Voices on the Coast

Last week, 62 students across Years 4-12 attended the Voices on the Coast Literature Festival at the University of the Sunshine Coast. Students enjoyed listening to their favourite authors and meeting some new authors, whose books they’re now keen to read. Jacqueline Harvey and Morris Gleitzman were very popular with our junior students, while Suzy Zail’s holocaust stories based on her father’s experiences and the fantasy worlds of Lynette Noni were big hits with our secondary students. Lots of students brought books from home to get signed and enjoyed the chance to speak one-on-one with the authors.

Dragon Eggs and Tote Bags

This week in our MakerSpace Year 3-6 students used hot glue guns and paint to make dragon eggs. Due to popular demand we will run this one again next term. Meanwhile, secondary students got to be both creative and environmentally responsible by painting their own tote bag.
