School Chaplain Ben has been a familiar face in our local schools for a long time, serving at Upper Coomera State College, Pacific Pines State High School, Helensvale State School and Helensvale State High School. Ben is hanging up his chaplain boots and heading in a new direction, still focused on helping young people in need, just in a different way. Thank you, Ben. You made a lasting impact of many young peoples lives. Wishing you all the very best for the next chapter.

The internet connects us globally through messages, video chats and online games, helping children and young people learn, play and stay connected. While being online can be positive and fun, it can also expose them to risks, so it’s important to stay aware and practise safe online behaviour.

Topic of discussion at last night’s Coomera State School P&C meeting was the graffiti at the front of the school. The Graffiti is 99% removed.

Full house at Coomera State School P&C tonight! Lots of discussion about upcoming events — Colour Fun Run, Christmas Carols and the Subway fundraiser.

Gaven State School hosted a smoking ceremony to officially open their Yarning Circle. Thank you, Uncle Alfie, for leading the ceremony and engaging with the students.
