Th
is week four of our students participated in ‘Readers Cup’ with Mrs Whalley (our Librarian) and Mrs Mathiesen (our 5/6 teacher). The students spent their own time reading a variety of books and then went head to head with other schools around Townsville, answering questions based on each of the books. A BIG congratulations to our ‘Reading Amigos’ team for trying their absolute best and coming 9th in the competition.

EcoFest
Our Annual EcoFest is coming up this Wednesday 22nd June 11:30-12:30 (parents are more than welcome to attend!). Our 5/6 classes organise this annual event and it is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the environment and being sustainable. Each year level also showcases their eProject, and the 5/6 students work collaboratively to create their own stalls. This is a great event, with many community businesses and organisations attending, and we hope to see you there!
