ANZAC Day
For over 20 years, Silkwood State School continues to host the local community Anzac Day Ceremony held at the Silkwood East Cenotaph. The community is invited to attend and we collaboratively work with the local Red Cross and Queensland Country Women's Association Silkwood Branch (QCWA) members who assist in organising wreaths and provide a morning tea for attendees after the service. This strong community engagement allows for important inter-personal generational connections within our small town on such a significant day.
The significance of this Ceremony ensures our youth and future generations will contribute to Australia's understanding of its wartime heritage and honour the service and sacrifice of its service personnel.
Giggly Friends Playgroup
All welcome!
Giggly Friends Playgroup is held in a dedicated, air-conditioned classroom at Silkwood State School each Monday where all ages from birth to Prep are welcome to attend, including parents, grandparents and carers. Playgroup is hosted by qualified teacher aide Belinda Santarossa.
