North Queensland Flood

Fundraiser

On Wednesday I accompanied our School Captains to

Gympie Special SS for a photo with a number of the

other schools in Gympie that participated in the Free

Dress Day to support the flood victims in Northern

Queensland.

The photo and a short story will be in the Gympie Times

shortly recognising the great support from our Gympie

State Schools in raising $5,737.65.

Student Protection Education

This Year One Mile SS will be implementing as part of the National Curriculum the Daniel Morcombe Child Safety unit to all students from Prep to Year 6. In the newsletter next Term there will be some information around the topics and the content of what will be delivered at the school.

If you have any questions regarding the delivery of this

very important part of the curriculum please contact

myself or Mrs Eastwood.

Cross Country

Thank you to all Parents and Community members for

your understanding around the Cross Country being

postponed due to the wet weather this week. We will

hold the Cross Country next Monday the 1st of April first

thing in the morning. We will run the same timetable but

we will be holding it on the school grounds due to the

work continuing on One Mile Ovals across the road.

My First Year Prep Photo

I hope all Prep parents managed to get their hands on

the Wednesday edition of the Gympie Times this week

to get your copy of the three great Prep classes we have

here at One Mile.

If you missed out and would like a picture please contact

the office as I think we may still have a few copies left in

the staffroom.

Attendance

Great job once again Year 6 for having the best

attendance last week. Our Year 6 students were our

only cohort to reach our target of 95%.

Gympie Primary Leaders Day All the Year 6 students were fortunate to attend the Gympie Primary Leaders Day on February 28th

at Cooloola Christian College. It was a wonderful day of learning about leadership, taking risks,

pushing boundaries and working as a team.

Our leaders were challenged on the indoor and outdoor climbing walls. They learnt about strategies

to increase confidence, initiative, empathy and communication. All these skills are necessary for a

lifetime of success. Our leaders had to work together as a team to conquer the Gold Mining

Challenge! They also used art to create a visual representaion of leadership. They drew this on a

calico bag and they got to keep the bag. It certainly was an amazing day completely packed with

awesome activities lead by inspirational leaders! Thanks to the Year 6 teachers for supporting an

awesome day and thanks to Mrs Cantle for organising the day.

Entry and parking via Phoenix Street or McLeod Lane. If you’re Interested in attending our playgroup please contact the office on 07-5480-2777
