Friday of this week is the ‘National Day of Action Against Bullying’. Students have always been asked to take a stand against bullying and throughout the day will be engaged in activities and reflections that make them consider the impact that bullying can have on others. In today’s age of social media and technology, online platforms from across the world create one of the most prevalent forms of bullying and harassment that children face today. It is easy for young people to say nothing and let it go. However, we would like all to be able to recognise when comments and actions are hurtful to others and rather than being a bystander, become an upstander and speak out against negative comments that can have an effect on someone else. We hope that as a community, we can come together to support each other and treat everyone with care, dignity and respect at all times.

Senior College Volunteers

Last weekend, almost half of the Year 12 cohort volunteered their time to help out at the Mooloolaba Triathlon event. Despite the early start, the volunteers worked together to get various parts of the course set up and ready for one of the biggest events on the Coast’s sporting calendar. It was great to hear about their dedication and the way they came together to work as a team to support the event. Thank you to Mrs Allyson Sarvari for her coordination of the volunteers and for her organisation and dedication with the event. We look forward to further opportunities for the cohort to come together to volunteer at various events, as this is a great way for them to finish their final year off strongly and build lasting memories. Well done to all.

Drivers to school

As more and more students obtain their P-plates in the senior school, it is important to remind parents and students that their safety on the road, and the safety of others, is a top priority. Students should be entering the school zones at 40km/h and school carparks at 5km/h. Students can park in the student carparking zones but should not be going to their cars throughout the day. All students who are driving to school will also need to complete an orange student driver form. These can be collected from the Wellbeing Centre.
