Upcoming information for Term 2, Week9
It has been a fantastic week celebrating the Arts and seeing our students thrive and be creative. My favourite was the Passion Project exhibition on Monday morning as our community came together to explore student projects in their classrooms, celebrating the hard work they have achieved over the course of this term. As we enter Week 9, there is still a lot happening and we cannot wait to have you be part of our sports spectacular and last week of Term 2.
In this weeks publication, you will find some information about our new 4W teacher, details of our sports spectacular, our OSHC vacation care details and our regular extra curricular information and reminders.

INTRODUCING ALEX DART (4W)
I am a passionate teacher with several years' experience working in both Independent and Government schools over Queensland. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to teach a diverse range of students from different age groups and cultural backgrounds, which has allowed me a deeper understanding of individual learning needs.
Before teaching, I was focused on basketball, where I played at a collegiate Div I level in the United States, as well as other semi-professional Australian leagues. This energetic, team environment has had an influence on my teaching style, as I incorporate qualities such as teamwork and perseverance in the classroom.
Outside the classroom you will find me recharging the batteries at the beach or bush camping, going on adventures with my two labradoodles, or playing sports! I cannot wait to meet you all and to guide 4W students along their learning journey throughout the rest of the year. I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of the Faith Team!
