25.01.2022 2021 Student Leaders Today our Year 5 students completed their speeches outlining their vision to make an impact on Pialba State School in 2021 and to create their own legacy in our schools 135 years of awesome history. Photos of students completing their speeches will be posted on Monday. ... As Deputy Principal I led with our amazing Year 5 teachers to support our Year 5 students through their speeches. I cannot be any more proud of each and every one of our students who for the first time used a microphone and articulated what they wish to lead as a Badged Leader in 2021. I would like to acknowledge our Year 5 teachers of Mrs Murray, Mr Goodfellow, Mrs Eastwood and Mrs Higgs who have worked with the year 5 students over the semester on What is Leadership, their impact of being a leader, seeing and unpacking our greatest Australian leaders in sport, the arts and cultural to identify leadership traits as well as identifying their own strengths of leadership. This amazing work and these discussions came through each and every student speech. I explained to the students today that our current Year 6 Leaders have shown and will be remembered for an amazing legacy in 2020. Our Year 6 students are amazing role models for all students. I am confident that whoever becomes our badged leaders for 2021 will lead our school to amazing and great achievements in 2021. So proud of our Year 5 students today. Simply .............. Brilliant. Thank you to Mrs Murray Mr Goodfellow Mrs Eastwood and Mrs Higgs with your leadership through the student leadership program this semester. Thank you parents ........ your students were amazing today. The leaders selected to positions before the end of term will lead our school to amazing leadership in 2021.

20.01.2022 Throughout term 4, Mrs Lewis our teacher librarian worked with some of our Yr 1 &2 students on an extension English project. Each student was given a book to read and a large paper bag to decorate. They needed to decorate their paper bag with the book title, author and an image of the book. When they had completed these tasks they were required to construct a character cube and decorate a small paper bag with important or main ideas from the book. The final activity was to... make a board game based on their book. Phew!!! Just when they thought they were finished these students were asked to present their work to the leadership team. No pressure at all for our extension students. They all spoke clearly about the story they had read and made connections between their artefacts and the story. Well done to everyone. A special thank you to Mrs Lewis. See more
