158 Bags of Hope: Immanuel's Biggest Share the Dignity Success Yet!💝

🌟 Our hearts are full after Saturday's incredible 'Share the Dignity - It's in the Bag' morning! Together, our Immanuel community created 158 bags filled with essential items and heartfelt notes of love and support.

With delicious cakes, great company, and generous raffle participants, we raised $837.40 - our best result yet! 💕

Congratulations to our lucky raffle winners, and a massive thank you to everyone who donated prizes, wrote notes, packed bags, and shared in this special morning. The Share the Dignity volunteers were amazed by our community's generosity, and these bags will now make their way to local charities.

Making a difference, one bag at a time - that's the Immanuel spirit! 🙌

🌟 Celebrating Excellence: Year 3-6 Awards Ceremony

What a spectacular morning of celebration we had on Wednesday at our Year 3-6 Awards Ceremony! The joy and pride radiating through our community was simply wonderful to witness.

Congratulations to our many award recipients who were recognised for their outstanding achievements. Your dedication and hard work throughout 2024 has truly shone through! ✨

A special moment was the appointment of our 2025 Primary School Leadership Team. We can't wait to see these young leaders embrace their roles and make their mark on our Immanuel community next year!

Our talented Year 4-6 Choir (fresh from their first place win at the Eisteddfod!) treated us to a beautiful performance that had everyone spellbound. What incredible voices we have at Immanuel! 🎵

Thank you to all our families who joined us for this special morning. These moments of celebration become even more meaningful when shared with our wonderful Immanuel community.

Here's to our amazing students - your achievements make us every single day!

🌿 Celebrating Our Land for Wildlife Journey!

This week marked a significant milestone in our College's environmental story as we installed our Land for Wildlife signage along Pavement Drive. Keep an eye out as you drive in - it's a proud symbol of our commitment to protecting and preserving the precious rainforest that calls our campus home!

Our stunning 8-hectare rainforest isn't just a beautiful backdrop - it's a thriving ecosystem and vital wildlife corridor on the Sunshine Coast. From our resident koalas to our diverse bird species, this space plays a crucial role in protecting our native wildlife for generations to come.

We were honoured to have Chad Oliver from Sunshine Coast Council join us for this monumental occasion. Mrs Eloise Beveridge and our passionate Secondary School Eco Club leaders shared their inspiring environmental vision, while our PS Environmental Captains and Kids in Action delegates showed that environmental leadership starts young at Immanuel!

The SS Eco Club's delicious native cuisine snacks were a highlight - proving that sustainability can be seriously tasty! 🌱

Joining the Land for Wildlife network connects us with like-minded properties across Queensland who share our commitment to conservation. Together, we're creating safe havens for our precious native wildlife and helping protect the biodiversity that makes our region so special.

This signage represents more than just our environmental certification - it's a daily reminder of our ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and our responsibility to protect the natural wonders that surround us. 🦋 🐨

🏀 That's A Wrap for Friday Night Basketball!

What an incredible season of hoops! Our basketball stars shone bright at Caloundra Stadium the other Friday, with FOUR Immanuel teams lighting up their respective Grand Finals!

Junior F Boys: Silver medallists 🥈
Junior B Boys: Silver medallists 🥈
Inter A Girls: Silver medallists 🥈
Inter C Girls: Silver medallists 🥈

But here's what really makes us beam with pride: the incredible growth we've seen from every single player this season! The skill development, the teamwork, and most importantly, that unwavering Immanuel spirit - fighting until the final buzzer, no matter the score.

To our amazing coaches who've poured their hearts into developing our young athletes, and our fantastic parents who've been there cheering from the sidelines - thank you for being part of this incredible journey!

Watch this space... 2025, we're coming for those gold medals! 🏆

🚀 Student Innovation Spotlight!

Check out this incredible 3D creation by Lorelai O'N., bringing digital art to life using Blender on her MacBook! The design journey from screen to reality was made possible by our new Bambu Lab 3D printers in the Innovation Hub.

It's amazing to see our students embracing digital design tools and turning their creative visions into tangible objects. This is exactly why we love having cutting-edge technology accessible to our students - to help them explore, create, and innovate!

From concept to creation, this project showcases the exciting possibilities when creativity meets technology. Well done, Lorelai! 👏

🎭 From Page to Pod: Year 10 Drama Gets Creative!

Our talented Year 10 dramatists are taking an innovative approach to script development - turning their original works into podcasts before they hit the stage! 🎧

Why podcasts? It's brilliant really! Hearing their characters come alive through voice and sound effects gives our young playwrights a whole new perspective on their scripts. Plus, who doesn't love adding dramatic thunder claps and suspenseful footsteps? 🌩️ 👣

It's fascinating watching (and hearing!) our students experiment with different vocal techniques to truly capture their characters' personalities. Those subtle tone changes and perfectly-timed sound effects really make all the difference!

This creative process is helping our students fine-tune their scripts before the final stage performances. Talk about thinking outside the box! 🎬
