20.01.2022 Just a few reminders for the last day of school tomorrow. School officially finishes at 12pm and therefore students will need to be picked up at this time. Tomorrow is also free dress, please ensure students are dressed appropriately. Have a great last day students!

19.01.2022 Our last day of term is going to be very busy filled with lots of fun activities. We will be holding our Book Week Parade, Fun Run and a Sausage Sizzle on this day. A letter has been emailed home in regards to the schedule for the day, as well as forms being sent home with students for the sausage sizzle. Students will need to return their order form with the exact amount of money by Tuesday 15 September. ... The Book Week Parade and Fun Run are definitely some of our most loved events of the year which are enjoyed by both our students and parents however due to COVID 19 restrictions we are unable to have parents attend these events. We are working to find the best possible way to keep our parents included in these fun moments but in the meantime, stay tuned to our Facebook page as photos from these events will be uploaded shortly after. Our primary students will be finishing their school day at 11:45am and secondary will be finishing their school day at 2:00pm on Friday 18. For more information regarding the Fun Run and Book Week Parade, please read the email which was sent home to all parents.

18.01.2022 Our Fun Run this year was just as exciting as previous years however this year because Primary and Secondary participated in seperate Fun Run's this meant that Mr Gorge could create a Fun Run course that was a bit more challenging than in past years. Well done to all our students for doing your best and giving it a go and for ARCHER taking home the win. We would like to congratulate the top 3 males and females who had the highest score from activities participated in. 1st -... Amelia Marriott (Year 7) 2nd - Ashlee Bosomworth (Year 12) 3rd - Phoenix-Rose Waugh (Year 7) 1st - Aaron Gorge (Year 9) 2nd - Lachlan Smith (Year 10) 3rd - Lloyd Marriott (Year 8)

14.01.2022 We would like to again thank our parent community for your support over the last six months in relation to following the COVID policies and procedures. It has been a challenging year for everyone and we are very pleased to announce that from the start of Term 4, restrictions at Lighthouse will begin to ease, seeing Prep to Year 3 parents permitted to return to site for the drop off times each morning. To ensure that any enduring COVID procedures are maintained, we would ask t...hat returning P-Y3 parents observe the following expectations: Please strictly adhere to social distancing measures remaining 1.5m away from all adults. For the present time, only staff and students are permitted to enter classrooms. Do not enter the school grounds if you are sick or feeling unwell, or have been interstate in the past fourteen days. Follow the health and safety signs around the grounds. Supervised morning drop off and escorting protocols will still be available in the mornings. We will continue to maintain Primary afternoon collection times at 2:40pm and Secondaries at 3:00pm employing the same strategies as we did in Term 3, with parents able to collect children at the drive through collection point at the front of the school.

14.01.2022 Our last day of term 3 was an absolute blast! We had our Book Week Parade as well as the Fun Run. Here are a few highlights from the day.

11.01.2022 In Term 4, Mrs Cook's Year 8 Technology class has been learning how to design 3D models, utilising their Apple iPads they have learned skills of basic shape creation to develop characters and other models. Jayden Semple chose to make his model based on the Disney character of Wall-E. Jayden put so much detail into his model that we decided to 3D print it; it took over four days to print. Well done to Jayden and all the Year 8 Technology classes on the exceptional effort and hard work they put in this term.

10.01.2022 On Friday we had The Creation Guy, John Mackay, join us at school to talk about creation science to our students. Mr Mackay is a geologist who has been all over the world and is the International Director of Creation Research. We had 4 different sessions that day across our primary and secondary classes discussing focus topics about science and the Bible. Our primary classes had so much fun with Mr Mackay as he talked about Creation, The Flood and Dinosaurs. The high school s...tudents had a chance to listen to him speak on the topic of Creation and Evolution using Bible evidence, facts and fossils. Everyone also had the chance to ask Mr Mackay questions about creation and things about his creation research and his amazing fossil finds. Mr Mackay runs the @jurassic ark creation located near Gympie which is the world’s only outdoor creation research museum and fossil dig site. The Jurassic Ark will open again on Saturday October 10, 2020 for a FREE Family Day Out after being greatly affected having no visitors for several months because of COVID. Strict attendance limits apply to follow COVID Safe Plan, so please make sure to plan your booking or visit www.jurassicark.com.au/bookings/ before your visit.
