We have had such a wonderful start to the school year. Last Tuesday we welcomed students back ready for 2025. We had tears (parents mainly, either of joy or realising their children are growing up) and excitement in the eyes of staff and students.

I am personally looking forward to a great year at Gympie West State School. In the next fortnightly edition I will highlight our next steps for the school and feedback from our parent information sessions from last year.
