Bardon State School

📚🎲 SRC Library Donation Drive! 🎲📚

After gathering ideas from students across the school, our Student Representative Council (SRC) has launched a Library Donation Drive to help create an even more engaging library space.

See the flyer below for all the details 💙

As part of our commitment to Reconciliation Week, Prep – Year 2 students learnt about the Uluru Statement from the Heart and were “All In” at Forest School last week, collaging hearts to contribute to the Sea of Hearts at the Ithaca Creek Hearts Festival.

Through creativity, connection and conversation, students explored the importance of belonging, respect and reconciliation within our community.

🌟 National Chaplaincy Week 2026: 31 May – 7 June 🌟

This week, we’re shining a light on the incredible work of school chaplains across Queensland and beyond 💛

Our chaplains play such an important role in supporting the well-being of students, staff and families. Whether it’s lending a listening ear, offering guidance, or simply being a friendly face, they help create a safe and caring environment where everyone feels valued and supported.

At Bardon State School, we’re so grateful for Chappy Sue and the positive impact she has on our school community. From running Chappy Toast every Friday and Lunch Clubs at break time to supporting students through life’s ups and downs – Chappy Sue’s dedication makes a world of difference.

Join us for Chappy Pancakes Friday June 12th 🥞

Chappy Sue is a valued part of our school support team, providing a safe space, a listening ear, and support for students’ wellbeing.

Come along before school to grab a pancake, say hi, and help us celebrate the important role our chaplain plays in our community.

A huge thank you to Mrs Forrest, staff, our Yr 6/5 student leaders, and local emergency services for an amazing Under 8's Day!
Students within the school, and community, had a fantastic morning playing, investigating, making and exploring together!

🌟 Happy Guidance Officer Week! 🌟

This week, we celebrate the incredible work of our Guidance Officers who make such a meaningful difference in the lives of our students, staff and school communities.

Guidance Officers play a vital role in supporting the well-being, mental health and academic success of our students. Whether it’s offering a listening ear, helping students navigate challenges, or guiding them towards their future goals, their dedication and care are truly inspiring.

To our Guidance Officer, the incredible Carla Loughnane, thank you for your compassion, expertise and unwavering commitment to creating safe, inclusive and supportive learning environments for our students at Bardon State School - we are so grateful for everything you do.

Today, Bardon State School came together to honour ANZAC Day.

Each class created a beautiful wreath, which our SRC Class Representatives respectfully laid during the assembly. Our choir sang beautifully, setting a reflective tone as we paused to remember the bravery, sacrifice, and spirit of the Australian and New Zealand servicemen and women who have served and continue to serve our nations.

We were honoured to be joined by special guests, retired Commander Robert West and retired Captain Rodney Williams, who both served in the Royal Australian Navy and are representatives of the Ashgrove-Bardon RSL.

Following the assembly, families and guests shared ANZAC biscuits, tea and coffee together.

🌹 Lest we forget 🌹
