Engagement and Wellbeing Survey

We know that wellbeing and engagement are important parts of your child’s life at school. The department and Yeronga State School are looking at ways to collect information on these important areas so we can support our students in the best way possible.

The Queensland Engagement and Wellbeing (QEW) Survey is designed to measure how state school students view their wellbeing and engagement. Results from this survey will tell us about students’ levels of wellbeing and engagement. This information will allow us to better support our students and meet their needs. Students in years 4-6 took part in this survey last term.  The results of this survey are being collated and will be provided to Yeronga State School shortly. 

Rubbish around the School

A reminder to the school community to please be mindful of the rubbish that’s left around the school.  There are plenty of bins available for general waste, recycling and Containers 4 Change.  Let’s keep Yeronga beautiful!

Yeronga Yabby ‘Snap Snaps’

Introducing the YERONGA YABBY.  The Yeronga Yabby will replace the current ‘thumbs up awards’.  Students will receive a ‘Snap Snap’ from staff to recognise positive student behaviour aligned to our school rules and learner assets.  Snap Snaps are collected in the class ‘aquarium’ and when the ‘aquarium’ is full, the class receives a reward to be negotiated between students and class teachers.   Let’s get SNAPPING.

There will be a prize drawn at the end of term for the most active class – so keep stepping towards reaching this prize.

The individual prizes that were drawn at the end of Term 2 went to (insert drumroll):
