Congratulations

Well done to our YSS Girl’s AFL team who made it through to the QLD School Cup State Grand Final round, played in Maroochydore last weekend. The girls were amazing and ended up in 5th place, a great result for a State competition.

Thank you once again to parents Necole Wolf and Joel Archbald for your tireless efforts with the team. Thank you to our wonderful parents for transporting and supporting the team.

Bugs Are Us!

Yeronga State School students and teachers were part of a citizen science project last year, where insects were collected and sent off for identification.  A species of insect, never before seen in Australia, was found on our grounds.  As an extra exercise, the young citizen scientists (YSS students of year 4, now year 5) were asked to draw and write their interpretation of insect adaptation to their environment focusing on our results.  Information about this new species can be found here  https://checklist.pensoft.net/article/107524/

Life Ed Parent Information Session

Life Education sessions will be occurring for year 5 and 6 students in week 8.  A parent information session is available at 8am on 21^st November in the 6K classroom.  This is a great opportunity to become familiar with the content that will be taught to the students, so that follow up conversations can occur at home. 

Day for Daniel – Friday 27^th October

Day for Daniel is on Friday the 27^th October.  To raise awareness for child safety, we encourage everyone in our school community to wear red on this special day.  The Daniel Morcombe Foundation has some terrific resources to talk about safety at home.
