Today, Arzarna and Zoe travelled to Gordonvale State School to represent our school at the Makers Empire Showcase.

We couldn’t be prouder of the girls and the incredible learning journey they have undertaken alongside Leo and Dakuan. Their dedication, creativity and commitment have been outstanding, giving up their lunch hours on Tuesdays and joining our fun Friday sessions to develop and refine their projects.

While we unfortunately didn’t take home the opportunity to attend the National Competition in Adelaide, we are incredibly proud of what our students have achieved.

One of the highlights of the day was seeing our students genuinely congratulate and celebrate Daintree’s Peer Trophy win. Their sportsmanship, encouragement and support for one another made us incredibly proud.

Well done, Arzarna, Zoe, Leo and Dakuan — what an amazing journey!

Yr five camp day 2 @ Holloways Beach EEC 💙 the year fives went out in the boats for the morning with Miss Duncan and camp staff and spotted a croc. After a yummy lunch prepared by Mrs Cubit, they built catapults and launched tennis balls using their teamwork skills with Miss Terri 👏 then it was time for some fun wet play before a game of volleyball and a walk with Miss Mel. Dinner was lasagne and garlic bread followed by a chocolate cake to celebrate Meka's 11th birthday 🎂 so much fun 😁 a huge thank you to Miss Duncan, Mrs Cubit, Miss Mel and camp staff Miss Terri and Mr Lance 😊 they are on their way home now after a morning of high ropes challenges 😬😲😊

Our Future Master Chefs Steal the Spotlight!

Our Year 3/4 students stole the spotlight today with a delicious cook-up as part of our OzHarvest Design Technology unit!

After recently completing a homework task investigating food wastage at home, we quickly realised that bread, cheese, fruit and vegetables are some of the foods most commonly thrown away.

Today, our students showed us that those leftovers can be transformed into something delicious!

🍳 Out-of-the-fridge omelettes packed with peas, spinach, capsicum, zucchini, feta and bamboo shoots
🥪 Savoury toast featuring spinach, capsicum, carrot, cheese and feta
🍞 French toast topped with pawpaw and kiwi fruit
🥤 Leftover fruit smoothies made by mixing up a delicious combination of fruit

The whole school did an excellent job judging our future Master Chefs and eagerly awaits the next cooking challenge!

What a fantastic way to learn about reducing food waste, making the most of what we have and creating healthy, delicious food!

Thank you OzHarvest for this opportunity.

Our Year 5 students are off to camp, while in Technologies, our Year 6 students will be getting their hands dirty with a Beach Clean Up as part of their learning. Our Year 3–4 students will also be busy in the kitchen, cooking up some delicious “From the Fridge” omelettes and French toast.

Wednesday is set to be a Wild Wednesday, with our usual Bike Bus, Miss Linda’s Ooshie Swap, and, of course, our Out of this World Family Night! Have you booked your family’s session yet? Bookings are essential, so make sure you secure your spot!

Thursday and Friday will see the Shake & Stir Drama Company visiting our school for some exciting drama experiences. Meanwhile, our STEM Ambassadors will be heading off to compete in the Maker’s Empire Showcase. We wish them the very best of luck!

And don’t forget… it’s Sushi Week! Sushi will be available on Thursday, so make sure you get your orders in.

Our Year 5/6 students have been learning about the threats facing the Great Barrier Reef and today our Year 5s took their learning into action!

They headed to the beach to collect rubbish and help reduce the impact of litter on our precious marine environment. Every piece of rubbish removed is one less threat to our beautiful reef and the incredible wildlife that calls it home.

A fantastic example of our students making a difference and caring for the environment right on our doorstep.
