Education week was held in Queensland schools from 17 May to 22 May, 1999. At Rochedale State School, we celebrated Education Week with many activities involving both students and parents. Every day of the week saw different, exciting activities of some kind for the various year levels.

THURSDAY On Thursday afternoon, 20 May, the Year 1 classes had a visit from the Fire Brigade. They were all so excited to see the big red engine parked on the school oval!! The children will get a closer look at that next week when it returns for Under 8's Week!!
