Darren Gynther - Head of Primary

Mueller College won the Redcliffe

Show’s Art Display Competition!

The display will be open for the public

to view this weekend, from Friday

through to Sunday.

The design features artwork from

students in the Primary school and is

an outstanding

team effort!

The display

includes

prayer's written

by the Year 5’s,

whilst Year 6

wrote

reflections of

'what "In

Remembrance"

Means to Me',

which are now

nicely

presented as

flip books, and

reveal some

real depth of thought. These will be a

true witness of Jesus to the wider

community on the part of the students

who wrote them.

The paper poppies were painted by our

Year 1’s and Preppies, the paper

mache hats were made by the Year 1’s

and 2’s. The illustrated 'Well

Known Anzacs' posters (soldiers and

nurses) were created by the Year 4’s,

and the nurse's outfit was made by

Year 6 students Grace Hilton,

Katherine Kriel and Annabelle Pring.

Mr Brian Critchley made the wooden

cross, come Anzac Grave marker.

The 'In Remembrance' sign was made

by some of our Year 1’s and 2’s, the

making of paper poppies and painting

of their sticks and Styrofoam supports

by several Year 2’s and 3’s. Mrs

Richens and her

Year 3 class did

hours of work

making fabric

poppies, which

look fantastic.

The painting of

the backdrop

was done by

members of the

Art staff and one

of our Year 5

students, Isaac

Chetcuti. These

backdrops along

with a poster or

two by a few

other students all work together so

beautifully!

Thanks to every student who helped

glue, paint, draw, paper mache, cut

and design to create such a fabulous

masterpiece.

Please pray with us that the community

is touched and a little of the Good

News we have to share is evident and

will impact into some people's

lives, and that the Lord is glorified.

LATE SLIPS | EARLY DEPARTURES

In accordance with Page 24 of the Parent Handbook,

parents will need to sign out students from the front

desk for Primary Admin and from Student Services for

Secondary school.

A student cannot be released from class (even with a

written note), until an authorized adult has signed the

student out first and then handed the slip to the teacher.

This policy is in place to protect students from leaving

the school unsupervised.

Excerpt from parent handbook.

7.10 // LATE SLIPS AND EARLY DEPARTURES

PAGE 24 of parent handbook

When a student arrives late or leaves early:

Primary students report to Primary Admin. The

student will be given a late slip and must hand it to their

class teacher. If a student is being collected early,

parents must sign their child out at Primary Admin prior

to collecting the student from their classroom.

Secondary students:

must report to Student Services N block, where the roll

will be amended. A late slip will be provided and is to be

given to the class teacher. If a student is being taken

home early, parents should sign the student out at

Student Services N block.

Just a reminder that the Mueller Shop will be closed the

last week of term 2, for Stocktake.

We will re-open for trading on the first day of Term 3,

Wednesday, July 15th.

The Mueller Shop has a limited quantity of Prep or

Primary jumpers available at a special price. They are

the older style pullover type with the older logo.

However, they are brand new are still able to be worn.

They are available in sizes 2 and 4, and are priced at

only $5 each.

GRADE 6 COLONIAL DAY

On Tuesday, 23rd of June the Year 6 students dressed up in colonial styled clothing to come to school for the annual

Grade 6 Colonial day.

To start the day off we marched around the A quad with Federation styled signs so the rest of the Primary school

could see our costumes. We then did activities in our class groups. Our first rotation was the outside games with Mr

Weir. The class played a game of cricket and did sack races. We had lots of fun. Our next rotation was French

knitting. Mrs Jays taught us how to make a scarf. Then we went to Miss Aston’s room and she taught us how to

make damper. Our last rotation was the photo booth with Mrs O’Loughlan. We took photos in our costumes with our

friends and class.

After this the whole grade came together again in the undercover area to take part in a bush dance. We danced to

the nut bush and heal and toe polka. It was fun! Then we had a big picnic with our friends on the oval with all the

food that we had brought. We ate lots of food and had a delicious sausage sizzle. Lastly we came back to the class

room and watched a movie called ‘My Place’ which showed us how different life was like in the early1900’s. It was a

great day.

By Tyla Malherbe and Hannah Kraus (6R)

On Monday 22nd

June the Year 6 boy’s football team travelled to Maroochydore Football club to take part in the

Sunshine Coast Regional Soccer Finals.

As they kicked off the semi final against Bli Bli State School, a light drizzle started to fall. Mueller quickly fell behind

with Bli Bli dominating the early play and were lucky to head into the half time break only trailing 1-0. Mueller came

out with some excellent play and scored 2 superb team goals by Keenan and Nick to go up 2-1 with 5 minutes left in

the game. Unfortunately Bli Bli was able to level the scores and the game went into golden goal extra-time. After

both teams had good chances it was Bli Bli who got the goal to end the game and a heart breaking loss for the boys

with the final score 2-3.

Mueller had only a 5 minute break before they headed into the third and fourth play-off match against Sunshine

Coast Grammar. In the first half of the match the boys played with fatigue and disappointment from their previous

game and went into the break trailing 1-0. After some inspirational half time talks and realising they had their last

half of football left for the season they again showed their class and skills by scoring 2 goals to give Mueller a well

deserved 2-1 win and become the third best team in the Sunshine Coast Region.

Well done to the boys for a great season.
