Our 2nd Pre-Prep Orientation Day was filled with creativity, movement, and plenty of smiles!

Our future learners enjoyed engaging in art activities, exploring their creativity, and taking part in fun movement experiences that encouraged confidence, coordination, and connection. It has been wonderful to see new friendships forming and excitement growing as students become more familiar with their new school environment.

We can't wait to welcome our Prep students next year and continue their learning journey with us!

Our Souptember donation drive has been a great success once again this year!

Thanks to the wonderful efforts of Francesca and Lola, donations were collected through a free dress day initiative. The non-perishable food items were donated to Lucy Collier’s Community Pantry and the YMCA Cannon Hill Community Centre.

It is always rewarding to give back to our local community and support those in need. A huge thank you to Lola and Francesca for their organisation and leadership, and to our school community for their generosity and support. Well done, everyone! Councillor Lucy Collier YMCA Cannon Hill Community Centre

Today, Leo and Lola took centre stage at the Instructional Leadership CLC Conference in Brisbane, proudly sharing our school's Acknowledgement of Country video with an audience of more than 300 principals.

Speaking on behalf of our school community, they shared the story behind this special project and the collaborative journey that brought it to life. Created by our community, for our community, the video reflects the contributions of our RAP team, students, staff and families, and our shared commitment to reconciliation.

We are incredibly proud of Leo and Lola for representing Bulimba with such confidence, passion and authenticity. Their presentation highlighted the power of student voice and the meaningful impact that can be achieved when a community comes together with a common purpose.

A wonderful opportunity to share our commitment to reconciliation and showcase a project that holds such special meaning for our community.
