Biggest picnic produces biggest smiles

Waybeni Buway Ngurpay Mudh held what was possibly Thursday Island’s biggest ever picnic on Friday afternoon, with hundreds of children and families enjoying an afternoon of delicious picnic food and great company.

Head of Campus Rick Cass said the whole-of-school rewards day activity was in celebration of the students achieving a collective total of more than 1000 Positive Behaviour For Learning (PBL) tickets.

He said the event was organised by the campus PBL team and Student Council – and was a huge success.

“This event was such a big hit with everyone – kids, staff and families alike, so much so, we might need to have them more regularly,” he said.

“Attendance on the day was up to 94 per cent, our highest for the year.”
