Our TMC students proudly represent the College across Athletics, Cross Country, Netball, Soccer, Touch Football, Basketball and Volleyball and we want to give them a brand new, professional and unified range of Interschool Sport uniforms and playing gear to wear with pride.
Our goal: $15,000 collectively (All Interschool teams decked out in Canterbury apparel)
And the response so far has been incredible!
We already have lots of local businesses showing interest in getting behind the project, but we now have just 4 WEEKS to secure the sponsorship required to make the new sporting range a reality.
$3000 pledged already ... $12,000 to go!
Because our official Interschool Competition uniforms need to remain free of business branding, we are creating high value digital and community sponsorship opportunities instead.
Depending on the level of support, businesses can receive tailored exposure through:
TMC website
Social media campaigns and dedicated business features
TMC newsletters
Our College email and alumni database
Relevant local community groups
Sporting event and achievement content
Ongoing recognition throughout the sporting year
Most importantly, your business will be helping our students step onto the field, court and track feeling proud, united and ready to represent TMC.
We aren't looking for businesses to simply buy a sponsorship package.
We want to build genuine local partnerships and tailor the opportunity around your business, your audience and what will deliver the most value for you.
Whether you're a small local business or a larger South East Queensland company, we'd love to talk. This will only be able to happen if we achieve our goal amount!
$15,000. 4 WEEKS. 7 SPORTS. ONE TMC TEAM.
Let's get our TMC Teams looking the part when they represent our College!
If your business would like to be part of making this happen, contact Nikki Ward businessdevelopment@tmc.qld.edu.au and Dave Evans devans@tmc.qld.edu.au
Let's make this happen!
Year 11 Chemistry students have recently been engaging in hands-on scientific inquiry as part of their study of reaction rates. In this practical investigation, students explored how changing the concentration of hydrochloric acid influences the speed of a chemical reaction. Using aspirin tablets as their reactant, they measured how quickly the tablets dissolved under varying acid concentrations.
This experiment provided students with an opportunity to apply theoretical concepts to a real-world context, strengthening their understanding of collision theory and factors affecting reaction rates. Careful observation, accurate measurement, and safe laboratory practices were key components of the activity.
The investigation forms an important foundation for students’ third assessment task, where they will produce a formal experimental report. Through this process, students will develop essential scientific skills, including data analysis, evaluation of reliability and validity, and structured scientific communication.
It has been wonderful to see students demonstrating curiosity, precision, and a commitment to high-quality scientific work.

At just 14 years of age, talented Tamborine Mountain College student Kaia Kingston has achieved something many aspiring writers dream about: writing and publishing her own novel.
Kaia’s book, Whispers Through the Wire, is the first instalment in The Cotton City Murders series. Set in Manchester in 1901, the historical mystery follows private detective Cecily Slater as she investigates the death of a police constable at a telephone exchange. Her search for answers leads her from the cotton mills of Ancoats to the gaslit streets of the Northern Quarter, uncovering a conspiracy that stretches farther than any telegram.
Kaia not only wrote the novel but also created its striking cover artwork by hand, demonstrating her considerable talents as both a storyteller and an illustrator. Born in England and raised on mystery stories, Kaia has drawn upon her interests to create an imaginative world filled with suspense, intrigue and historical detail.
Completing a novel requires creativity, discipline and remarkable perseverance. To accomplish this—and become a published author—at such a young age is an outstanding achievement.
Our school community warmly congratulates Kaia on this exciting milestone. We look forward to seeing where her writing takes her next—and to reading the next Cecily Slater mystery!
Copies of ‘Whispers Through the Wire’ can be purchased online through Amazon.
What an incredible effort from our students during this term’s Jump Rope for Heart program!
We are so proud to announce that 57 students registered, helping us raise an amazing $6,839 for the Heart Foundation and collectively logging an incredible 434 hours of skipping!
Even more exciting, Tamborine Mountain College currently has the SECOND HIGHEST amount of skipping minutes logged in Australia this year! What an incredible achievement!
A huge thank you to everyone who skipped, fundraised, encouraged others and got involved throughout the program. Your efforts are helping the Heart Foundation work towards the prevention of heart disease across Australia.

Year 5 had an unforgettable wildlife experience last week when Mark and Awbrie Culleton brought some spectacular birds of prey to TMC. Students came face-to-face with a peregrine falcon, a goshawk and Des the wedge-tailed eagle, and even had the opportunity to hold Twinkle the barn owl. Of course, the star of the show was Agatha the Powerful Owl, a very special moment for students who have spent so much of the year learning about this incredible species.
The excitement continued when Lucy Paul, Dr Nick Hamilton and Andrew Dinwoodie shared the results of our Powerful Owl investigations. Analysis of our acoustic recordings revealed that a Powerful Owl had been recorded at one of our students’ homes, a fantastic discovery!
Our pellet investigation also produced some fascinating results. Comparing pellets collected around 5 km and 30 km from the Brisbane CBD showed clear differences in diet, with considerably more bird remains found at the site closer to the city, 16 compared with 7 at the more distant site. Even more interestingly, both Brisbane sites differed from Powerful Owl research sites in Melbourne, with our local owls appearing to eat more bats and birds.
It was an incredible way to bring together months of fieldwork, scientific investigation and classroom learning, and a wonderful reminder that important wildlife discoveries can be happening right in our own backyards.

Our Prep Buddies came to visit Year 6 this week, and there was plenty of cuteness as our big kids teamed up with their little buddies to create some very special “My Dad, the Superhero” cards for Father’s Day. It was lovely to see the Year 6 students helping, chatting and creating alongside their buddies, with some very proud little artists taking their finished masterpieces home. A lovely little afternoon of creativity, connection and a whole lot of superhero dads!
Prep and Year 6 Teachers
What a wonderful morning we shared celebrating the amazing dads and special people in our children’s lives! It was lovely to welcome our families into the ELC for a morning of playing, creating and spending special time together.
There was lots of fun to be had with hammering, painting Dad or a special person’s portrait, colouring, Play-Doh creations and mini golf. The children were so excited and proud to share their classroom and favourite experiences with their special visitors.
Well done to the children finishing the morning off with the Wombat Wobble song to their Dads.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the morning so memorable. We hope all of our wonderful dads, grandads and special people have a very Happy Father’s Day filled with love, laughter and special moments together.
