Career Exploration Day
On Tuesday this week, 186 students from
year 8 and 9 participated in our Career
Exploration Day. There were 9 different
groups going out into our community.
Destinations included Brisbane North Institute
of TAFE, QPAC, Redcliffe Police and Fire
Stations, Griffith University, and Scott
Damien’s Restaurant to name a few. We must
recognise the wonderful work of our staff
members who supervised each group. It was
a great day for all students involved.
Chess Classes...
Continue next term with our talented coach Matt Gilpin from Gardiner
Chess. Lessons will run on Mondays from
3:15-4:15pm in the library. Children eat their
afternoon tea before chess, once dismissed
from class. There will be 8 Mondays next term
so the cost is $40 - $5 per lesson. Please
send money in a clearly labelled envelope and
place in the cream box in the office
(roundabout). Chess is booming in popularity
and the St Eugene Chess Knockout
Competition will start early next term as it was
so popular last term.
