Term 3 | Week 2 - School News

Lytton Districts

Over the last two weeks 24 selected students aged 10-12 from Guardian Angels' have been competing at the Lytton District Athletics Event held at UQ Athletic Stadium. The students were selected based on their performance at the Athletics Carnival at Iona and for field events had to meet Metropolitan East qualifying heights and distances. 

All of the students represented Guardian Angels' in an outstanding way.  From the original 24 students, 14 made it through to Day 2 of the trials competing in semi-finals and finals. Supporting one another the students gave it their best with personal bests being attained for most. 

Please send your best wishes to Christina V, Lilly T, Memphis W, Carter B and Rocky B who move on to the next level, representing Lytton District at the Metropolitan East Trials at the end of August. Good luck to you all.

Congratulations to all of the students who represented over the last 2 weeks; I couldn't be prouder of your efforts.

HPE Teacher

Bay Terrace and Chestnut Street Black Spot Project

Please see below communication from the Brisbane City Council regarding the commencement of roadworks at the intersection of Bay Terrace and Chestnut Street.

While these are predominately night works, please be aware of the reduced carparking spaces and location of site materials at this intersection from 7 August.

Containers for Change

Remember that this year our stewardship committee has started a containers for change initiative. The proceeds will be spent improving our school environment. This will initially include our vegetable patches in Chestnut Street playground. If you are interested in helping us by saving your bottles and distributing them at containers for change then please choose us as your charity. Please use the QR code below. 

Thank you.
