21.01.2022 Year 4 have been studying William Robinson. One of the regular themes in his work Is of water. The students also created a self portrait of how they feel at the beach and around water. Next week we will combine the two images. Students also had a play in the Sketches app! They used their self portrait and a photograph of their background and had a play to combine and montage their work. They used a range of 3D materials to create watery backgrounds. This is the combinatio...n of our self portrait, water background and media work, all in one lesson. Well done Year 4 The students now know that a range of blues makes a big difference! See more

It reminds us all to heed the advic...e from government health authorities regarding the potential spread of the virus. Our schools continue to follow public health advice in terms of cleaning and hygiene practices along with the guidelines for large group gatherings. As Queensland Health undertakes contract tracing for the individuals who have tested positive, we will continue to respond to new information as it becomes available. In the meantime, our school communities continue to ask students and staff to: wash their hands regularly with soap and water, particularly before and after eating, and after going to the toilet, use alcohol-based hand sanitiser if soap is unavailable, cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, or the inside of their elbow, dispose of used tissues in the bin immediately, apply social distancing as far as possible at school. If your child develops flu like symptoms, please: keep your child at home and seek advice about undergoing COVID-19 testing contact your doctor or contact 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84) immediately call ahead to the medical centre or doctors surgery, advising of your childs symptoms.
