School Visit to Japan

I was extremely privileged in joining 16

students, Barbara Senoja and our

school parents, Len West, Joanne

Griffin-Klazema, Leesa Harris and

Karen Meers on a two week trip to

Japan.

I am still reflecting on what made this

experience so special. It certainly had

a lot to do with the 16 young

Australian Ambassadors we took with

us who made me very proud

of our school community. The mayor of

Sano City, the members of the I

nternational Exchange Association

and the host families treated us like

royalty. The program they organised

for us included special cultural

experiences, civic receptions, bus

tours and farewell dinners.

Soccer Champion - Jake Wallett

Our own Jake Wallett from 7A has just returned from

the National Schoolboys’ Soccer Champions. Jake

was one of only three players selected from the

Sunshine Coast.

He spent an exciting week in Melbourne, competing

against the nation’s best soccer talent. Parents,

Barry and Toni, probably had little idea about the

amount of kilometres their son was going to travel

playing soccer this year, let alone the level at which

he was about to play.

Australia Zoo Visit

All the year 3 students have visited Australia

Zoo over the last two weeks. The classes are

now busy writing recounts, poems and What

Am I? The children all thoroughly enjoyed their

visit.

WAKAKIRRI RESULTS

Mountain Creek State School students from Years 5 - 7 participated in the Wakakirri competition in Caloundra on the 8th of August. This competition is a 5 - 7 minute production on story and dance without the use of words. Our story was entitled "Be Careful What you Wish for". It was a story of a young boy who is forced to clean his room, that is until an army of cleaning sprites and his toys come to life and reign havoc on his room. We came 2nd overall in our performance after the winners Glenview State School with their Ethiopian piece. We earned a gold award for entertainment, props, costumes, public speaking and sustainability as well as silver for music and story. We won the overall category for Creative use of Props and Costumes! The winners will be shown on DVD for the finals. Thank you to all those students who particpated - we are all very proud of you! A big thank you to the teachers and parent helpers who made this possible, without you we wouldn't have been a success!
