2026 SPELLING BEE

Our best spellers across the school competed in the inaugural Spelling Bee House Challenge as part of our Book Week celebrations.

Trinity were victorious with Jack taking out the win after a nail-biting tie breaker. Mr Hollis challenged Jack to a final cantankerous word, but despite their electrifying rendezvous it was a called a draw.

A big thank you to Miss Williams and Ms Orr for organising the splendiferous and hotly contested occasion.

The Australian Government’s Let’s Stop Bullying campaign is helping parents and carers to identify and respond to bullying.

Any behaviour that causes harm, or makes someone feel unsafe, is not okay and needs to be addressed. Resources are now available to help support children experiencing bullying.

The Let’s Stop Bullying campaign is part of the recommendations from the Australian Anti-Bullying Rapid Review.

The Queensland Government is also providing help to parents and carers with Parentline, available for free and confidential support for a range of parenting concerns, including bullying.
