At Buderim Mountain State School, we encourage students to participate in annual community events, and also invite children's families into the school to celebrate and participate in internal events. We believe having strong community ties and active family participation in children's schooling is vital to a positive school experience, and helps children become fulfilled and active citizens.
Annual school events include
Book Week parade:
Students from Prep to Year 2 dress up as a character from their favourite book
as part of The Children’s Book Council of Australia ‘Book Week’
celebrations. The event usually takes place in August and runs in conjunction
with other activities promoting Australian authors and illustrators, and the
importance of reading.
Easter Hat Parade:
Every year students in Prep and Year 1 participate in the Easter hat parade.
Parents and children work together to create an Easter hat or bonnet, which is
worn by students during the show as part of our broader Easter celebrations.
Under 8's Day: A range of hands-on activities are planned each year for our junior school students to participate in and enjoy being Under 8! We also have community organisations who participate including our emergency services. This event is held in Term 2 and also includes visits from our local childcare centres.
Grandparents' Day: In Prep and Year 1, our grandparents are invited into classrooms to participate in activities with their grandchildren. Our grandparents are also invited to a morning tea, with our Performing Arts students presenting different performances for our visiting grandparents.
Christmas Concert: A source of great
excitement for our junior school students is the Christmas Concert. Featuring
an array of musical performances, including many well-loved Christmas carols,
it’s an event not to be missed.

Community events
ANZAC Day: The Buderim community hosts an annual parade which proceeds from the top of Burnett Street and finishes at the Memorial Gates of our school, with an ANZAC service following in the memorial pine plantation. Students are invited to march in the parade, and children who participate in three ANZAC Day parades are awarded a Buderim Badge for Service.
