Under 8's Day

Captain Pumicestone heard it was Under 8’s day at Pumicestone State School so he decided to drop in all the way from Spain where he was spending a little time off with the Easter bunny after helping him deliver all of his chocolates over Easter!

He said hello to all the Firefighters who already knew him from him helping out the local crew!

He then swept down to have a go of some of the awesome actives held by Camp Australia, Caboolture State High School, Vision Australia, Autism QLD and the Early Years Place.

After all the activities he wash famished so he finished his visit with a yummy biscuit decorated by our amazing P and C!

Thanks for visiting Under 8’s day Capt Pumicestone! I’m sure we will see you back soon!

National Reconciliation Week

Last week was National Reconciliation Week

National Reconciliation Week is when Australia acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People as the original custodians of our land.

The day before the start of National Reconciliation Week, 26th May, is National Sorry Day, first held in Sydney in 1998 and now commemorated annually to honour the Stolen Generation.

National Reconciliation Week is celebrated by businesses, schools, early learning services, organisations, and individuals right across Australia. There are hundreds of events held at this time each year, including walking tours, picnics and much more.

We created a hand garden to show our support for reconciliation!
