We hope you had a refreshing break and are looking forward to next week, as we begin a vibrant and inspiring Term 4 at Silkwood. This term is a special one, filled with milestones, celebrations, and many opportunities to connect as a community.
A highlight for every student will once again be the Student Exhibitions, where learners reflect on their journey, share achievements, and set new goals for the year ahead. With parent participation at the heart of these exhibitions, they become truly meaningful moments of growth and connection.
This term is also a time of meaningful transitions and celebrations, as students move into the next chapter of their learning journey and our Year 12s prepare to step confidently into the wider world. We’ll come together to honour this milestone at the Year 12 Graduation, a cherished event that celebrates their journey with joy and pride.
Adding to the richness of the term are several community highlights. We’ll gather for our Grandparents’ Day Breakfast, offering a beautiful chance for students to share their school world with their grandparent figures.
We’ll be treated to incredible student talent at the Summer Music Concert, always a magical evening of performances.
And to wrap up the year with joy, our colourful Summer Festival of Water will bring the student together in celebration of summer and the holidays ahead.
As always, we’re excited to share these moments with you and look forward to another memorable Term 4 filled with connection, celebration, and learning.

A Glimpse into Term 3 Journey – Bringing Learning to Life
At Silkwood, the adventure of learning continues to unfold in ways that reach far beyond the classroom walls. Each term is filled with opportunities for our students to explore, create, and connect — whether that’s through purposeful excursions, inspiring incursions, collaborative projects, or whole-school gatherings that celebrate our community spirit.
This term, our Marketing Team has captured many moments that showcase the richness of life at Silkwood. These highlights reflect the curiosity, joy, and creativity that flow through our learning spaces every day.
Of course, what you see here is only a glimpse — there are countless other meaningful experiences happening all the time that often go unseen but are deeply felt by our students, advisors, and families.
We hope you enjoy this window into the journey, and the magic that continues to grow in our Silkwood community!
Celebrating Term 3 at Silkwood
Term 3 at Silkwood was alive with energy, connection, and learning in action. Across our campuses, students, families, and staff came together through sport, music, culture, and community traditions — creating memories that will carry forward into the rest of the year.
- Starting the Term with Spirit
The term began with a lively Middle School Town Hall, where students received updates, reflected on procedures, and celebrated those who shone through collaboration, support, and courageous learning projects. Certificates recognised those who went above and beyond, setting a positive tone for the weeks ahead.
A special milestone was also reached for our Year 9 students, who proudly received their personalised jerseys — symbols of their final year in Middle School. Presented by our enthusiastic Year 6 students, it was a meaningful and memorable start to the term.
- Sport and Movement
Movement and teamwork played a central role throughout the term.
Athletics Carnival (Years 6–12): Students competed with energy and spirit, from sprints to long jump. The day celebrated participation and personal growth just as much as competition, with confidence and courage on display in every event.
Mini Athletics (Years 4–5): Our Year 4 and 5 students gave it their all across races, relays, and jumps. Laughter, cheering, and teamwork filled the day, supported by GeckoSports and our dedicated staff.
Mini-Olympics (Years 2–3): Determination and joy shone as students tackled obstacle courses, relays, and field events. Middle School students stepped up as leaders, running activities as part of their PILT projects — a wonderful connection across year levels.
Superhero Sports Day (Prep–Year 1): Our youngest learners brought their imagination to life, donning superhero capes and costumes to take on challenges with courage and determination.
Each event reflected The Silkwood Way — learning through experience, celebrating effort, and supporting one another along the way.
Music
Creativity was centre stage in Term 3, with a series of performances that highlighted talent, joy, and connection.
Mini Music Concert: Students shared choral harmonies, dynamic ensembles, and group performances, with some already preparing for the upcoming Eisteddfod. Even with last-minute challenges, the spirit of teamwork shone through, making it an afternoon of joy and inspiration.
Gold Coast Eisteddfod: For over three weeks, five Silkwood music groups performed and came home with all Silver and Gold rankings. Beyond the awards, what mattered most was the passion, teamwork, and joy expressed on stage.Highlights
We are absolutely thrilled with these results, but what makes us even prouder is seeing our students connect so deeply with music and the community — singing and playing with such joy, teamwork, and spirit.
Together, these events reminded us how music and performance can connect students to themselves, each other, and the wider community.
