Teacher Workroom on the Move

Thank you to everyone who helped with clearing the area around the Teacher Workroom for removal.  A very special thank you to Joe Quirk and James Doyle for the work they did early on Sunday morning.

 Britton's Removals removed the building today with the students eagerly watching it jacked up, then transferred onto the truck and finally towed away.

Athletics Day - Go Gladdy

It was great to see the Y1 and Y2 students enjoying their participation in the Athletic Sports at South End School during the morning.

Our Y3 - Y8 students started their Athletic Sports at Carrington Park with amazing results in the relays (gaining 1st place in most relays).  Gladstone School shone at all events throughout the day both in sportsmanship and positive behaviour. Go Gladdy!

Scarecrows Big Day Out

What an amazing day we had on Saturday. Thousands of people visited the Scarecrow Fair and enjoyed the amazing stalls, foods and activities. Our monster auction alone raised over $5000.  Following the Fair people enjoy the relaxing environment of the Gobbler.  We are still waiting on the final tally to come in, which we will announce to the community as soon as it is available.  Thank you to all our school family and friends who supported this fundraising day in so many ways. A huge thank you to our amazing FOGS committee for their superb organisation of this fundraising venture.
