🌱🔬 SCIENCE WEEK AT MUTCHILBA STATE SCHOOL! 🔬🌱
A huge THANK YOU to Samantha from Dimbulah State School for coming along to Mutchilba State School during Science Week and engaging our students in a wonderful hands-on science experience! 💚🧪✨
Our students loved getting creative, exploring and discovering as they made their very own planetariums 🪐🌎✨ and caterpillars 🐛🌿 — creations they can take home and enjoy!
This year’s Science Week theme, “Seeds of Science: Nurturing Knowledge for All” 🌱🔬, reminds us that science begins with curiosity, wonder and a willingness to explore. Just like planting a seed, every new question, discovery and learning experience helps grow our knowledge. 🌱➡️🌿➡️🌳
Thank you for sharing your time, knowledge and enthusiasm with us, Samantha! We had a fantastic time learning, creating and having fun with science. 🥰🔬🐛🪐

💙🌟 A Warm Mutchilba Welcome to Julia! 🌟💙

Julia brings with her a caring heart, a listening ear, and a genuine passion for supporting the wellbeing of young people. 💙🤝 A school chaplain plays an important role in creating a positive and supportive school community.
