‘Best day of my life’
LAUGHTER, excitement and community spirit were in full swing at Kilcoy State School on Friday 20 June, as more than 170 children celebrated Under 8s Day with a morning packed full of fun. One enthusiastic participant declared it “the best day of my life!”
The school grounds were transformed into a playground of adventure and creativity, with 30 different activities on offer to entertain and engage young minds.
Thirteen of these were proudly hosted by local community groups and services, showcasing the strong ties between the school and its wider community.
Children moved between a variety of hands-on experiences, from cuddling animals at the petting farm to dancing, gymnastics, tennis, and a lively treasure hunt.
Ball games kept the energy high, while craft stations gave kids a chance to slow down and explore their artistic sides.
A major highlight of the day was the presence of local emergency services, who gave children a close-up look at their work, with interactive displays that were as educational as they were exciting.
The mix of physical activity, creative exploration, and community involvement ensured there was something for everyone, with messy play adding to the laughter and energy of the morning.
With perfect weather and a buzzing atmosphere, Kilcoy’s Under 8s Day was declared a huge success — a memorable celebration of early childhood, community connection, and good old-fashioned fun.
