As we reach the half way point of Term 4, our students are working very hard to ensure they reach their goals that they have set themselves for 2023. Our school leaders have also been very busy excelling in their respective areas. Here is a little snapshot of some highlights so far this term...

Empowering Young Women's Award 

One of our inpsiring Year 10 student leaders, Josephine McMurtrie, has been nominated for the Gold Coast Women in Business Awards - Empowering Young Women's catergory. Josephine was nominated for her exceptional commitment to her fundraising and leadership endevours throughout the College and wider community. Josephine made it through to the final selection process and sat an panel interview last week. Josephine will attend the 2023 Gold Coast Women in Business Awards Presentation in a few weeks, where the winner will be announced. We are beyond proud of Josephine already and wish her the best of luck for the upcoming announcement (we will keep you updated in our next newsletter!)

Northern Collegiate

Congratulations to our Northern Collegiate Leaders for successfully completing a year-long journey of fundraising and community outreach. Throughout the year, the Northern Collegiate has achieved a remarkable milestone by raising over $100,000 for seven local charities.

Special recognition goes out to the dedicated individuals who played a pivotal role in this achievement:

Ava Van Klooster

Josie McMurtrie

Ava Watkin

Renee Tiller

Tiana Te Maari

Elijah Oabile

Isabella Waterman

Amongst the charities was The Cancer Council where students were a part of the Relay for Life Event. Our students were hands-on in organizing and wrapping up the event, as well as overseeing various activities throughout the day. Our students passionately fundraised, and collectively spent 12 hours walking and running the relay to support the cause.

We couldn't be prouder of our students and their unwavering commitment to giving back to our community. Here's to a year of meaningful impact, and we look forward to more inspiring initiatives in the future.

Good Morning, Mariners!

Our positive behahviour program, Good Morning Mariners! has continued to gain momentum this term. All of our students have been engaging in 10 minute lessons each morning in their Peiod 1 class, each week with a new focus area. Over the last few weeks, students have learned all about:

Week One: Being a Learner in Term 4 - "It's your turn to learn!"

Week Two: Being a Learner in Term 4 - "Be the best learner you can be!"

Week Three: Wearing our Uniform with Pride - "Dress to impress and be your best!"

Week Four: Showing Respect to Staff - "Think, reflect and lead with respect!"

Week Five: Understanding our New Reset Process - "Be the best learner you can be!"

Be sure to check out our Facebook page for all of our weekly videos which star and have been produced by our Mariners.
