Cameron Smith, Petero Civoniceva, Kurt Gidley and Nathan Hindmarsh joined us for about an Wednesday February 9 hour and spoke to the whole school in our new multi-purpose centre. They answered Whole School Assembly the children’s questions and had the chance to give away some NRL merchandise, some of which we will look to use for our Fete later in the year, and joined us for some Friday February 11 group photos (These are attached throughout this newsletter). They also took the time 8 & 9 yr old ‘A” division swim trials to stress to the children the importance of healthy eating habits and regular exercise. The morning was an exciting one for the children (and many staff – Iris Burnell Monday February 14 managed to snare a photo with Petero) and we are indebted to our Assistant Principal, 7pm—P & F Meeting Tony Barron, for his organisation of the day. Tony, through his Queensland Primary School Rugby League contacts, was able to snare this great opportunity at the end of Wednesday February 16 Yr 7—G.C Leadership Liturgy last year.
