Our Middle Years students always represent the College well and we are very proud of all their achievements. In the last week, we have had many successes to celebrate. Below are just a few:

QAMT Maths Competition

Three of our students recently competed in the state finals of the QAMT Maths competition – Emma Cusack (8), Jack Gibson (8), and Zane Stirling (7). The students performed to the best of their ability against colleges much large than oursl , including, Brisbane Boys College, St Joseph’s College Nudgee, Anglican Church Grammar School, Rockhampton Grammar School, and Brisbane Grammar School. Well done for competing against students from these large colleges.

Chelsey Cave – Winner of the Create Your Headspace Youth Street Art competition

Chelsea (Yr 7) recently entered (and was awarded as one of the winners) the Create Your Headspace competition, which is funded by the Queensland Government’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Package. The competition challenged young people to think creatively and then produce an art design that reflected on the theme ‘How are public arts and culture important to your mental wellbeing?’.

Councillor Kaye Maguire, Council Spokesperson for Community and Cultural Development, stated ‘We could not have been more in awe of the well thought out and creative submissions we received. It was tough, but the winning entries are simply incredible.’

Well done Chelsea who was one of only three winners from our region.

Kobi Durham – Winner at the Nationals

Kobi (Yr 7) recently competed in the Queensland state titles for archery in the Cub division (U12) and was awarded the winner at this competition. Last weekend, Kobi then represented at the national titles and was once again successful in the Cubs division for his style of bow - the traditional recurve bow.

Kobi went on to be awarded the overall winner for points scoring in the Cubs division for the entire competition. Kobi’s success did not end there. After the archery competitions, he participated in a tomahawk throwing activity and was once again crowned the winner. This is an amazing effort considering Kobi only began his archery journey 10 months ago.
