Dear mums, dads, carers and colleagues

This week has been slaps (I have learned that this actually means awesome in Gen Z speak).  While I am not sure if I have used the term in the correct context, I can say that our before, lunchtime and after school activities are in full swing and the school has been alive and busy.  This week saw our Mother's Day stall, Book Fair in the iCentre, GEM club Soccer training, OzTag training, Kokoda training, netball training, lego club, chess club, music practice and breakfast club.  We also had our cross country team represent us at the district carnival on Thursday and Kokoda Squad training on Saturday mornings. 

Thank you to the staff who provide these wonderful opportunities for our children.  Each of you is just amazing and I am just so grateful for all you do.

In the pool

Year 3 have been attending swimming lessons all week at the Pimpama Sports Hub.  The lessons have been very enjoyable and students have been very focused.

In the mud

Kokoda squad training went ahead last Saturday morning at sunrise, despite the rainfall from the previous couple of days.  We checked the track on the Friday in preparation for training to find the creeks running across the track.  We trained hard on the steep hills and rough terrain in preparation for the School's Kokoda Challenge on June 7 in Brisbane. Well done to the mums and dad who joined our session as well.  You absolutely nailed it!  

We will have four teams compete in the 18km event in the brutally challenging D'Aguillar State Forest in western Brisbane.  Thank you so very much to the coaches and parents who pretended that they enjoyed the mud on Saturday, and to the young athletes who genuinely did.
