Away For The Day 2024.

From Term 1 2024, students in all QLD state schools must have mobile phones switched off and ‘away for the day’ and notifications disabled on smartwatches during school hours. Our school is committed to enhancing student wellbeing and creating a learning-focused environment free from distractions.

Free 2024 School Planner.

Plan your 2024 with the new school calendar and school planner (featuring the weeks of term). Visit the Education website’s calendar page to download or iCalendar to add important school dates to your device.

5 day school weeks to continue.

Last week the Department introduced a Making changes to school hours procedure to provide framework for schools to follow regarding any proposed changes to school hours. Unfortunately, some of the media reporting and commentary on this has included a mistaken suggestion that the procedure will lead to a 4-day school week.  This is not the case. It is simply for schools who wish to make changes to start and finish times, which is a process that Moonie SS has already been through recently. Queensland State Schools will continue to be operational five days per week. 

Have a fantastic week. Only four to go!

Warm Regards, 

Belinda Elliott. 

Principal.
