Eduquest
Students currently in Year Seven are invited to apply for a place in the annual Eduquest competition.
Year Seven students from local primary schools face challenges in Maths, Orienteering, Art, Science and Sport Fitness, as well as general knowledge in the Eduquiz Grand Finale.
Eduquest is a great day for students from different primary schools to come together in a real community event. It is an opportunity for students to display intelligence, creativity, knowledge and performance.
There were some serious prizes on offer at the 2006 Eduquest
to acknowledge the worth of the event. The overall winning school was TMSS,
receiving the Eduquest Trophy and a $1000 cheque from
Tamborine Mountain College,
with medallions for all team members. The Eduquest Spirit Trophy went to
Silkwood Steiner and all team members were awarded Spirit Certificates.
1st placed student winner was from Silkwood Steiner primary school, receiving a Full Scholarship at the College for Yr 8-12 (valued at $18,000) and a College uniform (Yr 8 outfitted valued at $500).
It is not only students who enjoy the day - teachers and parents attending last year's event all commented on the quality of the activities and the great atmosphere generated. Everyone particularly enjoyed “Teachers on the Spot” which only went to show that the students were not the only ones that were clever!
Congratulations to all 2006 winners. Eduquest 2007 will be held on Thursday 17 May. Remember that May is your opportunity to apply for a Scholarship – academic or sporting ability – or Bursary – financial assistance. Everyone can be a winner with excellent education at Tamborine Mountain College.
Orientation Day
Orientation Day is held in September for Year 7 students intending to join the College for secondary education. Other students are also welcome to explore College life and education. It is a fun day with a difference – education comes alive on the Time Machine Carriage.
