2 August 2024
+34
What an exciting day for our Year 2 students!
On Friday 2, August, our little scientists were treated to Street Science's incredible signature science show! With unforgettable demonstrations like dazzling fire tricks and mesmerising smoke rings, the students explored Earth's resources and the fascinating effects of forces on objects around us.
In addition to the fantastic fire and smoke ring demonstrations, our students dived into Newton's laws of physics by building and launching their CO2 rockets. They explored the exciting world of push and pull forces firsthand, turning their curiosity into action and learning about motion dynamics in the most thrilling way.
Thank you to Street Science for bringing these incredible experiences to our students and making science engaging and fun!

Our Year 7 students recently participated in the Australian Computational and Algorithmic Thinking Competition (CAT), organised by the Australian Mathematics Trust (AMT).

Open to all students regardless of their mathematics curriculum, CAT encourages logical problem-solving and critical thinking.
Our students excelled, demonstrating impressive problem-solving abilities and an aptitude for logical reasoning. We are proud of our students' achievements and ability to tackle complex problems creatively and precisely. Congratulations to all who took part in this stimulating challenge!

Blue Tongue Touch and Pacific District Sport
6 August 2024
Blue Tongue Touch
On Friday of week three, our senior touch students competed at the Yarrabilba Blue Tongues touch day. This fantastic community event hosted by Yarrabilba State College was an excellent opportunity for our teams to test their skills before the NGCAS season starts this Friday. The boys started the day well with a good performance against St Matthews, and the girls ended the day with a 3-2 win over St Clare’s. Well done to both teams, and we will carry this momentum throughout the rest of the year. Pacific District Sport
During week 3, King’s took a team of 22 students to the district trials held at Runaway Bay Performance Centre. For many of our students, this was their first time at the district level, and they performed well. Many students set personal bests over the two days, and it has ignited a love of athletics for many of the students. Well done to all who competed, and we are excited to see where the future takes you. Special mention to Estelle Reeves, who finished 2nd in her Discus Event.

In a spectacular showcase of vitality and sportsmanship, our Prep to Year 3 sports carnival unfolded into a day punctuated with joyous victories, endearing efforts, and countless memories. Amidst the bustling excitement, our young athletes leapt, sprinted, and balanced through challenges, from the adrenaline-pumping high jumps and sprints to the delightful egg, spoon, and ball races.
It was a sight to behold as every participant was fuelled by enthusiasm. It was cheered on by an equally spirited audience and demonstrated the true essence of sportsmanship: giving their best, uplifting one another, and embracing every moment with a smile.
Our heartfelt gratitude extends to the dedicated parents, teachers, and volunteers whose concerted efforts transformed this event into a seamless celebration of youthful spirit and determination. Your support was the backbone of our success.
We salute our young champions and their remarkable endeavours, reminding us all of the sheer joy found in the heart of the play. Here's to nurturing these budding talents and many more milestones!

King’s Logan Village had its first experience of competing at an eisteddfod event when we sent three of our young ensembles to compete at the Quota Beenleigh Eisteddfod.
Eisteddfods are an excellent opportunity for the students to gain valuable public performance experience while participating in community events and, when time permits, watch how other groups present and perform on stage.
Performing at the Logan Entertainment Centre, the students were outstanding ambassadors for King’s and gave their best effort.
Congratulations to the students for your dedication to learning and preparation for the eisteddfod. Congratulations to the staff for your preparation of the students - Mrs Alison Terhorst (Band) and Mr Ryan Chislett (Strings).
