25.01.2022 Commonwealth Hotel Sporting and Social Club Donation! A $2500 donation was made to the Townsville South State School P&C as their final donation due to the club folding after more than 60 years of their community support. Doug Zundell, the oldest member in the club and past President attended with Christine Bennett the Club Secretary. They presented a giant cheque to the School Captain and Student Council President who then passed this on the P&C Treasurer. We are greatly appreciative of their support and we look forward to a great addition utilising the funding for our school students and school community. Thank you very much!!

14.01.2022 After studying the properties of some materials, Year 1/2 students designed and created an object which could hold a sandwich and orange for 5 metres and could withstand being wiped out with a damp sponge. Each chose their own materials and some even chose to fold paper after discovering it became much stronger. All students‘ designs passed the strength test today. Tomorrow - is it water resistant?

11.01.2022 The Year 3s have been enjoying the challenge of creating an object, based on their own design, out of cardboard. They are using a system called Makedo which is like a kid-friendly toolbox. They are joining cardboard pieces together, using plastic screws and screwdrivers. Some designs so far have been a car, dog, a mansion and a pet carrier. The students loved the freedom to create and construct whatever they pleased. Fabulous fun!!

01.01.2022 Year 1/2 have been retelling traditional stories in English. Last week we did the Gingerbread Man. We decided it would be a great idea to make some gingerbread cookies on Thursday afternoon to see if they would come to life. Fortunately for us, they stayed on the tray, and we gobbled them up!
