Hi readers, I am Layla Bonner—an art lover and proud STEM enthusiast. Enough about me - let us talk about our amazing prefects. Sam Wilson’s study room is running smoothly, giving seniors a quiet place to work during D Block’s refurbishment. Amelia Jones is gearing up for the World’s-Greatest-Shave later this term. Alannah Sweet is already organising the 100-Day picnic in Term 3. Amy-Lee Innes’ “Bullying? No Way! Day” is on August 15, and Livia Cannavo is planning a special surprise for the graduating seniors! Stay tuned for more updates!

Ewan Keith

Hey everyone, my name is Ewan Keith. I have always had a natural interest in sport and physical activity and as School Captain I am proud to see all the amazing sporting opportunities our school is offering. Our school soccer season kicked off with the Bill Turner soccer teams going out and smashing it. The school cross country team competed at the Border District and Darling Downs Carnivals, with other teams and athletes competing in a range of sports. We can be proud of the way our school carries itself with pride and the excellent achievements of our students.

Fitzroy Pascoe

Hi, my name is Fitzroy Pascoe; someone with a love for talking and reading! At the start of Term 2 this year the library opened a new room – The eSports room! This room will help kids interact with people they have never met before that have similar interests to them, improve hand eye coordination, allow students to participate in competitions – both in and out of school – and my personal favourite part, keeping kids out of the cold in the coming winter months. The room is currently outfitted with a couple of computers and Nintendo Switches, giving students access to Minecraft, Mario Kart, and Rocket League. News about competitions will be coming soon!!!

Jade Poole

Hello, my name is Jade Poole and for my first article in the school newsletter I have decided to reflect on one of our recent Prefect projects. Sarah Neville's project raised a total of $315.50 for the Dolly's Dream Foundation through a lolly jar guessing competition and gold coin donations for dressing in blue for the day. Dolly's Dream is dedicated to changing the culture of bullying by addressing the impact of bullying, anxiety, depression, and youth suicide, through education and direct support to young people and families. A big thank you to everyone who participated, your contributions will make a real difference in supporting this important cause.
