~National Simultaneous Storytime~

The school proudly took part in this year’s Simultaneous Storytime, joining schools and communities across Australia with hundreds of thousands of participants celebrating the joy of reading together. This year’s featured book was Luna Roo ~ a fun and exciting story about teamwork and courage.

🎶 Choral Eisteddfod Success! 🎶

Our GCS choirs represented the school beautifully at this year’s Choral Eisteddfod.

On Friday, our Years 3–6 choir performed Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines and Skye Boat Song, receiving wonderful feedback for their clear diction, energetic rhythm, accurate pitch, and excellent blend.

On Saturday, our Junior Choir (Years 3–4) sang He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands and K*m Ba Yah, and were awarded 1st Place in a field of 10 competitors! The adjudicator praised their beautiful blend, clean unison, and simple singing beautifully executed.

We are thankful to God for this wonderful opportunity and proud of all our students. Special thanks to Ms Kathryn Stewart for her dedication to the choir and to Mrs Lorraine Miller for her accompaniment.

~Book Fair~

The Book Fair will be held on Monday, 18 May, and Tuesday, 19 May, before and after school.

Students making purchases must be accompanied by a parent, or their parent/carer must notify the school office in advance.

~ Years 5 & 6 Excursion~

Our Year 5 and 6 students recently visited Parliament House in Brisbane.

They enjoyed an engaging and informative day learning about the Parliament building and the Queensland Government system, which directly supports their current classroom studies.

~ Mother's Day Breakfast ~
On a chilly morning, our school community came together to celebrate the wonderful mums and mother figures in our lives with a warm Mother’s Day breakfast. Parents enjoyed delicious ham and cheese croissants, and later in the day our community group hosted a wonderful Mother’s Day stall.
We are so grateful for all the love, care, and support our mums bring to our school community. Wishing all our mums and mother figures a very happy Mother’s Day!

~Visit to the Council~

Last week, a group of our Year 6 School Captains had the exciting opportunity to visit the Toowoomba City Council, where they enjoyed afternoon tea with Mayor Geoff McDonald. The experience was both memorable and enriching, as students engaged in thoughtful conversation and asked a range of insightful questions. It was a fantastic chance for them to learn firsthand about local leadership, the unique features of the council building and community decision-making.
