The school is planning a huge fete and celebration which will include displays, memorabilia, stalls and rides – something for the whole family. Big shout out to Kerri Underwood, Principal Nicole Page and their team of dedicated helpers. I delivered a quick speech in Parliament last night - only had 3 minutes but could have talked for hours on this magnificent school.

Congratulations Mr Patrick Innes-Hill on officially being sworn in as the Principal of Coomera Anglican College. You have a wonderful school community and am sure will continue the great work of retiring foundation Principal Dr Mark Sly.
