ANZAC Day 2023

ANZAC Day 2023

The Cathedral School welcomed members of 1st Battalion – Royal Australian Regiment (1RAR) to The Cathedral School for our ANZAC Day Service with guest speaker Corporal Mengersen addressing the students.

The soldiers displayed their military vehicles and combat equipment, and provided demonstrations throughout the day. Students and staff also represented the school at the Dawn Service march and laying of the wreath at various locations around Townsville, including Magnetic Island and the Strand.

New playground for the Junior School

New playground for the Junior School

The Cathedral School is in the process of creating a natural adventure playground for the Junior School with the design inspiring creativity, encouraging a sense of adventure, and providing plenty of physical challenges. The open deck surrounding the existing Melaleuca tree will allow for outdoor learning experiences and become a great place for children to take a break between play.

Replacing the existing playground, the project is expected to be completed in early Term 2. Funding for the playground has been kindly provided by the school in partnership with the P&F Association, and is being constructed by outdoor playground specialists Everything Outside.
