MS Readathon

This year, our community is embarking on a magical adventure for one incredible cause this August and you’re invited to join us!

The MS Readathon is a one-month reading challenge (though we can start earlier) that challenges students to read as many books as they can and raise funds for families living with MS.

Whether you’ve already registered, or if you’re yet to sign up, hit the link below to join our school page for the MS Readathon and get ready for the adventure of 2023!

Holiday Time!

With the school holidays now upon us, it's the perfect time for parents to have fun with their children. From visiting Billabong Sanctuary, going to the Strand, or simply having a movie marathon night, there are endless possibilities to keep boredom at bay. Why not get out and explore your local area by taking a nature walk, visiting a nearby museum or library, or heading to a nearby café for a yummy snack? Getting creative in the kitchen is also a great way to spend some quality time with your kids. With a little planning and imagination, the holidays can be an exciting and memorable experience for everyone. Time spent together helps build communication skills, literacy, numeracy, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking - these are important skills not just for learning, but for life. Check out the Townsville School Holiday Guide for more ideas!
