From the Principal
Hi Everyone,
Our students have made us proud this week with the respect that they demonstrated at our school ANZAC service. It was a wonderful service and a big thank you to our team who put it together and everyone who came along. It was wonderful to see many families attend the service at Leichhardt Park - it is the most we have ever seen. We also had students representing the school at services in different locations. Wyatt in Prep B attended the Anzac Day Ceremony with his Grandfather at Burleigh Heads where he lay flowers on behalf of the school and SASR (Special Air Service Regiment). He was also lucky enough to be pulled aside with his Pop for and interview with Channel 7.
A big thank you to those students and staff who represented the school on the day.
As you may have noticed, we have a new format for our communication, and we're excited to announce that we'll be using School Zine from now on. We believe this platform will provide a more user-friendly way to communicate with our school community. Plus, it comes with a free handy app where you can access all our communications and even choose your preferred language for newsletters.
Please click here to find instructions on SZapp app installation. After you select Amberley District State School enter PassCode 7242. There is also a link to the left to download.
You will be able to access all school email communications and newsletters via the app, this will save time scrolling emails if you need to refer back to previous communications.
This app will be in addition to QParents and QKR! but you can access both these via the SZapp app.
You may also have noticed that we are in the process of more school improvements between Year 2 and Year 5. We are clearing out this area to rebuild our community garden and putting in picnic tables to create an outdoor classroom. It will be a lovely area for students to play and learn as well as producing food for our community.
Have a soaring week!

With cooler weather approaching, please make sure that your child's school jumper is named clearly. As the weather warms up during the day, students often take off their jumpers and we want to make sure they are returned to their rightful owner.
