Tully State School students have expressed their gratitude to Cassowary Coast Regional Councillors, presenting them with handmade thank you cards following this year's Under 8s Day celebrations.
Councillor Trudy Tschui recently shared her appreciation for the thoughtful gesture.
“Thank you to the students of Tully State School for the creative ‘Thank You Cards’ that were presented to Councillors who recently attended the Under 8’s day,” she said.
The cards were presented following a successful Under 8s Day celebration at Tully State School, where students, families, community organisations and local leaders came together to mark 70 years of the statewide event.
Held on 19th May, the afternoon was filled with activities designed to encourage learning through play, creativity and community connection. Students had the opportunity to take part in a range of interactive experiences provided by local organisations and community groups.
Tully State School thanked Every Family by VPG Cassowary Coast, Tully Support Centre, Pretty Things Dance Studio, the Queensland Ambulance Service and Queensland Police Service for helping make the day memorable for students.
The school also welcomed Mayor Teresa Millwood and Councillors Trudy Tschui, Jeff McLeod, Nardia Jessop and Barry Baines as special guests.
Tully C&K Kindergarten students joined in the festivities, giving future prep students a chance to experience life at "big school" while celebrating the importance of play in early childhood development.
"Seeing our students laughing, playing, creating, and connecting was a wonderful reminder of the importance of play, community, and childhood joy," the school shared following the event.
Tully Support Centre also reflected on the day, describing it as "an absolute privilege" to be part of the celebration and to engage with students as they explored and learned through play.
The colourful thank you cards served as a heartfelt reminder of the impact community support and local involvement can have on young learners, with councillors clearly touched by the students' creativity.
