12th Aug 2025

Last week, we celebrated Education Week with Ben Lomond Public School and Chandler Public School. We held our annual public speaking competition. The quality of speeches was excellent and congratulations to Rivah Kennedy who won the Early Stage One Public Speaking Award for our school.
Our special guest was Mr Ian Reeves, Director Educational Leadership, who presented the awards. A special thank you to Mr Greg Mills and Mr Harris who adjudicated our competition, and to our fantastic P&C who catered for lunch on the day.
Thanks to PCYC for running a footy workshop and congratulations to students for joining our Mega Band to play three pieces of music on the day.
Congratulations to our Education Week award recipients, Mikyla Patterson (Year 6 Leader), Mrs Simone Lord (K-2 Classroom Teacher) and Mrs Simone Hirsch (ACP&I) who also received a Teaching Scholarship Award last Friday. Our school truly appreciates their commitment and dedication to supporting student learning and achievement.
