TCS INTERSCHOOL CHESS COMPETITION

Recently, we had 20 students from Years 4, 5 and 7 compete in the TCS Primary and Secondary Chess competition with other schools in the diocese, both online and in person in Toowoomba. All students played well and thoroughly enjoyed the day. A special mention to David, who came 3rd in the Primary competition.👏

EQUESTRIAN | Darling Downs & South West Interschool Equestrian Championships

Congratulations to Mya and Isabelle, who recently represented St John’s School at the Darling Downs & South West Interschool Equestrian Championships! Despite tough weather conditions, both girls achieved outstanding results across multiple disciplines, earning several top placings and overall ribbons.

Mya and Isabelle showed wonderful sportsmanship in their positive interactions with their fellow competitors and with each other. They supported each other and took time to watch and cheer on one another in their different events.

A big thank you to their families and our school equestrian coordinator, Mrs Sandra Cusack for your ongoing support and dedication.

Both riders have now qualified for the State Championships at the end of June — an incredible achievement! We wish them all the best as they continue their journey.

YEAR 2 EXCURSION

Recently, our Year 2 students participated in an excursion to Adungadoo Pathway as part of their Humanities and Social Science unit to explore areas of significance and connection with our local First Nations people.
