🐉🌿 Dragon Habitat STEM Adventure! 🌿🐉
The children’s love of dragons inspired a wonderful nature-based STEM experience.

Together, we discussed what a dragon might need to survive, including shelter, food, water and a cosy place to sleep.
The children then used natural materials such as leaves, sticks, rocks and logs to design and build their own dragon habitat.

They explored different textures, shapes and sizes while problem-solving, collaborating and sharing their ideas.

It was wonderful to see their imaginations come to life while learning through creativity, exploration and hands-on STEM experiences! 💚🐉

💙 CHILD SAFETY WEEK 💙
Every child has the right to feel safe, be heard and be treated with respect.

Throughout Child Safety Week, we’re highlighting the everyday actions our educators take to protect children and create environments where they feel secure, supported and valued.

QCCS has proudly submitted our organisation-wide pledge to NAPCAN:
🌟 “We put child safety first by empowering educators, listening to children and creating safe, supportive environments where every child is protected.”

Because child safety is not just a focus for one week—it is our shared responsibility every day. Together, we can continue creating a culture where children’s voices are valued and their safety and wellbeing always come first. 🫶

✨Celebrating Our Educators at Lowood✨
This week, we celebrated the incredible educators who give so much of themselves to inspire, support, guide and shape the lives of others. ❤️

Our Educators Day was a beautiful opportunity to pause, say thank you, and recognise the dedication, passion and heart that our educators bring to their work every single day.
From thoughtful gifts and beautiful displays to heartfelt messages of appreciation, every little detail was a reminder of just how valued our educators are.

To all of our wonderful educators at Lowood — thank you for everything you do, for the difference you make, and for the care you show each and every day.

Happy Educators Day! 🌸

Science fun with our three-year-olds!
The children mixed bicarb soda and vinegar in science beakers and watched with excitement as they fizzed and bubbled.
