Challenge Games

I would like to acknowledge the tremendous success of the challenge games camp recently held in Townsville. A huge effort from all staff involved in the planning and preparation. I would like to especially thank Mr Ethan Shaw, Mrs Fiona Radcliffe and Miss Emma Chandler for their efforts for the 11 students and their families during the camp. The feedback from the students and staff were that they had an awesome time and fantastic extra-curricular activities during the trip. A highlight was our school being spotlighted on the Townsville news. This would not be possible without major sponsorship and we are forever grateful for the kind donations from various organisations this year.

School Opinion Survey

Families and students are once again being provided the opportunity to have a say around the service we provide to our students and parents. Staff will also get the opportunity to provide feedback on their experiences here at Bowen State. Please keep at eye out for details around this important event in the Newsletter and Facebook page. Teachers will allocate class time for Year 5 & 6 students to complete the survey at school. The data received will support our school, looks for ways to improve and provides the best environment for our students.

Prep Transitions

Last week we had our first prep transition for families. This experience provided a wonderful opportunity for families and incoming preps to become familiar with the schools’ facilities and staff. We had approximately 50 families on the morning which was outstanding. Check out the Facebook page for all the upcoming key events this term.
