Spring sees school a hive of activity

The King Island Lions Club held their annual Senior Citizen’s lunch at the King Island District High School.

 The school again hosted the event which is held during Seniors Week.

Guests were entertained by Leon Barnes and the Kinder students.

“The Lions Club’s annual Senior Citizens Lunch is an opportunity for our catering class students with real-world experiences to plan, prepare and serve guests,” principal Denise Bryant said.

“Kinder also provided entertainment to the delight of our guests,” she said after the event.

Last week was a week of camps at KIDHS.

“Grade 5/6 students spent five days in our national capital and visited a range of landmarks,” Ms Bryant said.

“This trip took many months of planning and provided a wonderful opportunity for our students.

“Grade 7/8 students spent four days at Big Lake.

“Their endurance was tested through a variety of outdoor education experiences,” Ms Bryant said.

The creative arts haven’t been left out this term.

Prep to Grade 6 students enjoyed an enthralling Terrapin Puppet Theatre performance.

‘The Riddle of Washpool Gulley’ is a puppet story that is set far beyond the outskirts of the big city, near a tiny town that nearly everyone forgot, where a dry creek bed of no special significance lays.

Once upon a time, it had been called Washpool Gully.

But the world had moved on from insignificant things, and no one had time for dry creek beds.

Except in Washpool Gully something was stirring.

Shaken by the rumble of engines and the darkening of the sky, something long asleep decided to wake up.
