Last week both Proserpine State School and St Catherines Catholic College celebrated the 70th year of Under Eights Week at their primary schools; an annual week of themed activity organised by Early Childhood Australia that promotes the importance of early learning and play, celebrating children as capable, creative and connected citizens.
Both schools celebrated the occasion with their own event, each featuring educational stalls from local organisations such as the Whitsunday Regional Council, State Government Office, Whitsunday Neighbourhood Centre, and Proserpine Museum Expo.
Primary school students were able to enjoy a host of activities such as face painting, bubble blowing, arts & crafts and music.
