Around The Grounds
2022 Captains, Senior Leaders, Student Councillors and Craigslea’s 50th Anniversary
Last week we acknowledged our 2022 Captains, Senior Leaders and Student Councillors. We began Craigslea’s 50th Anniversary celebrations with the presentation of our time capsule. This week and next week we are sharing the contents of the time capsule with every student in the school to get ready for our units of work. Next term, each year level will prepare their contributions to the time capsule that we will bury again in September.
Year 1 Gardening
Year 1 are learning to care for a special place. They have starting designing and planting out their garden. Over the next few weeks they will learn how care for the living things and how to work as a team to make sure this place is looked after.
Middle School Problem Solving Challenge
On Wednesday the 23rd of March, teams of students from around 14 different schools participated in the annual Middle School Problem Solving Challenge Day at Wavell State High School. Each team, of mostly 4 students, worked together to solve mathematical, scientific and technology-based problems. Our Year 5s and 6s had a wonderful time being challenged and working together in teams.
“It was fun and challenging” (Mikaella)

HARMONY DAY
We LOVE celebrating our diversity at Craigslea. Yesterday we celebrated Harmony Day and Say No to Bullying Day. We gathered on the top oval and watched the Pacific Islander Dancers from Craigslea State High School and marvelled at the skills of many of our ex-students who were part of the troupe; we heard information shared from our students from other cultures. Year 6 student Khatira from Afghanistan's story is particularly moving. Please Click here to read it. We also watched the dragon dance and marvelled at everyone's costumes. Break time was fantastic with a range of activities in different areas around the school. Classrooms spent some time learning about being kind online. It was lovely to see parents/carers there to join us for this special whole school assembly. Thanks to Mrs Wiles (Head of Curriculum) and her team for organising.
