2019 Graduation
2019 Graduation was held at the Mercure Gold Coast Resort last Friday 1st November. It was a beautiful night of celebration, and our graduating students were the stars! It was wonderful for our students to share their achievements with their family and friends, before heading out to the dance floor of course!
There are so many people that support Graduation each year, we couldn't do it without them! As they say, it takes a village!
Thank you Gold Coast TAFE and Daf at the Hospitality Hub for creating a cake designed by our students.
Thank you Kim Murray for taking family and group photos to begin the night.
Thank you Kustoms of Australia and Ian MacDonald for making sure our graduates arrive in style!
Thank you for the ongoing support from Karen Andrews MP, Ros Bates MP and Councillor Glenn Tozer.
Thank you to Kate Bentley, our Assistant Regional Director, who presented Certificate I achievements to all of our graduating students on the night.
Thank you to the team at Mercure Gold Coast Resort for working with our students who have been planning their graduation night all year!
Please note that there will be no school banking on 12th November as I will be away.
Banking will resume the following week on the 19th November.
Thank you for understanding.

Variety is holding its annual Special Christmas Party on Saturday the 30th November at the Brisbane Convention Centre, Southbank.
The event starts at 10.30am and finishes at 2.30pm.
We have been lucky enough to receive some tickets but are limited for each Age Group. Each Ticket allows entry for one child and 1-2 Carers.
To help facilitate the distribution of tickets we request that you send an expression of interest by 14th November.
Due to the limited availability of tickets the P&C considers a criterion of confirmation, eg. families who have not received tickets to events in the last 12 months first.
Our aim is to provide equity across the school community.
Thank you for your cooperation in this
