Olympic spirit and a special guest at Our Lady of the Angels' School, Wavell Heights! 🏅 With the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games on the horizon, Year 3 students from Our Lady of the Angels', with the help of their teacher Sophie Reilly, pitched their ideas about what makes Brisbane worth visiting, to none other than Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner! 🌏 The Lord Mayor was so impressed with their brochures that he took the time to visit OLA, and speak with the students about a wide range of topics, from the Olympic and Paralympic Games, to why he believes Brisbane is the best city in the world, before joining Year 6 students on the school's podcast to discuss his journey into politics and serving the community. "Giving the students a real-world context for their writing provided an opportunity to the contextual and insightful writing which our Year 3 students completed to a high level. The students were so excited about having the Lord Mayor come and hear their ideas, many sharing their amazement when he took their work back to City Hall. It was such a rich experience for all.” Learn more about the community at Our Lady of the Angels': https://bit.ly/3xIbe5P Queensland Catholic Education Commission | Archdiocese of Brisbane #BrisbaneCatholicEducation #BCESchools

Congratulations to the recipients of the Australian Catholic University's (ACU) Maths i-STEM Micro-credential course scholarships! 🎓 Awarded to 18 primary teachers across Brisbane Catholic Education, the course provides a foundational understanding of the current trends driving mathematics in STEM. Using effective teaching practices increases student engagement and will ultimately improve student outcomes in STEM. 🔬 Two teachers from St Peter’s Catholic Primary School Caboolture, Rosane Blanco Smy and Murdoch Hogan, have both been awarded scholarships. Rosane said she is looking forward to some practical, hands-on experiences that make Maths more relevant to the real world from a student's perspective. 🔢 “I hope this course will equip me to provide more engaging and stimulating learning experiences for our students that leads to ideas or projects being rolled out throughout the school."

Meet Felicity Pryer who has recently embraced her new role as Principal of St Pius X School this term, representing a full-circle moment for her and her family. “Becoming a Principal like my grandfather has always been an interest of mine, but it wasn’t until my participation in BCE’s Women in Leadership Program that I realised the potential I had to significantly influence my students' lives.” Felicity's appointment not only fulfills a lifelong goal to lead in the community her grandfather once did but is also a testament to her family's enduring legacy in the Salisbury area.