- Shining a Light
The term closed with the Shine a Light Assembly, hosted by Year 5. It was a time to recognise student achievements across sport, music, creative projects, and personal pursuits. From the Ethics Olympiad and entrepreneurial projects to gymnastics, chess, and pony club, the assembly captured the many ways Silkwood learners express creativity, courage, and dedication.
- Community and Tradition
Connection across our Silkwood community was also a strong theme this term.
Father’s Day Breakfast: Families filled the campus with warmth and laughter, sharing conversations, breakfast, and the much-loved paper plane tradition. A special celebration of fathers and father figures in our children’s lives.
Bush Dance: A highlight of the year, this event saw the hall filled with families dancing, laughing, and enjoying the music of the Rantan Bush Band. Senior students took charge of the business side — managing stalls, ticketing, and organisation with professionalism, supported by the SCCA team.
Book Week: With the CBCA celebrating 80 years, our students embraced the theme Book an Adventure with parades, workshops, and special visits from authors and illustrators. It was a joyful reminder of the power of stories to inspire curiosity and creativity.
Spring Dreaming Festival: The term concluded with colour, music, and storytelling as First Nations guests and our community came together for a vibrant celebration of culture, creativity, and connection.

Looking Back, Looking Ahead
From jerseys to jump events, from choral harmonies to bush dancing, Term 3 was full of moments that celebrated who we are as a community. Each experience — whether on stage, on the track, or around a breakfast table — reflected The Silkwood Way in action: learning through experience, celebrating effort, and strengthening connection.
Incursions, Excursions, and Real World Adventures – Term 3 Highlights
Term 3 was filled with rich opportunities for our students to take their learning beyond the classroom — through authors’ visits, wellbeing workshops, excursions, and Real World Adventures that sparked creativity, built resilience, and deepened connections with the world around them.
- Storytelling and the Arts
We began the term with a special visit from award-winning author Tristan Bancks. Tristan held engaging sessions with students from Year 3 and Years 6–9, tailoring his workshops with humour, creativity, and insight into the writing process. Younger students were captivated by interactive challenges and storytelling games, while older groups explored the craft of turning real-life experiences into fiction.
Tristan’s connection to Silkwood, as a parent and long-time friend of the school, made the visit even more meaningful. His reflections on how our local landscape inspired his novel Two Wolves reminded students of the power of place and imagination in storytelling. The rush to the library afterwards said it all — meeting an author first-hand brought a new spark to our students’ reading journeys.
Our Year 3 students also took their interest in illustration into the real world through a PILT excursion to HOTA. In an immersive workshop, they experimented with printing and collage techniques, connecting personal interests with the practices of professional artists. These hands-on experiences gave students a deeper sense of how creativity comes to life, and how their own passions can grow through real-world learning.
Wellbeing was a strong focus this term, with powerful opportunities for reflection and growth.
Year 8 & 9 Wellbeing Day: Guest speaker Luke S. Kennedy inspired our students with his story of resilience, sparking conversations about empathy, gratitude, and mindset. Messages such as “Surround yourself with good people” and “Yourself is always enough” resonated deeply and will continue to echo in ongoing wellbeing activities.
Year 8–9 PILT Sport Workshop: Through the NRL’s Get in the GAAME program, former player Clinton Toopi used the language of rugby league to speak about mental health and supporting friends in need. Students left with practical tools for connection and support, reinforcing the importance of looking out for one another.
Year 9 Leadership & Entrepreneurship Excursion: As part of the Adventure Passport program, students tested their skills at Game Over, a high-energy environment that encouraged quick thinking, strategy, and responsibility. Reflections like “In leadership, anticipate the bends in the road ahead” showed how students connected fun experiences with real-world insights about leadership and business.
- Exploring the World Around Us
Excursions and camps brought powerful learning moments to life this term.
Year 6 Rainforest Immersion: At O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat, students explored their Exploring Totems unit by encountering the Wedge-tailed Eagle, feeding rosellas, and reflecting on their connection to nature and belonging.
Year 10 Urban Immersion: In Brisbane, students stepped into early adulthood through a rich three-day program of challenge, culture, and discovery. From climbing and bridge walks to UQ workshops, museums, theatre, and even a ghost tour, the camp combined fun with opportunities to grow independence, teamwork, and confidence.
