone forest in our Prep playground. The question is... did we find a bear? #aimhighandfly

15.01.2022 A letter from the zoo! Some animals have escaped, what can we do? Some have four legs, some have two. Can you help me work out who? Prep sorted some images of animals and then worked in pairs to solve the problem. I think I would prefer a penguin escape over a lion escape!!! #aimhighandfly

15.01.2022 The next morning Jack awoke to a giant beanstalk outside his room. Our Preps worked in pairs today to draw their beanstalks and add leaves. We measured the length using our hands, then a ruler. We compared their sizes and ordered them from shortest to tallest. We had so much fun! #aimhighandfly

14.01.2022 This week the Preppies visited our beautiful church. We loved the stain glass windows and spotting the Guardian Angel.

We counted the Stations of the Cross and even found the Patron Saint of Australia - Mary Mackillop. #aimhighandfly

14.01.2022 This week marks NAIDOC week. While we celebrate the history, culture and achievements of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of Australia, in Japanese lessons at G.A we are learning the indigenous Ainu people of Japan, the various battles they have overcome as a minority ethnic group and the design and symbolism used by the Ainu people in their handicrafts.

We checked out how wed get ourselves around Australia Zoo and used Google Earth to find Aust - QLD - Brisbane - Wynnum - Guardians Angels. We then got busy using the blocks to create a Birds Eye view of our school. It was lovely to see how engaged and excited the children were with their learning. #aimhighandfly

13.01.2022 STEM learning in 3 Blue. Over the past 5 weeks the students researched ideas, drew first design ideas and used feedback to improve their initial designs. Yesterday, they put their final designs to the test. All students created a bridge spanning a 40cm gap with only 30 paddle pop sticks and 1.5cm of tape. Everyone also managed to drive a Sphero across their bridge. Well done 3B.

11.01.2022 Yesterday Mrs Waller informed the school that a local aged care facility was nearing its fourth week of lockdown, with many weeks still to come. Although this lockdown is needed to keep the elderly safe, the isolation is taking its toll on many of the residents. So today, Prep Blue had a wonderful morning creating bright beautiful flowers and unicorns to decorate the aged care home and put a smile on the resident’s faces. It was so heart-warming to see how excited the children were to create their flowers and unicorns for the elderly. Taking the time to show kindness and compassion to the lonely members in our community, was our priority today. #aimhighandfly
