The commencement of Term 2 has seen boarders return with a wonderfully rejuvenated approach to all things school and boarding. Only having two days of school during the first week did provide the special opportunity for boarders to engage in a number of extra boarding activities and events, which has helped settle everyone into routines and boarding life after such a well earned vacation. It is such a joy to watch boarders return to boarding and be happy to do so. Thank you to all parents who were able to attend the Term 2 Boarder Parent Support Group meeting on our Boarder Travel Day. These meetings continue to be a success as we look for opportunities to understand, appreciate, validate and improve the services to and within our boarding community. A summary of the discussions will be emailed to all parents in the next few weeks, and I look forward to working with all parents in support of our boarders. No doubt, parents and boarders took the time over the break to not only enjoy time together, but also reflect on the efforts made during Term 1 and review interim report cards.

MS PAULA PARTANEN [email protected] SCIENCE Teamwork is key... ISS International Science School – 2019 Frontier Science Two of our top Year 11 students, Felix Pountney and Elizabeth Kenneally, have been accepted into the University of Sydney’s International Science School. This programme gathers 130 top Science students from Australia and overseas for a two week residential programme. This fully funded programme will allow these students to travel to Sydney in July to take part in the programme where they will listen to inspiring talks by leading researchers, tour scientific laboratories and be part of hands-on experiments and activities at the University of Sydney. They will join students from China, India, Japan, New Zealand, Thailand, the UK and the USA. There were only 10 students from Queensland that were accepted into this programme so this is an outstanding achievement.

Science & Engineering Challenge Team

Congratulations Felix & Elizabeth!

Science and Engineering Challenge 2019 Thirty enthusiastic Year 10 students attended the Science and Engineering Challenge held at James Cook University on Wednesday, 24 April. This competition takes place each year throughout Australia and this was the second year that Townsville Grammar has entered a team. This whole day event saw a number of schools compete against each other on STEM based projects. Some of these included building bridges, constructing earthquake proof towers and building bionic hands. The challenge encouraged students to explore scientific principles for themselves and to consider a future in Science and Engineering. They worked in groups of four and their scores on each activity were added together to give an overall score for the day. The students enjoyed the challenge DR CAROLYN MOORES and were awarded fourth place. [email protected] Community Service

Community Service Leaders - Interact During Term 2 the Interact Club has already planned some exciting events. On three consecutive Tuesday lunchtimes in May we will be compiling Birthing Kits for the Townsville Zonta club. These very basic kits provide simple tools to mothers in third world countries to ensure a clean birthing space for themselves and their babies – a piece of plastic, surgical gloves, swabs, clean string and a sterile scalpel blade. These simple items can make a world of difference to the mother and her baby by improving their health and their chances of survival. Please note this year we will be running our annual Food Relief NQ Food Appeal. In Term 3 this year it will be in a slightly different format for our students. However, the aim will be to endeavour to break all records in the number of food items donated to this important local charity which distributes food items to those who most need them. Even though the weather has cooled, our Interact Club is also rolling out the Snowcone machine and our first planned Snowcone day is Friday, 10 May to raise funds for the Do It For Dolly charity, which is being nationally recognized on that day. We look forward to supporting our students and seek the support of our community as we purposefully teach our students about the incredible value of simple acts of selflessness and the importance of helping others. In acts of kindness towards others we nourish the important character strength of Gratitude. MRS KRISTELL SCOTT [email protected] School Notices SPORT HONOUR ROLL
