  • Wide Bay – Widgee Creek Waterwatch Network Report
    Wide Bay – Widgee Creek Waterwatch Network Report 2012 / 2013 Wide Bay Creek, Woolooga township, January 2013 Report prepared by: Brad Wedlock & Steve Burgess MRCCC Catchment Officers October 2013 This report prepared with the assistance of the Gympie Regional Council Environment Levy Disseminated August 2010 Introduction The volunteers of the Widgee Wide-Bay Waterwatch network have collected water quality data for more than 9 years which is now providing the community, scientists and government agencies with a better understanding of the characteristics of the waterways in this part of the Mary River catchment. Without this committed volunteer effort we would not have access to this valuable information. This past year saw the boom-bust weather cycle continue. Between July 2012 and January 2013 the entire catchment experienced severe dry weather with virtually no rainfall recorded during this time with many creeks drying up. Then the late start to the wet season came with a bang on the Australia Day long weekend. The Wide Bay Creek catchment at Woolooga, broke the January 2011 flood peak record again by almost 1 metre with a flood peak of 13.87m. Glastonbury Creek reported a new flood peak breaking the record set in 1955, and locals in the Widgee district reported levels of flooding unprecedented in living memory. The highest daily rainfall totals recorded at the peak of the rain event (27/1/13) in the Mary River catchment were located in the Munna Creek sub-catchment, with Brooweena recording 336mm and Marodian recording 347mm. This rainfall resulted in record levels of flooding in the upper and lower Munna Creek catchment.

School progress towards its goals in 2015 Throughout 2015, our school’s explicit improvement agenda focussed predominantly on literacy, numeracy and behaviour. In particular, we embedded the Seven Steps of Writing as a key element of our English program, which saw increased consistency of practice across all our classrooms as well as much improved student results in writing. As part of our whole school approach to the teaching of reading, many classes began implementing our very successful reading framework. Students’ reading, particularly in the lower school are consistently improving, setting students up for a very successful academic future. During 2015, we introduced our ‘Chatsworth Champions’ and ‘Rippin’ Reward’ System which encourages all students to be Safe, Respectful, Learners . Student discipline is of a very high standard at Chatsworth and our school continues to be a safe, respectful, enjoyable and friendly place to learn. All students are engaged in their learning.
