Our kayaking students also performed well at the Queensland Schools Canoeing Championships over the weekend with a number of students winning medals. While we are still awaiting final results from a school perspective, we celebrate the performance of all students. We thank Mr Gary Graves for his leadership of the program and Mrs Leah Croke, Mr Ben Ryan, Mrs Natalie Campbell, Mr Craig Spender, Natasha Whiteley and Jack Gothorp for their assistance. We appreciate the support of our parents who also helped throughout the season.  

We wish our Senior A Girls, Junior A Girls and the Senior D Girls basketball teams all the best for their grand finals this Friday night. The Senior A Girls have been in every A division final for their age group since they started as a Junior A team six years ago. We congratulate all of our basketballers on their season. We encourage staff, students and families to get along and support these teams and details of their games are included later in the newsletter.

On Saturday, Mr Mark Hauser and a number of past and present staff welcomed back the graduates of 2009. The graduates were amazed at the growth of the College, the styles of learning students were experiencing and the resources they now have. Staff and past students enjoyed the opportunity to connect together with people still sitting and sharing stories well beyond the official finish time of 5.00pm. Thank you to Mr Mark Hauser, Mrs Michiko Hauser, Pastor Tim Jarick, Mrs Steph Scarlett and staff for their leadership and support of the afternoon.

Preparations are well underway for the Pacific Pulse Surf Contest, which will be held next Wednesday at either Kings Beach or Currumundi Beach from 7.00am. The competition involves six primary schools from the Sunshine Coast and provides a great opportunity for students to showcase their skills. We thank Mr Darren Hooper and Mr Damian Davis for their leadership and sponsors Beach Beat, World Surfaris, Souls, Smorgasboarder, Rob Williams Real Estate and Laserzone for their generosity.

This Friday we look forward to welcoming grandparents and special friends to the College. It is always a highlight of the year and a special time where we can acknowledge the important role that grandparents and friends play in children’s lives.

Families can then enjoy a wonderful showcase at Viva La Arts from 5.00pm to 8.00pm this Friday. This student led initiative promises to be a great night where families can roam from place to place, enjoying the visual and performing arts talents of our students.

We give thanks to God for the generosity of spirit and the talent of staff, students and parents that flows through this community.

Dr Bronwyn Dolling, Principal
