Open day for primary students

An open day for students and parents from local primary schools was held at Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina campus during Education Week on Wednesday, May 16.

Visitors were taken on a tour of the school by student leaders from the Middle School Campus and witnessed a range of activities that included dance, drama and musical performances in the performance studio.

Relieving principal Mr Frank Gasper said that "other ports of call" included the "impressive agricultural farm which is comparable to any in the State".

"Science and robotic demonstrations and gymnastics displays also proved popular," Mr Gasper said.

"A live debate between two talented college teams also entertained visitors in the school library and all visitors were served afternoon tea in the kitchens with food prepared by students and teachers from the food technology classes.

"This was one of many activities that links local primary students with their high school campus and is one of the reasons that the transition to high school has been received so favourably by parents and students in recent years."

Enquiries regarding the transition to high school should be directed to Ms Kylie Evans (head teacher Teaching & Learning) or deputy principal Ms Deirdre Fletcher on 4341 9066.
