24.01.2022 Our Year 6 students went on camp to Tinaroo Environmental Education Centre today. It looks like they are set for lots of fun and active learning over the next few days!

23.01.2022 Our Year 6 students are nearly half way through their camp at Black Gully, Tinaroo Environmental Education Centre, and are having so much fun. Everyone has been... challenged to complete activities outside their comfort zone...and the challenges keep coming. It's fantastic to see them following TEEC's Keys to Success - Organisation, Confidence, Getting Along, Persistence and Resilience. I think that it will be a quiet weekend ahead for most. See more

22.01.2022 We wish these lovely ladies only good things for their future adventures. Congratulations Kimberly and Will on the impending arrival of your baby. Best wishes Gayle on your new job opportunity.

21.01.2022 Tick Removal: an age-old dilemma. Many solutions tried and tested. The latest is the best so far!! Have a look at how we are removing ticks at TEEC: Cotton bud, dishwashing liquid and an anti-clockwise motion. Fantastic!

19.01.2022 An update from our Year 6 students at Tinaroo Environmental Education Centre... This morning, a group of students learnt how to work as a team to paddle their c...anoes. They spent lots of time zigzagging across the lake. After lunch, they headed into the bush, and learnt how to use a compass and map! They then headed off to find a number of animal signs, and used their new compass and map reading skills to match them to markers on the map. They used confidence, resilience and getting along to be able to complete the activity. See more

18.01.2022 What a beautiful day it was at Tinaroo Environmental Education Centre today! 6C and 6L enjoyed abseiling, while 6J, 6B & 6M had a great time orienteering, taking turns on the giant swing and scoop netting.

14.01.2022 It's National NAIDOC Week! To help celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history and culture, this week we'll be sharing the traditional weather knowl...edge gathered by Australian communities over thousands of years. SeptemberNovember is Laju (the hot season) in the seasonal calendar of the Yawuru peoplethe native title holders of land and sea in and around Broome, Western Australia. From October to November is the build up to the wet season, when the days are very warm and the humidity is high. The first rains indicate the end of Laja. It is a time when the seed pods of the various acacias (soap tree, pindan wattle) have split open. The wild pear and cocky apple are bearing fruit but it is not ripe yet. The white gum trees are flowering and attract the honey fly. The honey fly makes honey nests in the Jigily tree and Inland Bloodwood which is collected and eaten. Wood and bark from the paperbark is collected for shelters in preparation for the wet. Explore our Indigenous Weather Knowledge website at http://www.bom.gov.au/iwk/ #NAIDOC2020

13.01.2022 In 2018, Year 5 student Tessa Freeman completed some outstanding research on how various sunscreens affected the Great Barrier Reef. This was completed while she was a student at Yungaburra State School and participating in our year long "Science and Sustainability Enrichment Program". Imagine her surprise when she recently visited a local Pro Dive shop to find reef safe sunscreen on sale, together with copies of the information pamphlet she had produced whilst part of our program. How fantastic is this??

11.01.2022 Good morning from beautiful Lake Tinaroo. The Year 6s have had a good night - BBQ dinner followed by some games, photos and bed. Here are some photos from their adventures yesterday afternoon and our view this morning.

09.01.2022 Activities are underway at Tinaroo for our Year 6 students!

08.01.2022 Selected Redlynch State College students attended the Indigenous Leaders of Tomorrow (ILT) camp at the Tinaroo Environmental Educational Centre this week.

These activities were designed to impart leadership skills - communication, planning, teamwork and becoming the leader within.

08.01.2022 Here is a Red Peter holding a Blue Peter. The P or Papa Signal Flag (aka ‘Blue Peter’) The flag is a signal of recall prior to a ship leaving port. It has been used by the Royal Navy since the 1770s. In sailing racing, the Blue Peter is raised 4 minutes before the start of a race and lowered 1 minute before the start. The Outward Bound organisation use the Blue Peter as a token or symbol of starting out on new challenges after the completion of a course.... The presentation to Peter of a ‘Blue Peter’ flag acknowledges his life time of sailing, as a competitor and as a coach and mentor. It also recognises setting out on the new adventure of retirement.

07.01.2022 Here we are at Lake Tinaroo, With our Goondi State Year 5 crew. Our first mission was building a raft, We quickly realised it’s not our craft. Today we did hig...h ropes, we conquered our fears, We looked down from treetops and heard all the cheers. We picked up our hats, water bottles and paddles, Looking for invertebrates from kayak saddles. The rad kitchen staff whip up a good feed, A chicken parmi is all that we need.
