Principal's Points...... The Gap State School Year 4 to 6 students participated in our annual cross country event last month. All students are congratulated for their comradery and team spirit displayed on the day. It is my pleasure to announce our age champions: 2009 – Erin and Alex; 2010 – Josie and James; 2011 – Lucy and Isaac; and 2012 – Faye and Charlie. Congratulations also to Endeavour, the winning house for 2021! Midi Strings camp took place at the end of March and was unfortunately cut short due with the early closure of schools at the end of term. Year 4 string students: Faye, Elsa, Robyn, Mollie, Mitchell, Sophia, Lucy, Isaac, Mimi, Jessica and Aiden, were however able to enjoy participating for the first day of camp.
Over the coming weeks we have several extension and enrichment opportunities for Year 5 and 6 students. These opportunities for our highly able students provide opportunities for collaborative team work while demonstrating confidence and persistence. Trials for selection in the school’s QDU Debating teams is currently taking place and the following students were successful in their application for a place in the Wavell Heights Middle School Problem Solving Challenge: Alex L, Ava, Zuri, Hayden, Samuel, Marcus, Bethan, Ridhima, James, Fletcher, Sebastian, Rachel, Alex T, Charlotte, Reiss and Joshua. Congratulations and best wishes to all students who are participating in their various events. Joanne Nicholls - Principal
