Mark Boothman MP Blog - 2020 - Schools

Busy times for Coomera State School and its P&C with lots planned over the coming months. One of the highlights discussed is tonight was the new Coomera markets at the school. These markets will not be run by the school but will be set up by a group independent from the school. But it will be a good fundraiser for the P&C. This will be great for multiple small mum and dad businesses in the area.

It was great to catch up with Ben (local chaplain) whilst I was out and about in the electorate. The students see Ben as their big brother, someone they can talk to and discuss their concerns. Over the years he has helped many students in their time of need. Just finished up at a community meeting, home time and reply to emails.

Hail, rain or sunshine, the Helensvale Farmers Market is on every from 6am till 11am at Helensvale State High School. Our dedicated P&C volunteers start their shift at 4:30 am whilst most of us are still in bed asleep.

Good to catch up with Ben Findlay from Upper Coomera State College. Ben has been the Chaplain at UCSC for many years (hopefully many more to come) and during his time at the school he has become an instrumental part of the student's lives.

Education Ministers from around Australia have agreed; Students will be given a chance to obtain a Queensland Certificate of Education in 2020. There will not be a year 13.
