Benowa State School offers many lunchtime clubs and activities to enrich our students well being, to provide a sense of community outside the classroom and to connect and support students in a fun and engaging environment during break times.

Come and join the Go N Run program! Held every Tuesday and Thursday morning from 8:00am - 8:25am on the top oval, this program is supervised by our P-3 Physical Education teacher and is a fun and rewarding way to start the day.
The Go N Run Running Club aims to give students an opportunity to exercise and expand some energy before school, all the while promoting 'community' as fellow students encourage one another to achieve the various different milestones of the running program. As students reach each milestone, they unlock a badge to wear on their school polo, this allows students to achieve their personal best and strive to reach their new goal.
We welcome students from Prep - Year 6 to join in the fun with Mr Milloy
(If you wish for your child to participate, please drop them off at either the Main gate or the Prep gate so they can walk straight through to the oval. They are to take their bags with them.
We have just opened our doors to a re-purposed classroom space, and it is a space where the learning areas of
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics can come together intentionally and in an applied way to support children to become active inquirers, wonderers and problem-solvers. This space provides access to high quality, innovative and engaging resources, including robots, devices, construction materials, in fact, all sorts of things to help build and create, digitally and physically.
