Pelican Brief 2025, Term 1, Issue 1
From the Acting Principal
Dear Parents, Carers, and Community Members,
What a fantastic first week back at Birdsville State School! It has been wonderful to see our students return with such enthusiasm, settling into their learning routines and reconnecting with friends. A special welcome again to our Kindy student!
We are also excited to welcome Olivia to our school community! Olivia has joined us as our new Teacher Aide and Cleaner. She brings a wealth of experience in Kindy and Early Childhood education and is currently studying for her Bachelor of Early Childhood. Her passion and knowledge in working with young learners will be a fantastic asset to our school, and we are thrilled to have her on board!
This week, we marked some exciting milestones:
First Day of School on Tuesday saw our students jumping straight into their learning with energy and curiosity.
National Lego Day was a hit! Students engaged in fun problem-solving challenges using Lego, fostering creativity and teamwork.
Playgroup sessions on Wednesday and Friday provided a great space for our little learners to explore and play.
Community Boogie and Books on Thursday was another successful event, bringing families together to enjoy stories and movement. Thank you to everyone who participated!
What’s Coming up next fortnight:
