🌟 Community Support Makes a Difference! 🌟

At Mutchilba State School, we are incredibly grateful for the generosity shown by local businesses who continue to invest in the future of our students. Their support helps us create opportunities, enhance learning experiences, and provide the very best for our children.

A huge thank you to Cairns Hardware for their generous voucher donation to support our Kitchen Garden Program. 🌱πŸ₯• This wonderful contribution will help us grow fresh vegetables that our students can harvest and use in their weekly cooking lessons. Programs like this teach valuable life skills, healthy habits, teamwork, and the joy of learning from paddock to plate.

We would also like to sincerely thank QLD Rural for their generous cash donation towards our P&C fundraising efforts, presented through our hardworking P&C President, Allison Heslin. πŸ‘ This support will go towards some of our long-standing school improvement projects, helping us continue to build a school environment that promotes opportunity, wellbeing, and academic excellence for every student.

It is through partnerships with community-minded organisations like these that small schools can continue to achieve great things. Your generosity is appreciated more than words can say, and your support is making a real difference in the lives of our students.

From all of us at Mutchilba State School β€” thank you for believing in our school and our future. πŸ’™πŸ’›

What an incredible weekend for the 2026 Great Wheelbarrow Race! πŸŽ‰πŸ‘ This iconic 140km event once again saw determined competitors push through from Mareeba to Chillagoe, raising funds for charity and celebrating the spirit, history and resilience of our Far North communities. Since the race began, it has helped raise millions for worthy causes.

We were so lucky to have the runners pass by our school, and we made the most of it by taking our lessons outdoors to cheer them on! πŸ“šβ˜€οΈπŸŽ‰ The excitement, energy and teamwork on display made it a day to remember for all of our students.

Congratulations to every runner, support crew and organiser involved β€” your determination and community spirit are truly inspiring. πŸ’ͺπŸš΄β€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

We had the BEST day ever cheering you all on and can’t wait to do it again next year! πŸ™ŒπŸŽŠ
