Emu Creek State School

Garden Makeover

Recently, Emu Creek State School was the beneficiary of a community project thanks to the staff at Bunnings West, Bunnings North and Harristown State High School’s Clontarf students.

Thanks to Christine (Polly) Pollard and her band of helpers, three gardens received a makeover, giving them a refreshing and decorative new look.

The gardens were re-designed with Australian natives and drought resistant plants, appropriate for the climate conditions along with decorative bark, decorative rocks, some creative pot stands and succulents.

Our students have enjoyed spotting the mini ornaments hidden among the succulents and have taken pride in watering the garden throughout the week.

Thank you to Bunnings and Clontarf for making Emu Creek State School a great place to grow.

Emu Creek State School’s gardens now include succulents inside a stair garden, where one pot sits atop another.

Greenmount’s swimming stars

Greenmount locals again qualified and swam at the Hancock Prospecting State Sprint Championships in Brisbane in early February.

It is a remarkable achievement for these swimmers from the tiny township of Greenmount to make the qualifying times and they are a credit to their clubs - Paige and Sam train with the Allora Swimming Club and Brooklyn with Toowoomba Grammar.

Sam, Brooklyn and Paige each received these awards which recognise their achievements.
