Beenleigh Special School has a new sports day shield! It took a while to get all the artwork done but it was worth it in the end. Plus it's always great to catch up with one of the hardest working Principals Nicole Finch and it good to see she was supporting team Albert at the last sports carnival.

Construction of the new classroom block is progressing well at Highland Reserve State School with work crews preparing to lay the concrete foundations. Over the holiday period they are expecting to have the ground floor structures well advanced.

It may of seemed a simple task to have a 60kmh sign moved but in this case it was years in the making.

Beenleigh Special School was a hive of athletic activity today at their Olympic sports day. Once again team Albert with a slight advantage in overwhelming numbers won the sports day. But team Logan can be proud, vastly outnumbered they held their own and won a lot of events. Go Albert! Now I'm off to buy a new sports day shield for the school, we have run out of room on the old one.
