STUDENTS at Severnlea State School have been kept busy with a number of activities over the past few months.
Late last term they hosted the under-8s day for all the southern schools and invited the kindy groups from in town to participate.
“It was a wonderful day with fantastic weather and with over 150 children, students, parents and teachers present we certainly all enjoyed the activities,” principal Cameron Brown said.
“Teachers and teacher aides from the southern schools came up with a fun and vast array of activities that engaged all the students. The older Severnlea students demonstrated great maturity in both organising activities and also looking after the small children.”
He thanked the fire and police services who were able to arrive and kept the children entertained. The day finished with a sausage sizzle, a bag full of activities and an experience full of great memories of Severnlea.
Meanwhile students had the pleasure of the Ambulance Service at school where they learnt a lot from the ladies in charge and were able to ring triple-zero to log a real life emergency call.
Mr Browns said school numbers continued to rise and they were looking at having two full-time teachers.
“This will enable us to continue our small school approach to learning and providing individualised care and support for all the students,” he said.
