Just what the doctor ordered on a cool morning, delicious pancake stack topped with maple bacon and mixed berries drizzled with maple syrup.

Well done to Madison and the Chinchilla Cadets for their part in the Anzac Dawn Service in Miles and then at the 11am service in Chinchilla. Also to Jess, playing in the school band marching in the Anzac Street Parade.

The Committee, Managers and Students at Leichhardt House want to send a big thank you to Arrow Energy for their community grant. The money will go towards creating a great new space for the kids to hang out and relax. These community grants go a long way to helping not-for-profit organisations thrive and expand. So again, a big thanks to Arrow Energy.

After experiencing our first Chinchilla flood event, a big shout out to the towns SES and the general public for jumping in and lending a hand to those in need, pats on the back allround. A sign of the towns resilience is how quickly the town got back on track.
We are nearly at the end of the first term of school, hard to believe only 328 days till Christmas 😆. All the house students are excelling in study and their chosen sports, with many chosen for States and Regional Development Squads, theres something special about Bush Kids, we've labelled them "Above Ordinary".
If you are looking at Weekday Boarding as an option for your child feel free to give Bev a ring for all the info on 07 46689571 or 0457929069.


Attached is a photo of a flood we had on our sheep station, it shows the mighty Murchison River a kilometre and a half wide at its peak.

Leichhardt House would like to give a big shout-out to Drakes Chinchilla for their fantastic support. Roger and Drake's amazingly helpful staff are a pleasure to deal with, go above and beyond, having all our shopping for the week ready to collect each Monday morning. So a big thank you from all the students, committee and house managers.
Leichhardt house has been accepted into the Drake's Community Dollars program.
Can everyone please download the " My Drakes" app,
select Leichhardt student residence as the recipient of the community dollars. Then each time you shop at Drakes, open the app, scan the code, and Leichhardt house will receive 1 cent for every dollar you spend. This will go a long way in helping "Keep Kids in the Country" and our not for profit organisation.
Thanks.
