I’ve often spoken in Parliament about how amazing our local teachers and Principals are. After one day of “home schooling” Heath and Allegra that respect has only grown. I spoke to a very wise local teacher today who said “This week, don’t stress yourself trying to teach too much, stressed parents can’t teach and stressed kids can’t learn.” Wise words indeed at this time! Thanks so much to our amazing teachers for everything they do for our kids!We’re saying a big 👏 thank 👏 you 👏 to our dedicated teachers and school staff who are using this week to prepare online learning resources to support students, parents and carers from Term 2. Your work is vital and greatly appreciated.
The Term 1 break has commenced for Queensland state school students. Schools will provide families with direct advice regarding at-home learning activities from Term 2 as needed.

The latest round of the Palaszczuk Government's successful Skilling Queenslanders for Work initiative is now open!
Each year more participants are gaining confidence, skills and jobs thanks to these projects and in many cases the wider community benefits form their work too. I encourage interested organisations to head to www.qld.gov.au/skillingqueenslanders
At a time like this, it is so inspiring and wonderful to see our faith leaders setting a good example in our community and practicing social distancing while still hosting their Sunday Service. We are so lucky to have them in our community!
My office has had a number of calls from renters and landlords alike asking about provisions for those who've lost their jobs or are doing it tough. The Federal Government has announced a moratorium on evictions for 6 months, so you don't have to worry about losing your home during Covid19.
4074 locals know Nick (Nuck) Robson for his broad kiwi accent and willingness to help our community. His business Robson’s Pool Safety Inspections are open for business and as you can see, he’s definitely observing the 1.5 metre social distancing rule! He’s a great guy and can safely inspect your pool even in these conditions. Give him a call if you need help. And if you’re a local business who is still open, add your name in the comments!!!
