Last week, Ayr State School warmly welcomed some of the region’s real-life heroes for a special afternoon dedicated to thanking those who keep the community safe.
The event brought together local police officers, ambulance officers, and a Burdekin Shire Council Ranger, giving students a hands-on opportunity to learn more about the vital roles these first responders play.
From exploring emergency vehicles to participating in interactive demonstrations—including a spirited race-off against the police—the students were buzzing with excitement. One of the most talked-about moments was when a teacher was playfully handcuffed by police during a demonstration, which was met with laughter and cheers from students.
The school community extended its heartfelt thanks to all emergency service personnel for their ongoing service, courage, and care.
“Your bravery, dedication, and kindness do not go unnoticed,” the school shared.
