Congratulations to our Vic Park netball team who played 7 games of netball today in the Netball Queensland Gala Day! 🏐👏

The girls played so well as a team. They won 5 games, tied 1 game and lost 1 game, ending up 3rd overall! An unreal effort considering only 4 girls actually play netball as their chosen sport!

💕Well done girls 💕

Happy Mother’s Day!!
We had a special morning at playgroup this week celebrating our beautiful mums and nanas. We had fun painting pot plants, making gift bags and our hand print cards. We finished the morning off with cupcakes and marshmallows that we shared with our mums.
I hope everyone has a beautiful day!

One small disruption can have big impacts.

2024 marks 83 years since Australia’s first major battles in the Second World War.

The defenders of Tobruk did not surrender, they did not retreat. Their determination, bravery and humour, combined with aggressive tactics of their commanders, became a source of inspiration during some of the wars darkest days. In doing so, they achieved lasting fame as “The Rats of Tobruk.”

Victoria Park student leaders and recorder band members, along with fellow Rats of Tobruk schools; Whitsunday Anglican, North Mackay Primary and St Patrick’s College, gathered along with Returned Service League Members in Queens Park this morning to commemorate the Siege of Tobruk.

Tomorrow we have an exciting Easter party and egg hunt for the last playgroup of the term. we look forward to seeng you tomorrow morning. 🥚🐇
