Nothing could dampen the fun of our Open Day and ArtsFest event, not even the rain. College families and visitors enjoyed a range of art displays and performances on the day as well as food trucks, a climbing wall, petting zoo, pony rides, and the inflatable obstacle course. 

Primary school's students delighted the crowds with their production of Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf. Drama Excellence students impressed the audience with their performance of Headspace. Music lovers were treated to duets, junior and senior band, and our College rock band. Local artist, Bronwyn Davies led a creative workshop enjoyed by members of the community. 

We also had Opti-MINDS and debating team demonstrations and loads of fun activities in the classrooms. Finally, there was the fabulous P&F cake stall. 

Thank you to all who attended on the day and a special thank you to those who baked and donated delicious goodies for sale.  It was a great day and we look forward to our next Open Day in May 2023.

As we have our builders on site, we thought this would be an ideal opportunity to get our Y7 maths students out in the field to measure up areas that might need some extra work!

They've been measuring the basketball court, the paint needed for line markings, replacement tiles for the chess set, the garden beds and calculating the paint needed for new pathways! It's great to see real life mathematics in action !

Year 10 Certificate II in Sport and Recreation students spent Thursday afternoon completing their First Aid and CPR training.  Students have been working through theory online over the past four weeks and needed to complete the practical part of the course for them to be able to finish their certificate before the end of the year.

Students valued the experience and feel that they are prepared for any event they may come across in the future.

Primary swimming lessons commence in Week 1 of next term and continue until the end of Week 6. Held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, our students walk up to the Tamborine Mountain Pool each week and learn to swim in ability level groups.

Some parent helpers may be requested by some of the lower year levels, so please volunteer if you are able to do so. Parents are not to go into change rooms at the pool. The College rosters two staff on each swimming lesson in the younger years to assist in the change room if required.

The Primary SRC students spent Wednesday morning at Tamborine Mountain Landcare performing an act of service. Each student planted their own sapling and weeded a rainforest regeneration area. Thank you to Judith from Tamborine Mountain Landcare for helping our SRC on the morning and for telling us all about the plants and animals.

On Tuesday the Year 2 VIC and VAL classes went on an excursion to Parklake Park. The day was an important part of our Science unit called ‘Forces: pushes and pulls’. The students spent the day examining playground forces and completed a part of their assessment by determining whether they were experiencing a push or a pull force. Of course, there was plenty of time to play in the playground also! The afternoon was busy with parachute and ball games on the field and we even got to throw a frisbee. Everyone had an absolute blast as you will see in the photos!

Ms Byron and Mrs Kramer wish to thank all the parent helpers, Bodene, Sarah, Adrian and Rebecca and of course Mrs Lewis, for their help and company on the day!
