Journey
Googa is located just outside of Blackbutt. The bus journey takes about 3 hours. We have a rest stop at Yowie Park, Kilcoy.
Meeting Area
A perfect spot to meet up before we head off for some incredible activities. The dorms are so close together which makes for great community spirit!
Space
There's so much space to explore. We are all looking forward to orienteering and our overnight hike.
GLPS Fete
Grace Lutheran College has their information session for new Year 7 and 8 parents on this date as well. The information session will run from 2 to 2.30pm. This time is an opportunity to introduce families to the principal, deputy principal and year level coordinators. Co-curricular opportunities for the coming year and orientation week expectations will be discussed.
The Year Seven students' performance for our school fete has been scheduled for 3:50pm to allow for families to attend both events.
Year Seven students will also be running the Glowies Stall (selling of handheld lighting devices for during the fireworks). Students can roster on for a 30 minutes time slot to help sell glowies. The selling of these devices will be between 4 and 6pm.
Students are expected to participate in either the performance or the selling of glowies. Students will be encourage to participate in both of these opportunities if possible. Going home on Monday will be a paper note where parents need to provide information on their child's availability for this exciting day.
