Stradbroke Island excursion

2S travelled by water taxi to Stradbroke Island to learn about this beautiful place. We saw a scarred tree (a sacred meeting place), a midden, a place of ongoing fire and we met Matt who could do amazing things like make FIRE!

Be an Anthropologist!

Today Katrina Logan visited our classroom to help us to get ready for our excursion to Stradbroke Island next week. Katrina has invited everyone to become a member of the Quandamooka Anthropology Club but to do this we have to help solve the puzzles of people past and present and to make meaning of history.

Moreton Bay

We have been learning about Moreton Bay in Geography and History. Did you know that the aboriginal name for Moreton Bay is Quandamooka and there are 360 islands in total in the Bay. The islands closest to our school are St Helena Island and Green Island. We can see them both from our school!

Athletics Carnival

Today SJV participated in the school Athletics Carnival. It was very windy and cold but we all ran fast, jumped high and caught the ball in our ball games.

Father Frank visits

Father Frank accepted our invitation to visit our classroom to help us answer some questions we had about Saint John Mary Vianney. In our Religion lessons we have been learning about our Parish and the saint that gives us our school name. Father Frank was an expert about Saint John Vianney and we learnt some wonderful new facts about this very special and kind man.