Year 9 Real World Adventure – Tasmania: A landmark experience for our Year 9 students, this camp marked their very first Real World Adventure beyond Queensland. From snow on Mount Wellington and rainforest hikes to wildlife sanctuaries and local culture, students embraced challenge and connection every step of the way. Courage, teamwork, and resilience were built through shared meals, long treks, and moments of joy that will stay with them long after the trip.
From storytelling and art to wellbeing, leadership, and adventure, Term 3 showed once again how Silkwood students learn best when knowledge is connected to real-world experiences. Whether in the rainforest, on a city street, or sitting with an author, each moment carried the same spirit: curiosity, courage, and connection — the very heart of The Silkwood Way.
Real World Learning in Action – Term 3
Term 3 at Silkwood was full of opportunities for students to step into the real world — testing skills, exploring passions, connecting with community, and growing through meaningful experiences. These moments reflect the heart of The Silkwood Way: learning that goes beyond the classroom to shape courage, independence, and connection.
Student Journeys and Passions
We love celebrating when students take bold steps into the world — and this term brought two inspiring stories.
Charlotte’s Allied Health Pathway: From Silkwood work experience to a qualified Allied Health Assistant, Charlotte’s journey is a shining example of courage and commitment. Recognised recently by Queensland Paediatric Allied Health, Charlotte’s growth shows the power of real-world learning to turn curiosity into career pathways.
Gabriel’s Radio Metro Experience: Year 10 student Gabriel began Term 3 with a shadow day at Radio Metro, recording tags and sitting in on interviews. His interest sparked into a full internship — and just weeks later, his own live show every Tuesday morning. Whether or not radio becomes his future career, the confidence, skills, and industry connections Gabriel has gained are invaluable.
Both Charlotte and Gabriel remind us what’s possible when students step into real workplaces, connect with mentors, and explore their passions with heart.
- Sport and Team Spirit
Sport was another strong theme this term, with students showing courage, teamwork, and joy through competition.
Oztag All Schools Tournament: Silkwood entered four teams — Years 6, 8, and 10 — playing 24 games across a huge weekend. Our Year 6 Mixed team made Silkwood history by reaching the quarterfinals, while all teams displayed resilience, teamwork, and school spirit. Families, coaches, and volunteers gave their energy and encouragement throughout, making the milestone possible.
Independent Schools Cup: This year’s Cup featured a different sport each term — volleyball, futsal, and most recently, touch football. Silkwood teams competed with enthusiasm, with our undefeated Year 8 team claiming the championship. More than results, the day celebrated school spirit, teamwork, and growth through challenge.
Leadership & Connection Day: Our Year 9 Leadership & Entrepreneurship group partnered with Year 1 students for a day of games, art, sport, and environmental activities. While the younger students loved exploring and playing, the Year 9s built valuable skills in organisation, communication, and leadership — a powerful example of learning across year levels.
Real-world learning also means connecting with community and making a difference.
This term, our Senior School students volunteered at the Connect 2 Home event at People First Stadium during National Homelessness Week. Supporting services and community members, the students brought purpose, compassion, and action to their Exploring Learning Frame projects. These initiatives form an important part of each student’s graduate portfolio, encouraging them to think deeply about how they can contribute to positive change.
From the playing fields to the radio station, from community events to career pathways, Term 3 showed once again how Silkwood students grow through real-world experiences. These opportunities build skills, confidence, and a strong sense of connection — preparing our young people not just for what’s next, but for life.
In Class – Term 3 Highlights
This term our classrooms and learning spaces were alive with curiosity, creativity, and connection. From Town Halls to cultural explorations, from mud play to performances, Term 3 was filled with moments that captured the spirit of learning at Silkwood.
Town Halls and Student Leadership
We began the term with Middle School jumping straight into action at their Town Hall, where updates were shared, achievements were celebrated, and students received certificates for collaboration, courage, and supporting others. A special milestone was reached by our Year 9s with the unveiling of their personalised jerseys — proudly presented by Year 6 students as a symbol of their final Middle School year.
Our Year 4 students also stepped up, leading a Town Hall of their own. With student-led roles of Facilitator, Timekeeper, and Note-taker, the agenda covered playground matters, excursions, and ideas for Choir. It was a beautiful example of empathy, respect, and communication — the essence of The Silkwood Way.
Creativity and Expression
Learning extended well beyond the classroom walls this term.
