Torquay State School

✨ 125 Years Luncheon ✨

Tomorrow, we are delighted to welcome past students, former and current staff, members of our local community and our special invited guests to celebrate the “125th Anniversary of Torquay State School”.

We look forward to gathering together to celebrate the rich history and wonderful memories of our school community. Guests will be entertained by our talented students through music and singing, while we take a nostalgic journey through the years with a collection of photographs and treasured memories from Torquay State School’s past.

It promises to be a very special occasion as we come together to celebrate our history, honour our past and look towards our future.

We look forward to sharing this memorable celebration with you all. ✨

✨PREP B - outdoor learning✨
What a glorious day to take our learning outside. Mrs Hobbs worked with the class around their sounds write lesson outside with chalk. Today we focussed on the sound “k”. We wrote some words with the letter “k” on the pathway and then we had to jump across the path when we said the sounds and made a star with our bodies to say the word. K-e-n = Ken. Today’s words were Ken, kit, kip. We had a great morning of learning.

This term 4/5G as part of their English unit are required to create a spoken text to present an argument for action that can be taken to enhance the sustainable use and management of renewable or non-renewable resources in our school.

Our 4/5’s have been studying how to set up a vegetable garden which we have, 🙏 thanks to Bunnings Hervey Bay who have kindly donated the vegetables for our garden and a worm farm which the students are also learning about. Students will also learn about water conservation and with all this information will write a speech to present to Mrs McCormack about why we need to have a vegetable garden at school.

Thank you to Ms G for taking this project on board to further develop our students learning and engagement. Bunnings Warehouse Australia
