The New QCE System
We are ensuring our Year 12 students are well-prepared for success in their senior studies with minimal impact from the COVID-19 restrictions. Our school is working with the Department of Education, the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) and the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) to ensure our students are able to achieve their goals for Year 12 and prepare for their lives beyond school. For further information go to the department’s new QCE system webpage and the QCAA website.

It’s flu season
Flu strains change each year and so you and your family need to be vaccinated every year.
Please remind your children to regularly wash their hands and cover coughs and sneezes.
If your child is ill, keep them at home and notify the school as soon as possible.
Seek medical advice if you are concerned about your child’s health.
Let’s work together to keep everyone healthy.

Think outside and get active in Queensland’s National Parks
There is no better time to ‘think outside’ and give the great outdoors a go. With hundreds of tracks and trails across the state, visiting to a park or forest is a great way to reach 10,000 steps a day.
Venture into Queensland’s parks and forests with friends, family or partners to enjoy active outdoor experiences, such as walking, hiking, mountain-biking, kayaking, canoeing, and camping
Being in nature is great for both mental and physical wellbeing. Even just five minutes a day spent exercising in nature is proven to benefit our wellbeing. Plan your next adventure outdoors today.
