Our Year 5 students have arrived at the goldfields, stepping back in time as part of their HASS studies!

They’re ready to experience a little slice of life on the goldfields and bring their classroom learning to life. Now the big question… will anyone strike it rich?

Happy prospecting, Year 5!

B Block is a hive of activity today!

The wonderful team from Hear and Say are on site conducting our annual hearing tests, helping families stay informed about their children's hearing and supporting our students to hear, learn and thrive!

We love being able to offer families access to this valuable service right here at school.

A huge thank you to the Hear and Say team for supporting our Wilston families once again.

Thanks for visiting – see you next year! 💛🤎💛

If you’re coming into school tomorrow for the start of Term 4, please take a moment to swing by Lost Property and see if anything belongs to your family.

Shoes, lunch boxes, jumpers, drink bottles… there are plenty of items waiting to find their way home!

New term, fresh start… let’s clear out Lost Property!

🎶 Stop right now, thank you very much. 🎶

School holidays are nearly over, which means 40 km/h school zones are back from tomorrow.

If you're always on the run, take a minute to slow it down around schools, crossings and bus stops. 🚸

What we really, really want is for every student to get to and from school safely.

A big thank you very much to Transport and Main Roads Queensland and the school crossing supervisors helping our students safely stop, look and cross every day.

Our Finding Nemo Jr. cast gave the school a little taste of what’s coming next term, performing Big Blue World at Assembly this morning.

And judging by the reaction from our Director, Miss Cooper… they absolutely nailed it! The photos say it all!

We cannot wait to see our fabulous Years 5 and 6 stars bring the full show to life next term.
