Meet this year’s adorable Central Queensland Christian College Prep Class: Samuel S., Ei-Seul, Ethan, Samuel M., Brielle and Stephen (Left to Right). The long-awaited first day of school was very exciting for the Preps, parents, teachers and older students. Little Samuel M. was enjoying school so much, he declared he would bring his bed to school so he could live in his classroom!

Dear Parents,

Please note on the weeks where there is a Public Holiday or a Pupil Free Day, our timetable is altered.

Wednesday will be a 'Day 2.' Prep - Year 3 will wear sports uniform.
Thursday is a 'Day 4.' Prep – Year 3 will be in sports uniform again.
Friday is a 'Day 5.' Year 4 – 12 will be in sports uniform.

Because there is no 'Day 3' this week, Year 4 – 12 will not be having a swimming lesson.

Altering our timetable in this way means that subjects timetabled for Monday aren't missed, as a lot of Public Holidays fall on Mondays.

Dear Parents,

Emily S. is completing her Year 12 this year and has some spare periods she is making available for young piano beginners. She is offering to give lessons to students in Prep – Year 5.

Lessons will be held in the last session on Monday and Wednesday afternoons.

The cost will be $10 for 20 minutes or $15 for 30 minutes.

Piano students will need a $15 music book, provided by Emily, and a standard exercise book.

You will also be informed of what students are studying this term, homework and assignment expectations, and how to keep communication flowing between yourself and the teacher.

Dear Parents,

Welcome to Term 3! At our Assembly on Monday I thought everyone looked taller – I think they’ve all grown over the holidays. The school has grown in another way – we have four Korean students joining us for Term 3. We always enjoy making new friends and are glad to have another group visit.
