5/6 CLASS
On Tuesday, Amamoor State School came together to commemorate ANZAC Day with a meaningful ceremony. We were honoured to welcome a special guest, Division 8 Councillor Gordon Maudsley, who joined us for the occasion.
Our students showed great respect as we paused to remember and honour the brave men and women who served and sacrificed for our country. It was a particularly proud moment for our Year 6 student leaders, who were formally presented with their 'Student Leader' badges by Councillor Maudsley.
Each of the four leaders took a pledge to act as positive role models, committing to uphold our school values and lead by example. It was a memorable day filled with reflection, pride, and a strong sense of community.
The Year 5/6 class are currently analysing information reports and are working towards creating an information report on a famous company of their choosing (Mr Browne is expecting to learn a great deal about dirt bikes and gaming console corporations).

Chappy
Welcome from Our New Chaplain – Chappy Kim
Hello Amamoor School community!
My name is Chappy Kim, and I’m excited to introduce myself as the new chaplain here at Amamoor School. Originally from Canada, I’m also a proud mum of two children aged 8 and 11.
I’m here to support both students and families by offering emotional, social, and spiritual care, and by promoting overall well-being throughout the school. With a background in sport, I’m passionate about helping children stay active and understand the importance of movement for both body and mind.
Creativity is another big part of who I am—I love working with art, photography, and even LEGO! I look forward to sharing these interests with the students and creating meaningful connections within our school community.
I’ll be at school two days a week, and I warmly invite you to drop by for a chat or just to say hello. I’m really looking forward to getting to know you and your children!
Warm regards,
Chappy Kim