Break Time Talent Showcase: Performing Arts Clubs took centre stage in a mini talent show, where students performed short plays, songs, and dances. These playful performances built confidence, collaboration, and community while celebrating individual passions.
Visual Arts in Year 1: Students explored the colourful world of wet felting — creating tactile artworks through soap, water, and wool. The process encouraged sensory play, imagination, and fine motor development, with new projects planned to expand their creative journey next term.
Mud Day (Prep & Year 1): One of the messiest — and most loved — traditions of the year, Mud Day gave students the chance to sculpt, splash, and create with nature. It was a joyful reminder of how play connects children with each other, their environment, and the magic of hands-on learning.
Culture, stories, and history came to life across year levels.
Year 3 – Exploring Our Pacific Neighbours
In Term 3, our Year 3 students immersed themselves in the cultures and traditions of our Pacific neighbours through a rich and creative inquiry unit.
Their journey began with Pacific Nature Tales, where students learned the Māori tradition of poi under the guidance of New Zealand mentors Belinda and Tara. Step by step, they crafted their own poi and brought them to life through traditional dance — blending movement, creativity, and cultural connection.
Throughout the term, students deepened their understanding by exploring Pacific stories, food, music, clothing, and daily life. With support from community guests, the inquiry culminated in a colourful Pacific Island Feast — a joyful lu’au that celebrated culture, connection, and creativity.
This vibrant learning journey reached its finale with the Moana Play, where students stepped onto the stage to share their discoveries through performance. Alongside the play, they engaged in authentic cultural experiences — from tasting dishes and enjoying Hawaiian dance to learning how to crack open a coconut.
Together, these experiences enriched their understanding of history, culture, and the natural world, while allowing imagination, creativity, and teamwork to shine. What a memorable way to celebrate learning and connection at Silkwood.
Year 5 Night at the Museum: To conclude their Ancient Egypt unit, Year 5 transformed the Primary Hall into a living museum. Students displayed handmade artefacts, explained fascinating facts, and even demonstrated mummification. Families experienced history through the eyes of their young historians, celebrating effort, teamwork, and curiosity.
From Town Halls to mud kitchens, from poi dance to Ancient Egypt, Term 3 reminded us that learning at Silkwood is vibrant, hands-on, and deeply connected to culture, creativity, and community. Each experience invited students to grow their curiosity, build confidence, and shape their learning journey in meaningful ways.

We encourage all families to take advantage of this resource and stay actively engaged with the Silkwood School community.
Research is clear that nutrition plays a key role in the quality of a young person’s physical and neural development. For this reason, for optimum success with a student’s learning program, we believe that students should be nourished well, and encouraged and supported to take responsibility for the quality of food they eat themselves.
Specifically, we ask Silkwood families to:
Provide lunches that are nutritious, wholesome and free of artificial chemicals, additives and colours
Provide lunches made up of fresh fruit, salads, vegetables, grains, nuts, eggs, meats, dairy, pasta or any other healthy, fresh, whole foods
Empower students to make good choices about their own food by involving them in making their own healthy lunches
Choose foods that avoid or reduce packaging and have a positive impact on our environment
Please note: Fridges are not available, please pack lunches in an insulated bag with an ice-brick. All food packaging, waste and leftover food in lunch boxes are returned home with the students.
There are some food items that are well-researched enough that we know have an adverse effect on children’s health or simply add no nutritional value to a lunch box. These foods are the ones that we ask you to exclude from lunch containers: lollies, sweet treats i.e. biscuits, cakes, ice creams, ice blocks, foods containing chocolate, sugary spreads, chips, and drinks (other than water).
Food and Nutrition Guidelines at Silkwood
Nude Food Lunches
We encourage families to follow the ‘Wipe Out Waste – Nude Food’ Guidelines and promote lunch foods without excess packaging. This reduces the amount of rubbish that needs to go in the bin to then be sent to landfill. Durable and reusable containers are a great way to bring food, as they may last from pre-school through to Senior School and beyond, providing long term cost savings and environmental benefits.
Reduce the amount of material sent to landfill to benefit the environment by packing:
Snacks/food in reusable containers;
Water in a reusable stainless-steel bottle;
Reusable utensils when needed;
A reusable lunchbox.
Tips for packing Nude Food lunches:
Help children to make nutritious, waste-less lunches and let them make their own lunches. Try packing lunches the night before and storing them in the fridge overnight.
