Today's Under Eights Day was full of fun activities to celebrate this year's theme: Play – You, Me & Our Communities.
We had our local Fire and Police services sharing some valuable information for our students.
Old MacDonald's Farm brought cuteness overload with a petting zoo.
There were also dress-ups, face painting, storytime, an obstacle course, constructing recyclables, crafts, and much more to keep everyone entertained. ️
Our students were also thrilled to watch a circus performance in our CEC with talented performers showcasing astonishing stunts and amazing the audience. ️
Wrapping up their exciting day was a good ol' fashioned disco, where our Prep to Year 2 students danced the school day away with the Macarena, rock-style air guitar and a long line of limbo.
What a day!

On Saturday 27 May, our community-minded Secondary students - Lilly Rider, Rhylee Jackson, Tayla Budd, Morgan Watt, Benjamin Stanley, Connar Smith-Miller, Ashutosh Vaitha, Amelia Periaho and Maddy Mills - attended the Junior Quota Beenleigh annual 'The Big Box Sleepout' to raise money for homeless people living in our community.
Held on the courts of the Beenleigh Tennis Centre, this eye-opening night of 'rough sleeping' was an excellent opportunity for our Secondary students to see what life is like for people doing it tough and living on the streets.
Junior Quota kids are mentored by senior Quotarians who call this their Training For Life project.
All funds raised will go towards youth programs centred around the Beenleigh and Logan areas.
