From the Principal
Term 4 is certainly moving forward at a
rapid pace at Gumdale. Students are
continuing to be productive in the
classroom across all areas including
reading and its relationship to quality
writing. A snapshot of what is happening in
each year level can be viewed in the
Collections from the Classroom section of
the newsletter. Activities such as
swimming and sailing lessons, band and choir groups and our
various clubs also offer students valuable opportunities for
enrichment.
Today is World Teachers' Day in Queensland and I would
like to acknowledge our teachers who do wonderful work at
Gumdale each day. Teachers, with support from parents and Always our Best,
carers, have ensured education has continued across the
country this year, despite major challenges. Each teacher plays
a significant role in the lives of children and students, their
families and communities. Join me in thanking each of our Phil Savill, Principal
teachers for their dedication, care and professionalism. Gumdale State School
Spring is here and our grounds are currently decorated with
a variety of blooms, most notably the Jacaranda tree in our
outdoor learning area. Our grounds staff and cleaners work
hard keeping school in tip top shape each day, a job made
Always our Best
more difficult by the recent storms. On behalf of our school
community, I thank them for always giving their best to keep our
school well maintained and hygienic.
