World Vision-
Tinana students have a 'World Vision'. Each year students in Years 5,6 and 7 volunteer to participate in World Vision's
Famine Fighters-the primary school version of the 40 Hour Famine. The children do a great job raising money for needy children in other
countries. For the past two years Tinana has been the highest
fundraiser for all primary schools in regional Queensland. Student
Council- Tinana students participate in a 'student
council'. The representative students are elected from years 5-7. Their job is to help
voice the other students' opinions, fundraise and develop projects that
would be of benefit to the students in the school. They also help
with special events that take place within our school. 'Student
Council' meetings are held once a fortnight during lunchtimes. Some of
the activities that 'student council' have organised are Disco's, Bad hair
days and Sausage Sizzles. Rec Sport-

afternoons when there is no interschool sport. These sports include:
Lawn Bowls, Tennis, Dancing, Archery and Orienteering
Choir - Students from years P-3 are able to participate
in junior choir. Students in year 4-7 have the opportunity to
