Outside the Classroom
From our Resource Centre
Week 6 saw our Resource Centre transform into different types of adventures and our school community get involved in several activities to celebrate Book Week 2025.
The theme was ‘Book an adventure’! The Resource Centre displayed ‘a camping’ adventure, a ‘travelling the world adventure' and adventure ‘at sea’. Students could participate during the week in a number of activities including:
- Dress up Day on Tuesday
- A Scavenger Hunt on Wednesday
- Trivia on Friday
- An Extreme Reading Photo Competition all week
- Matching staff to their favourite books when they were younger challenge.
It was such a positive week and we look forward to Book Week 2026!
Music students honoured to play in State Program
Last weekend, fourteen of our Instrumental Music students from Years 7 to 11 were selected to attend the annual State Honours Ensemble Program (SHEP) at Mackay North State High School. These students represented our school across three days of music making, culminating in a midday concert on Sunday. Our students played in the Concert Band and String Orchestra that were conducted by esteemed guest conductors from Brisbane.
This was a fantastic opportunity for our students to perform high-level repertoire in a collaborative environment that extends beyond their regular classroom and rehearsal experiences. SHEP not only challenged our students musically but also gave them the chance to connect with like-minded peers from across the region, broadening their networks and developing their confidence as young musicians.
We are proud of the way our students represented our school, both on stage and off, demonstrating commitment, discipline, and enthusiasm. A special thank you from our Instrumental Music Teachers, Mr Williams and Mr Harries, to all parents for their support in travelling with students to and from Mackay all weekend. These opportunities wouldn’t be possible without your efforts. Congratulations to all involved.
Our Year 10 student Charli Young attended SHEP and said it was a fun experience learning new music and creating new friendships.
"The music was amazing, and our conductors made it very easy to understand," she said.
"Thanks to our music teachers Mr Harries and Mr Williams we were lucky enough to be involved in such a great experience."
