This year UCSC is 'BravingnShaving', participating in the World's Greatest Shave and raising much needed funds for the Leukaemia Foundation.

The annual Racing The Vale 5km sports challenge fun run was on again at Helensvale. It was great to see a mass of runners all hyped up ready to race. The local Councillor William Owen-Jones Division 2, Gold Coast got into the action and raced the LJ Hooker Teddy Bear, a green turtle and some crazy looking purple guy from Anytime Fitness.

A message from our school zone crossing guards - don't use your mobile phone whilst driving and don't make rude hand signals to the crossing guards when they ask you to stop. They are doing their best to protect everyone's children.

Once again I have written to the Minister about safety concerns regarding primary school students crossing Highland Way to access the Highland Reserve State School's rear gate. I totally agree with many residents who have expressed fears an accident involving a child is only a matter of time. We need a crossing guard to be allocated at Highland Way to ensure students cross the road safely.

Congratulations to Madison for winning the 2017 Northern Gold Coast Lions Youth of the year. It was a tough competition with many talented students competing for the top prize.
