In April we ​had the opportunity to join our Year 5 and 6 students and their teachers at Camp Maranatha – Tuchekoi Campus on our annual camp. Camp is an experience in which lifelong lessons of building new friendships, teamwork, cooperation, respect and courage to try new things are learned within a safe and tailor-made setting for our students. Our Year 5/6 students had a wonderful time, as they engaged in activities such as canoeing, archery, and the giant swing just to name a few. The highlight was definitely the Flying Fox across the dam. A huge thank you to the staff who gave up their time to ensure the children have this amazing opportunity.​​

​As a part of their Earth and Space Science Unit, the Year 5s and 6s ventured to the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium. The students experienced a special show in  the 'Sky Dome' led by the Planetarium's resident astronomer. They explored outer space and the different stars and planets in our solar system. 

This was followed with a visit to the Botanical Gardens to further the students' biology knowledge from earlier in the year. The students discussed the adaptations that the​ plants and animals in the Botanical Gardens have that help these living things to survive and thrive. 

Later on, the students walked to the National Australia Remembers Freedom Wall where they paid their respects to the Australian soldiers that have served our country. The students were also lucky enough to enjoy a do uble-decker bus ride to and from the venue. 

It was a fantastic excursion, and the students had a wonderful day!
