📚✨ Our Symphony of Stories Book Fair is off to a fantastic start! ✨📚

A huge thank you to our families who were on the ball and ready to shop! Our students have explored the Book Fair, made their wish lists, and now we wait to see which special books might find their way home! 📖💚

Happy Principal’s Day! 💚❤️

Three cheers for the Best Principal🎉 echoed through the eating area today as students and staff came together to surprise and celebrate Ms Tass💐

Our students, along with Ms Sinclair, Ms Sue, Mrs.Stratford and other staff members, carefully planned the surprise in a very stealthy “secret squirrel” operation — and they certainly kept the secret well! 🐿️🤫

Ms Tass, we appreciate everything you do for our students, staff and the Gargett State School community.

What an inspiring visit from former Gargett State School student and two-time World Woodchopping Champion, Takiah Moore Barrett!

Our students came prepared with thoughtful questions and were eager to learn more about Takiah's journey to the world stage. She shared valuable insights into the dedication, resilience and determination behind her success, inspiring our students to dream big, work hard and believe in themselves.

Thank you, Takiah, for returning to Gargett State School to share your story and encourage the next generation of learners.

Three weeks of learning, discovery and creativity! 🌟

Our students and staff transformed into their "100-year-old" selves with grey hair, glasses, walking sticks and plenty of smiles.

From wrinkles to wisdom, everyone embraced the theme and had a fantastic day celebrating how far we've come in the first 100 days of school.

Thank you to our wonderful families for helping make the day so much fun. Here's to the next 100 days of learning, laughter and growing together!
