Rainbow Beach School News August 2020
We are really excited to be back at school and it has been great to see our students return through the gates. This semester is already shaping up to be very busy as we continue to adapt to the further easing of restrictions that impact on schooling.
We are now happy to invite parents back into the school at drop off and pick up times, please keep a safe distance outside the classroom. We do ask everyone to continue to utilise the hand sanitiser provided at the gates and to be mindful of social distancing with other adults.
We are hoping that these changes will allow us to plan for school sports events such as Cross Country and Athletics Carnival. These events are important to celebrate our school culture and foster healthy competition between our Fraser and Cooloola sporting houses.
It will also provide an opportunity for our student leaders to shine. We will be back at the top of our game in no time with student’s working towards individual learning goals and ‘visible learning’ for all.
I would like to thank and acknowledge the combined efforts of the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service, Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service and the Neerdie/ Goomborian/ Wolvi and Kandanga Rural Fire Brigades. We were very fortunate to have their support recently in conducting the controlled burn within the school grounds over the holidays.
We were very grateful for the wonderful support that we have from the P&C at our school. At the end of last term we were treated to pizzas and ice cream, a great way to cap off a long term. Thank you for your continued support of Rainbow Beach State School.
Year 5/6 News
Our Year 6s are looking forward to writing a letter to the future students of Rainbow Beach State School to let them know what life is like in 2020. Year 5 students will be given a poem to transform into a narrative story, where they can elaborate on characteristics and settings of a given time and place.
Our class felt a little empty without Murphy and his contributions to our discussions. We wish him and his family all the best on their future endeavours.

Year 4 News
Welcome to Term 3. The first day back is always exhilarating, as we meet up with our amazing students and commit to the new term’s curriculum. The class will learn many skills through a range of content.
In English, students will revisit narrative structure. More explicitly, we will examine the genre – traditional tale with a moral. From Aboriginal stories to tales from far off lands, we will be reading them all!
This term, The Year 4 students are going to plan, write and publish their own traditional story which they will then present to a younger class!
Our class continues to work together to create a respectful learning environment where students can create and pursue their own individual learning goals.
We are looking forward to this term being free from disruptions.
LOVE LEARNING!
Mrs Lawler and Mr Bennett
