A reminder that students do not have school this coming Monday, 21/10/19. Teachers will be involved in meetings and training on this day.

Tuesday October 22, we will be running our school swimming carnival. This is for both Primary and High School students. It will be held at the Mackay Aquatics and Recreation Centre in Ooralea. If you could please have your children dropped off at the pool by 8.30am, for school assembly.

During the school holidays Year 11 student Joshua Shepherd had work experience at the school, with Mr Jose, our Grounds Keeper. As part of Joshua’s work he helped set up framework in the shed, which will be used for installing a backdrop behind he the stage.

Student Work Experience

Student-Free Day – 21 October

Students from our school have recently undertaken an educational tour of the national capital. Students were given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia’s history, culture, heritage and democracy. The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion the Australian Government is contributing funding of $80.00 per student, under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program, towards those costs. The rebate is paid directly to the school upon completion of the excursion. Carlisle Adventist Christian College would like to thank the Australian Government for their contribution towards the student’s excursion, which enhances their education. The students have created memories that will truly last a lifetime. Yes, we are all still recovering to varying degrees from the intensity of the itinerary, but what a week. Four Year 6 students from Riverside Adventist Christian School in Townsville joined us, and what a great group! What an adventure! The photos tell some of the story, but with God blessing us with different things every day, we know His hand was over us. We laughed, played, flew, sang, napped, drove, explored and threw snowballs for a special week that none of us will forget. Mrs Thomas, from Riverside, was with us and having Mr Skinner and Mrs Forbes supporting at every turn, the trip was such a success! We were so blessed to be able to see so many new and impressive sights in this great country. We saw miracles. We are in such awe of God, who guided and protected us throughout. Praise Him! There will be a large number of photos available to our Year 6 parents, which Mr Humphries will send via "WeTransfer" to your email address, or a USB stick (if you send one in this week). We are still waiting for some photos from other staff. Canberra is a special place and it was a privilege to take students, many of whom had never left Queensland, to these iconic and beautiful places. The words below are from our students, in response to our amazing trip to Canberra last week:

"The best part of the Canberra trip was seeing the lifeguard tower on Bondi Beach" - Jake "I think Canberra is so amazing! I really want to go again. My favourite parts were the snow and Questacon." – Isaac

Year 6 Trip to Canberra

"Canberra was the best. I really liked the War Memorial." – Mason "I have never seen snow before so the best thing was the snow." - Cameron S "I enjoyed Questacon the most. It's just full of fun rides and activities." – Olivia "I liked that we got to spend time with our friends in a different place." - Cameron B "Canberra was a great experience, learning about interesting new places and more about myself, too. I can't wait for others to experience it, too." - Dana - Mr Humphries
