24.01.2022 Another great day at Indro, with students participating in the Writers Workshop, inspired and guided by author Angela Sunde. Members of the Leadership Team also got to go on site of the new build, to see the progress being made. Amazing, all round!

19.01.2022 The transition from Kindergarten to Prep is very important. The ISS Prep Team were very pleased to welcome colleagues from local kindergartens and Early Childhood Education Centres this afternoon. Over afternoon tea, they shared knowledge and planned further ways to work together.

17.01.2022 Our first Values Parade for 2021, and there were some very joyful little (and big!) people! Indi made an appearance, of course, and was excited to hear all about 'iMail' this year. Two of our new Prep students were the first to bring something for Indi (it was too big for his letter box). Our Citizenship Captains and Prefects did a really super job, running the show!

17.01.2022 Term 2 starts on Monday, and things will be a little different, with most students learning at home. Its new for all of us, and were all in it together

17.01.2022 Term 1 has concluded for all students. There is no expectation that students are undertaking learning at home this week. Our teachers are busy preparing for the possibility of remote learning in Term 2. We wish all of our families a safe and restful break.

17.01.2022 Please support our fantastic Future Problem Solving Teams by coming along the movie fundraiser night!

16.01.2022 Kindness, generosity and just plain goodness were truly demonstrated by the teams working on our new build today. The Wiley construction team and their sub contractors decided to have a whip around at their weekly breakfast, especially for our Mia. They collectively chipped in $540 which will be donated to 'Movement for Mia'. We are overwhelmed by this beautiful and thoughtful gesture. https://movementformia.org/miawilkinsontrust/

16.01.2022 Unfortunately, due to the air quality being rated 'Very Poor' in Brisbane today, we have had to cancel the Years 1 & 2 swimming carnival. Apologies for the disappointment and inconvenience.

16.01.2022 EPIC Graduation celebration for the 2020 Year 6 students! Our parent helpers pulled out all the stops to create a day of joy, fun and surprises for our students. The parent Guard of HONOUR was a wonderful inclusion. Thank you to all involved for making this such a memorable day. Details of how to download photos and videos from the day (via Smugmug) were included in the gift envelopes students received today

14.01.2022 We are so excited for Monday!!! The Years 5 & 6 students at school have made a welcome mural at the top courts, and Mrs Kelly's kindness ninjas have been putting up posters in different areas for our students. The students at school also had some lovely cards of appreciation for the teachers, who have all been working hard during this phase of learning @ home. Thank you to all of our families for the wonderful support you have continued to give over the past weeks. We are so grateful!

This is an opportunity to leave book packs or resources in your child's classroom. Classrooms will be unlocked, but teachers may not be present.

07.01.2022 A Special Message for Parents & Caregivers - Novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV Dear Parents & Caregivers As you may be aware, health authorities across the nation are currently responding to the emergence in Australia of the Coronavirus that has emanated from China.... I attach information from Queensland Health which includes advice that if children become sick (e.g. fever, flu-like symptoms, sore throat, headaches, breathing difficulties) after having recently had links to Wuhan or the Province of Hubei within China, or in contact with someone who is a confirmed case, they should present immediately to a doctor and not attend school while unwell. Our school always follows the advice of public health authorities in these circumstances and I would ask you to be especially aware of this current situation in the interest of public health. Thank you for your support in relation to this matter. Yours sincerely Debbie Spanner Principal Indooroopilly State School
