Our 5 year old seems to have deemed himself the local virus warden.

Over the fence to our neighbour:

‘JEAN YOU NEED TO GO INSIDE’
‘Okay I will in a minute’
‘YOU’RE OLD AND THERE’S A VIRUS’
‘I’m not that old thank you’
‘HOW OLD ARE YOU JEAN?’
‘I’m 68.’
‘THAT IS NEARLY 70 JEAN.’

So proud of FVSSC staff & students!

Staff at Google, Goldman Sacks and Apple do it. And now so do students at Queensland's first vertical school. They practice mindful meditation and it's just one way Fortitude Valley State Secondary College is revolutionising learning. https://t.co/VZ3A1cpmr5 @ErinEdwards7 #7NEWS

"I would be dead without this school" is the opening line from a letter I received from a student on their last day in 2011. It moved me to tears. Read the full story in the book Purchase it by donation via this link https://t.co/JGnMBS5H0u I dare you not to cry.

A great teacher can turn a student’s life around. This story from Pat Abboud is about something bigger - a great principal turning not just his school but his whole community around.
