Grand Avenue State School

Science Extravaganza!

Our Year 4 students & Miss Frater had a fantastic day at Forest Lake State High School for their Science Extravaganza! They had the opportunity to explore, experiment and get hands-on with a range of exciting science activities.

A wonderful day of learning, discovery and fun!

💜 Don’t forget to wear something purple tomorrow in recognition of Bullying No Way Week! 💜

Let’s show our support and stand together against bullying! 💜

💜 BULLYING NO WAY WEEK | 17–21 AUGUST 💜

Next week, our school community will be recognising Bullying No Way Week — a time to stand together against bullying and promote kindness, inclusion, respect and belonging.

Throughout the week, our students will be learning about what bullying is, how we can respond when we see it, and the important role we all play in creating a safe and supportive school community. 💜

💜 PURPLE DAY – FRIDAY 21 AUGUST 💜

To recognise and show our support for Bullying No Way Week, students are invited to wear something purple to school on Friday 21 August.

Let’s fill Grand Avenue State School with purple and send a strong message that bullying is never okay and everyone has the right to feel safe, valued and included. 💜

🚌 Year 5 Campers Are On Their Way Home!

Our Year 5 campers are officially on their way home after an incredible few days at camp! We can’t wait to welcome them back and hear all about their adventures. 💙

⏰ The current ETA is 2:50pm.

📍 The buses will be parked in the same location where students departed from.

We kindly ask parents and carers for your support in keeping the bus area clear and helping us to unload the buses efficiently. This will allow all of our campers to safely and smoothly make their way home.

Thank you for your patience and support! We look forward to seeing everyone very soon.

Day 2 ⛺️🌧️

Day 2 of camp has certainly been a wet one!🌧️ Despite the rain, our students have continued to embrace every challenge and are having an absolutely amazing time.

Their bravery, persistence and resilience have really shone through today. We couldn’t be prouder of the way they have supported one another, tackled new experiences and kept smiling—even when the weather wasn’t quite on our side! 💪😊

Last night, we had a Minute to Win It night, which was a huge hit! There was plenty of laughter, friendly competition and some very impressive (and entertaining!) attempts at the challenges. 😂🏆

Another fantastic day of memories, friendship and adventure! ❤️

Bring on Day 3! ⛺️✨

🏕️ Year 5 Camp – Day 1!

What a fantastic first day of Year 5 Camp! The children have had an absolute ball getting involved in all of the activities, trying new things, challenging themselves and making lots of wonderful memories with their friends.

They’ve had a busy day and are now looking forward to a yummy dinner to refuel before more camp adventures tomorrow!

We’re so proud of how enthusiastically everyone has embraced the experience so far. What a great start to camp!

⚽️ Soccer is coming to the oval! ⚽️

A huge thank you to our Student Council, who have funded new line markings for soccer fields on our oval!

From now on, each break two soccer fields will be set up, with umpires on each field to help keep the games running fairly and smoothly.

We can’t wait to see our students getting active, playing together and enjoying soccer at break time!

A huge congratulations to our very own Imani, who has represented Queensland in the 12 Years Rugby League team at the School Sport Australia National Championships!

What an incredible achievement, with Queensland defeating NSW in the Grand Final to be crowned National Champions! 🏆

We are so incredibly proud of you, Imani! What an amazing experience and achievement to represent Queensland on the national stage.

Congratulations to the entire Queensland 12 Years Rugby League team!

🌟 Hands-on learning at its best! 🌟

This term, we have been creating engaging play experiences to help our Preps develop the vocabulary, confidence and sequencing skills needed for their speaking and listening task.

Prep C and Prep D recently enjoyed a very special Beach Experience Day! From packing their beach belongings and setting up their spaces to exploring rock pools, building sandcastles, fishing and serving ice creams, our students had so many wonderful experiences to talk about.

Learning through play makes learning meaningful, memorable and lots of fun! 🏖️🐚🐠🍦
