Year 7 Science Excursion

During Week 2 and 3 of this term, our Year 7 Science students enjoyed an exciting excursion to Moreton Bay and St Helena Island. On the waters of Moreton Bay, they collected plankton samples and examined them under microscopes.  They also explored the ecosystem of St Helena Island and investigated the feeding relationships between the organisms they discovered.

It was a fantastic hands-on learning experience that brought their Science studies to life.

Year 12 Certificate III Education Support

On Tuesday 29 July, our Year 12 Certificate III Education Support students travelled to Minjerribah (Stradbroke Island) to work as Teacher Aides at Dunwich State School.

Dunwich State School has an incredibly rich and vibrant Indigenous Culture at the heart of the school. This first hand experience provided valuable insight into how to better support both Indigenous, and non-Indigenous students.

All students that attended excelled, and were given personal commendations from the staff at Dunwich State School. They were a credit to our school, demonstrating professionalism, maturity, and team work.

Exploring Quandamooka Knowledge: A Special Workshop with Mick Watego for Visual Art in Practice students

On Thursday, 31st July, the Visual Arts in Practice students were privileged to welcome a distinguished guest speaker, Mick Watego, who conducted a workshop during their class. This semester, the students have been exploring the Quandamooka Rangers and the First Nations' profound methods of land stewardship, waterway care, and traditional fire management practices. Drawing upon this knowledge, the students will craft ceramic vessels that embody elements of the environment, and the strategies employed to protect it.

Mr. Watego brought valuable experience as a First Nations Bush Safety Officer with the Quandamooka Rangers and is a proud Nhughi man of the Quandamooka Nation. The students had the unique opportunity to engage with Mr. Watego, gaining insight into environmental management and posing questions to deepen their understanding.

The event proved to be an enriching experience for all participants, and we extended our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Watego for generously sharing his expertise and time with us.
