On Friday September 1, the Queensland Police Pipes and Drums attended Leichhardt State School, Ipswich.
The Queensland Pipes and Drums performed the Kops in Kilts program for all children from Prep to Grade Six.
The children were very entertained and enthralled watching and learning about the instruments used, especially the bag pipes, and signing along to the songs they knew.
The children had a lovely time and actively participated in the songs played – some children were even lucky enough to assist the band!

The school holds a NAIDOC event every year in week six of term three.
During the celebrations there were activities, games and traditional singing.

QPS officers and students were very excited to meet Leroy Loggins who was in attendance at the ceremony.
Leroy is  an ex-Australian basketball player and took part in the activities and taught the children the basics of basketball.

Police advise that residents should secure their homes and vehicles to avoid opportunistic thefts.
In the past, many vehicles have been taken while the victims were at home.
Keys, mobile phones and cash were also stolen after thieves allegedly gained entry to homes and easily located car keys in plain view.
Hiding car keys and valuables will make it difficult for offenders to steal your vehicle and other property.
Ask yourself, “where are my car keys?”
If you can, secure your car in a garage or park your vehicle inside of your yard rather than on the street. This will also assist in the prevention of number plates being stolen.
If you have information for police, contact Policelink on 131 444 or provide information using the online form 24hrs per day.
You can report information about crime anonymously to Crime Stoppers, a registered charity and community volunteer organisation, by calling 1800
