r Reid and the DaVinci decathlon team returned from MBrisbane, celebrating success once again. The DaVinci team is usually made up of eight students, but on the day of the competition, one of our students fell sick and we were only able to send seven members of the team.

The competition involves teams from the best schools in Queensland. TAS is the only representative from FNQ. In an outstanding performance, the team came first in the state in the Legacy (History) division and, more impressively, second in the state in the Mathematics section. This title is one of the highly contested categories in the independent sector and includes some high-profile schools from Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Both results are a confirmation of our academic success at PETER GAZZOLA WRCP, and add to our first place in Geography the last time the HEAD OF WHITE ROCK PRIMARY competition was held.

e predicted an action-packed WTerm 2, and it certainly delivered! This term saw the anticipated return of several events that were unable to take place in 2020, and it has been wonderful to see the community’s joy and gratitude that we are able to gather to celebrate once again.

At TAS, we have many students who balance their academic work with significant sporting, cultural and other endeavours outside of school. This term saw students achieve their personal goals at a huge variety of events, including the FNQ chess competition, Olympic swimming trials, TCS and Peninsula Cross Country, state table tennis championships, Deadly 5s hockey, the Cairns Eisteddfod and more.

We acknowledge the impressive dedication of our students and the support of their coaches and parents as they pursue excellence in these fields of endeavour.>>

RECONCILIATION WEEK

econciliation Week saw us extend further on our understanding of our Nation’s First People. We spoke Rabout what reconciliation means to us as Kindergarten children in 2021. We spoke about feeling sorry and empathising with others and how we might feel if we were in the same position. Empathising for others and showing awareness of our own emotions helps us to understand differing points of view and ways of doing things, creating patient and caring children.

We have introduced a range of Indigenous stories and appreciated the artwork by using it as inspiration for our creations. We have enjoyed listening to Dreamtime stories, especially those that are from our local area.
