Welcome to Term 3!

It was great to see the smiling faces back at school on Monday. As a PS we extend a special welcome to the 9 new students and their families.

Year 6 > Microorganisms, Australian Federation and designing and creating their mini arcade experience for the PS students

Uniform

Now is also a good time for getting a haircut and ensuring all uniform items are clean, still fit and are labelled. Please refer to the ACC Uniform Guide on the Parent Portal for more information.

Project Based Learning in Art Design

As part of Friday Fusion, students can elect to be in the art design PBL. The aim is for students to create an art design that is for a purpose. So far we have created a variety of things that were presented as part of the Caboolture Show and the Queensland Garden Expo. We took the students to see their creations, which was an amazing experience for them.

We had some success with these items:

Caboolture Show > Fruit and Vegetable Animal Creation

1st Place - Gauri Pallikkara

Caboolture Show > Floral Design

1st Place - Keren Vinod

2nd Place (equal) - Angelina Thaikadan & Joanna Thomas

2nd Place (equal) - Neveah Drake

Queensland Garden Expo - Botanical Hats

1st Place - Chloe Toe

Operation Christmas Child

This term we are supporting the Samaritans Purse Operation Christmas Child, a project that sends shoeboxes filled with items to children in developing countries. Every 2 weeks we are focussing on a different category to bring in. For Week 1&2 this is personal care items (soap, toothbrush, comb, hair accessories). The aim is to fill 300 boxes. We are excited to come together as a community to share generosity and kindness with children around the world.
