On Tuesday 16 July our school competed in the annual Junior ATSIAP* Challenge held at JCU. This year we were fortunate enough to take two teams to compete. Every year we compete against different schools from the Townsville Region. This year there were 14 schools participating. The competition involves First Nation students participating in events including:
• Long Term Problem Solving (Dramatic Play)
• Individual Oral Persuasive Speech
• Poetry
• Quiz
• Commercial
Congratulations must go to both teams, everyone did exceptionally well on the day.
