Congratulations, Coomera State School, on your 150 years! From your humble beginnings of 16 students who first sat in a classroom half the size of what we use today, the school has come a long way. I’m looking forward to the 150-year Fete on Saturday.

Congratulations to all the award recipients at tonight’s Helensvale State School mid-year awards night! A quote from Walt Disney “All our dreams can come true; if we have the courage to pursue them.”

Thank you to the fantastic Jubilee Primary School - Pacific Pines P&F for organising tonight’s Jubilee Board Game Trivia Night! We have a diverse range of teams with some “interesting” names. Gotta love the ladies in the blowup outfits. So far no air leaks. 😄 Well done President Nat and team.

School Funding Question On Notice to the Minister for Education: Invest for Success funding is allocated to schools based on their ICSEA value (Index of Community Socio-educational Advantage), notionally, a higher ICSEA value would equate to lower funding per student and vice versa.

Highland Reserve State School Parents & Citizens Assoc. (P&C) Colour Fun Run was a blast for the students and the volunteers. I was lucky enough to group up with the messy team. We successfully coloured every student head to toe, even ourselves, in the process. Thank you to the P&C Volunteers and HRSS staff for allowing us to paint them with colour. A big shout out to Mister O’Brien (Principal) for being a truly good sport!!
