Afternoon catch-up with Helensvale State School Principal James Forrest. I remember James from his previous postings, Upper Coomera State College and Pimpama. He is a very enthusiastic educator and has some big plans for the school.

Book week at Oxenford Junior Campus! Today’s book theme is the Disney classic 101 Dalmatians. The owners of the facility have spent a lot on upgrades, Oxenford Junior Campus looks brand new inside and out. Plus well done to Taryn and team for their interest in becoming active community members.

Wonderful to chat with Gaven State School students today at the Queensland Parliament House. The students debated a very important topic, the need to mandate one hour of homework every school night. Strangely, the motion passed and the students voted for extra homework.

Thank you UCSC students and staff for a very interesting morning discussing legislation. Students were keen to legislate an additional public holiday and call it Henry Parks Day.

Christian from The Sauce Studio has been busy painting an absolutely magnificent nature mural at Oxenford State School. His attention to detail is just beyond words. The students are going to love this! You can find other projects he has done or contact him at https://thesaucestudio.com
