We have some wonderful news for our school and our students; our Story Dog: Humphrey has a new role as a therapy dog, which means that he can now meet and support a broader range of students. 

Humphrey and his trainer Leesa are now accredited through 'Therapy and Support Animals- Australia" https://tasaa.com.au/ and volunteer their time on Friday mornings. It is amazing to watch how Humphrey can calm children in a way that only animals can and lovely to watch the bonds that grow between Leesa, Humphrey and our students. 

I have attached a photo of Humphrey in his new 'therapy dog' jacket and some information provided by Leesa about how therapy dogs enhance the well-being and learning environment of staff and students. 

If for any reason, your child can not interact with Humphrey or you would prefer them not to, could you please contact me via email: amell22@eq.edu.au or by phoning the school: 34256111. 

With Humphrey and Leesa on board any ruff day can turn pawsome and we wanted to say

thanks furry much to them both.
