Celebrating Community Spirit At Clare State School’s Under 8’s Day

Clare State School became a hub of activity this week as it welcomed the wider community and neighbouring schools for its annual Under 8’s Day.

‍

The event on Monday, 18 May, brought together around 100 young students for a morning dedicated to early childhood learning, exploration, and hands-on fun.

A wide array of local organisations and emergency services contributed to the day's success, offering interactive experiences that captured the children's imaginations.

Among the highlights were the Queensland Ambulance Service display and a popular drum kit station. Students also enjoyed racing billy carts, experimenting at the bubble station, and queuing up for face painting. Creativity was also on display at the pottery hub, hosted by local artisans.

The event underscored the strong community network supporting the region's schools, with significant contributions from the Burdekin Library, Burdekin Academy, Sunwater, Burdekin Potters, and Marine Rescue Burdekin.

Organisers expressed their sincere gratitude to the dedicated school staff and community volunteers who banded together to plan, set up, and run the activities, ensuring a memorable and seamless experience for the region's youngest learners.
