The Junior School Assembly was a sea of maroon supporters with a scattering of blues supporters as the assembly was on the same day as the first State of Origin game. After a recount of what had been happening in the classrooms, Mrs Ferguson presented David Donaldson with his book voucher as his name was drawn out of the Sprung Awards box. Other class awards were presented to Gemma, Sophie, Poppy, Boyd, Taia, Lincon, Orry, Kalys, Matthew and Kia. Hank was the only student who had celebrated a birthday. Although Captain Dorran Green was still away at the Clermont Show, he was congratulated for winning the U 13 yrs Parader and Handler Award at the Cattle Section of the show.
