Earlier in the term, we attended the Queensland Symphony Orchestra (QSO) relaxed concert at Southbank as part of our wellbeing program and community partnership with QSO.

It was such a special event that included a picnic in the Southbank Parklands and a beautiful session with the orchestra. Learners connected with each other in the community and were then so engaged in the music 🍃🎼

We are so grateful for QSO and this partnership!

A few weeks ago we held our final Junior assembly for the year!

During assembly Principal Karen announced that our new Outdoor Learning Space will open for a test run for student volunteers before the end of term! This has begun and has been so much fun 🤩

As always, the Juniors had so much to celebrate and share! Square room shared that Dut has just learnt how to use a scooter board on his tummy, using his hands and feet to move around. Heart room celebrated Rayson new verbal words – ‘bag’ and ‘trampoline’. Triangle room shared how much they loved attending the Queensland Symphony Orchestra relaxed concert.

Junior Years learners received awards for making requests and sharing opinions using PODD, actively participating in all classroom activities, grasping a long cane while participating in Orientation and Mobility activities and demonstrating resilience and confidence on the Square class’s first outing to the bridge.

Junior Years assembly finished with two songs from the Queensland Symphony Orchestra’s relaxed concert - Grenfell Rock Hopping and Tchaikovsky Dance of the Little Swans from Swan Lake 🎼
