A morning in the life of PSSS...

I wandered around our school this morning reflecting on all that was going on.

There was that fantastic Assembly with 6D's Rube Goldberg machine and 1W's (also known as Super 1W) ideas for social learning.

Then our Pre-Preps from Peregian Springs C&K came for their time in the Resource Centre

3M have an army of parents in and they are building billy carts and doing hands on maths.

And there's Mr Wise demonstrating the LEEDR board to some teachers and a visiting Principal. And later he was putting in an order for 3D printers as we've been successful in securing a grant for Young Entrepreneurs.

I've had a meeting with a couple of young girls who are starting a small business selling their crocheted products - they are learning skills for a modern day workforce. Employers now want confident problem solvers who can speak well and collaborate with others.

And here's another student discussing with me how she plans to light up the world with a solar buddy project. This looks like it could be a fantastic Project Compassion for us in 2017.

Ms Marszalek is doing some exciting maths with 2G.

And Mrs Harbour took 21 children to Arcare today to have morning tea with the residents. The children heard stories from a 94 year old triathlete which brought tears to everyone's eyes.

About 590 children have said good morning to me with a smile on their face. And Elaine, our publicity officer, is struggling to decide which good news story to write next.

And it's not even lunch time yet...

  3. The school is amazing but so excited to hear that children went to Arcare to speak with the older community. I feel it is so important children interact with them given that grandparents are interstate. It is a wonderful experience for the residents also.
