Student Parliament in Action: A Push for Wellbeing
Student Parliament in Action: A Push for Wellbeing
The Push-Up Challenge was brought to our school by Year 11 student Aoibhe Kerrigan, who proposed the idea to Student Parliament and gained full support from her peers.
She and Cooper McIntyre then trained as 2025 Push-Up Challenge Ambassadors, leading wellbeing workshops with the Year 11 cohort.
Aoibhe and Cooper, along with Kiya Watkins-Rameka, Lucas Noy, Harrison Cato, Cooper Carey, and Destinee Pickvance-Yee, ran an informative session to raise awareness about mental health and the purpose behind the Push-Up Challenge.
They wrapped up with fun, high-energy House competitions and games.
A highlight was the full support from the Year 11 cohort in running a Junior School session - with a fantastic response.
Our older students joined in push-ups and dance games with the youngest students, showing leadership, joy, and energy across campus.
Congratulations Aoibhe and Cooper, and well done to all involved!

Year 3 Science Excursion to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary | Photo Gallery
Year 3 students recently visited Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary as an engaging introduction to their Science unit on living and non-living things.
Exploring Australian animals in their natural habitats provided students with a valuable, hands-on learning experience.
They enjoyed stroking a koala and a lizard, observing a variety of animals up close, and feeding the kangaroos, which was once again a clear favourite!

Year 11 Students Attend Brisbane Careers & Employment Expo
Year 11 Students Attend Brisbane Careers & Employment Expo
Today, Year 11 students attended the Brisbane Careers & Employment Expo – Queensland’s largest event of its kind.
With over 160 organisations and employers present, it was a valuable experience.
Students connected with tertiary providers, industry professionals, and career advisors, gaining insights into a wide range of career pathways.
They explored job opportunities, received expert guidance, took part in hands-on activities, and learned about careers with the Australian Defence Force and other industries.
The event was both informative and inspiring, helping students clarify their interests and start planning their post-school paths with confidence.
Events like this are a key part of our commitment to helping students make informed decisions about their futures.
