LIVING HISTORY | Our Year 4 cohort was visited by 'Living History'. It was a fantastic interactive day of learning and consolidating information all about The First Fleet, our study topic for History this term.
First, we learned about what life was like in London in the 1700s. Sophia and Matthew participated in the drama performance by becoming a chambermaid and a first officer. Their story told of what possible petty crimes could have been committed in order to be arrested by the Bow Street Runners and sentenced to many years of transportation by the Magistrate to New Holland.
We heard what life at sea for over 8 months could have been like for both convicts and officers and what surprises or differences to England they would have experienced when they finally arrived.
The children had the opportunity to dress up in costumes reflecting the time period, play simple games from that era, explore relevant artefacts, and even dance a few times! It was an extremely rich experience for all involved. ... See MoreSee Less
STUDENT SPORTING SPOTLIGHT | Heidi S, Year 11, has just returned from the National Sprint Championships in Perth, where she delivered an outstanding performance—bringing home 2 gold medals and 1 silver.
To top it off, Heidi has been selected to represent Australia at the Asia Pacific Sprint Cup in New Zealand this coming May.
An incredible achievement and a true testament to Heidi’s hard work and talent. Well done, Heidi—we’re so proud of you! ... See MoreSee Less
YEAR 4 CAMP | On Wednesday 18 March, the Year 4 students attended a three-day camp at QCCC Mapleton. Set in a picturesque environment featuring rainforests, open fields and a lake, the camp provided an excellent setting for learning beyond the classroom.
Throughout the camp, students participated in a range of activities and guided discussions designed to develop independence, teamwork and their connection with God. The program offered numerous opportunities for the children to step outside their comfort zones while building resilience and confidence.
Activities included a tree-top giant swing, team challenges, swimming, canoeing, archery, orienteering and bush survival skills. It was wonderful to observe students growing in confidence as they engaged enthusiastically in each challenge, supported by their peers and the friendly camp staff.
The camp was a valuable experience for all involved, strengthening friendships and creating lasting memories. We sincerely thank the staff at QCCC plus the parent volunteers who generously gave their time to support the success of the Year 4 Camp. ... See MoreSee Less
