Year 6 Leadership

Badge Ceremony

On Tuesday 08 March we held our annual student leadership induction ceremony.  The audience included Year 6 parents only.  For our Year 6 students this is a very important occasion where they pledge their commitment to uphold the school expectations of being respectful, responsible, safe and learners as they take on the role of leaders within our school.  All students have participated in a range of leadership and team building activities throughout this term.  Our captain roles include:

School Captains: Emma H and Matthew B

Year Level Leaders

Our 2022 Teacher Year Level Leaders (Mrs Navarro, Mrs Heenan, Mr Borg, Ms Kennedy, Mr Ramos, Mrs Blackadder and Mr Lawrence) attend regular professional development sessions with HOD Judy Loudon focusing on alignment of curriculum delivery across classes and year levels.  The Year Level leaders will also be working with Education Consultant David Curran on a ‘strengths based team work’ and developing leadership skills.

COVID restrictions

With the relaxation of COVID restrictions in Queensland, state schools have returned to COVID normal operations and the restrictions that were part of the Back to school plan have been lifted. Parents, carers, volunteers, contractors and other visitors are welcome on school sites. Camps, excursions, assemblies and large gatherings have now recommenced. Schools will continue to supply rapid antigen tests to staff and students who become symptomatic while at school for the remainder of term 1.
