I’m riding the Brisbane to Gold Coast Cycle for Cancer later this month to help raise money and awareness for much-needed cancer research. Unfortunately, we all know someone who has been affected by cancer in some way or another.
You can help donate towards my fundraising efforts here: https://fundraise.mater.org.au/s/70348/96741
Thank you! Even if you don’t make a donation, giving a thumbs up will help me on the ride 🚴

We have received our ATAR results for a number of our Year 12s and I can confirm some outstanding achievements, with a number achieving well of 90+.
However, the real positive for the wellbeing of our students is the confirmation of all of our students achieving a QCE for the eighth year running, as well as close to 80% of our students achieving a Cert 3 or greater, alongside close to 1/3 of our students receiving early offers to University even before their results came in late last week.
Our results show entry confirmed for uni subjects in Engineering, Science, BioMedicine, Teaching, Health, Arts, Nursing and more.
No matter where you start, you will have a Marvellous journey to a rewarding destination.
Congratulations to each and every student leaving at the close of Year 12 - whether it is to work, further study or university.
Simon Done
Principal
