Roma Show: School Display
At the recent Roma Show held on Friday, May 9th, and Saturday, May 10th, St John’s School participated in the School Display alongside other schools, kindergartens, and daycare facilities from Roma and the surrounding district.
We were fortunate to be judged the best school in Category 1: Large School Display and overall Grand Champion. St John’s Kindy won the Kindy/Day Care Category.
The theme, “All life is an experiment. The more experiments the better” Ralph Waldo Emerson, was addressed by all entries showcasing how teachers incorporate experiments into all areas of the curriculum. Judge Mrs. Julie Gurthie was impressed by the efforts of all the exhibitors.
Feedback received from the Show Society Executives, locals, and visitors was extremely positive for the entire display. It is important to acknowledge the support of the Roma State College, Injune, and Wallumbilla State Schools and our local daycare/kindy providers for their willingness to showcase their students' work.
A big thank you to all the students and staff who provided samples of their work. A special thank you to Mrs. Yenda Emery, Mrs. Angela Brennan, and Mrs. Melissa Irwin for their continued support in making our display a fantastic advertisement for the high-quality education provided at St John’s School.
Category 18: Handwriting
St. John’s students also participated in the Handwriting Competition. Once again, this was a hotly contested event, with the students eager to showcase their handwriting skills. A big thank you to the teachers for supporting this important category at the Roma Show.
