Schools

POMONA & District Community Kindergarten was successful in its application for part of this year’s Woolworths Junior Landcare Grant.

The grant is for reinvigorating the kindy’s vegetable garden and installing a native beehive.

The kindy children planted some seedlings in a new vertical garden, reusing old milk and juice jugs as planters. Soil and seedlings, including flowers like zinnia and vegetables like silverbeet were added. Native Pandorea jasminoides cuttings are being propagated to plant along the kindy fence.

The children enjoyed watching the seedlings and cuttings grow roots and are looking forward to seeing and tasting the results.

Students learn about the world of work

FROM becoming a police officer to joining the Australian Defence Force, students at Noosa District State High School have learned about the world of work from a variety of guest speakers.

Pomona Police Station Sergeant Dan McNamara spoke to Year 11 Social and Community Studies students about his role in the police service, assisting the local community.

Sgt McNamara said that he was initially drawn to the excitement and drama of working for the police but has since realised there is so much more to the job than just police chases and catching “bad guys”.

The students enjoyed inspecting Sgt McNamara’s baton and utility belt (minus the taser and gun) and breathalysing friends, while Sgt McNamara taught them the ‘spiel’ that police have to perform prior to conducting a breath test, and how to best approach a car.

Australian Defence Force (ADF) members informed students about the career pathways on offer through the ADF, along with the application process and the requirements of ADF personnel.

And former NDSHS student Naomi Wilson shared her fascinating life, describing her occupations since leaving school.

Noosa Christian College students BLOOM

THIS year, the service activity for Noosa Christian College Year 4 has the theme of BLOOM.

BLOOM means to Build meaningful relationships, Learn constantly, seize Opportunities, reach Out and Mentor others.

The Year 4 Cass and Mrs Presecan discussed, brainstormed, and created the wording for the acronym BLOOM, focusing on personal goals and service to others. The students worked in pairs to write speeches to thank community organisations of their choice.

Nadikka and Lyla presented the first flowers and a speech to Smart Pups Cooroy to thank them for their contribution to the community.

They did a wonderful job reciting their speech and chatting with the Manager and workers at Smart Pups.

Each week a pair of students will visit their chosen local organisation to present flowers and thank them for the work that they do in our community.