Discuss with your child what they like to eat and how much. Be mindful of what comes home in your child’s lunchbox.
Cut up fruit and vegetables and pack them in reusable containers so that children can eat some and save the rest for later.
Reusable containers are a great way to bring food to school for lunch. Why not get your young person excited about responsible food packaging and let them choose their own containers that will last them many years!
Please note: The back playground area will be supervised from 8.00 am for those wishing to drop off their Prep child from this time.

Afternoon Driveway Pick-Up Schedule
PLEASE DO NOT ARRIVE BEFORE YOUR PICK-UP TIME AS YOUR CHILD MAY NOT BE READY FOR COLLECTION
At the end of the school day, we move a lot of traffic in a short space of time. To assist with the smooth operation of our afternoon schedule, we have a few guidelines we ask you to follow:
To eliminate car park congestion, please do not arrive earlier than the times below to pick-up your child.
If you arrive early, you will be asked to re-circulate the driveway until your child arrives.
If you arrive on time, use the drive-through pick-up system and refrain from parking if possible.
If your child is not looking out for their car, or they do not respond to their name being called, you will be asked to circulate the driveway until they make their way to the pick-up area.
If someone other than a parent or guardian is collecting your child, please let the school know in advance.
Please ensure your child’s name and year level is clearly visible on your passenger-side car visor.
When pulling up to collect your child, please ensure you stop the vehicle as far to the front as possible so that we can assist multiple families. In the Primary School, there are three vehicle spaces marked on the road to help you see where you need to stop. Our volunteers will ask you to move forward if you have stopped with a vacant bay in front of you, please respect their direction, they are there to help every child get to their vehicle safely and promptly.
Families with siblings use their youngest child's pick-up zone and the latest designated pick-up time for that zone.
For example.
Siblings of Prep-Year 1 students go to the Primary School pick-up zone.
Families with students only in Years 2-9 go to the Middle School pick-up zone.

Senior School Driveway Requirements
Dear Senior School Families,
As we commence Term 4 of the 2025 school year at Silkwood, we hope this message finds you well. With each term bringing new challenges and opportunities, it’s crucial that we revisit and reaffirm our driveway and parking protocols at the Robina campus to ensure the safety and compliance of our community. Whether you’re a returning family or new to our school, understanding and following these guidelines is essential for maintaining a secure and orderly environment.
At the start of each term, we must remind our Senior School families of the parking drop-off and pick-up procedures. These conditions are outlined below:
• At no time can students be dropped off or picked up on or around the streets near the school campus (including Laver Drive and Easthill Drive).
• Any vehicle visiting the Senior School campus must park in a dedicated ‘visitor car parking’ space located at the northern end of the building entry from Laver Drive (these parks are NOT to be used for dropping off or picking up students).
Please understand that the drop-off and pick-up rules we have in place are for both community safety and to meet the Council conditions of our approval to operate a school on the site. These are both very serious matters and failure by our students and families to abide by these conditions puts community safety and the compliance of the School at serious risk.
Campus Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures
For a smooth and secure drop-off and pick-up experience, please adhere to these guidelines:
• Designated Locations: We have arranged two convenient locations for drop-offs and pick-ups: Robina Station and Robina Town Centre. For ease of access and ample parking, Robina Station is highly recommended.
• Staff Assistance: Each morning at 8:15 am, a school Advisor will be at Robina Station to accompany any students requiring assistance to the school. This support is also available in the afternoon for students as needed.
• Departure Time: Students are free to leave for their various off-site transport options from 3:00 pm.
Car Parking at Senior School
Please note the following to ensure an orderly parking situation:
Parent/Carer Parking: Visitor parking is located outdoors, accessible via Laver Drive, offering 6 spaces. Due to the limited availability, these spaces are strictly reserved for parents or carers with a pre-scheduled appointment. We kindly request all other visitors to the Senior School campus to utilise parking at Robina Town Centre or Robina Station.
Disabled Parking: Disabled parking spots are conveniently situated on the ground floor at the southern end of the building for those requiring them.
Student Parking: Students are provided parking in the underground carpark located at the northern end of the building.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to these procedures and parking arrangements. These guidelines are in line with Council regulations and are essential to uphold for our school’s operation and the safety of our community.
Together, we can ensure a safe, efficient, and respectful environment for our entire Silkwood community.
