The incredible talents of our music students truly warmed our hearts at the I’ve Got Chills solo concert held on Thursday, June 12.
Students from all three campuses came together to deliver a memorable concert, showcasing both their musical growth and their courage. Seasoned performers demonstrated their continued development in skill and confidence, while debut performers bravely stepped out of their comfort zones to share their musical journeys with a large audience.
This concert marked the second in our Solo Concert Series for the year, and we couldn’t be prouder of every performer who took the stage.

Queensland Regional Readers Cup Competition
On Tuesday 10 June, five of our Year 6 students represented our school at the annual Queensland Regional Readers Cup Competition, hosted by Highlands Christian College. This event provided a wonderful opportunity for our students to showcase their love of reading and literature. With thirty-two teams from across the Darling Downs participating, the competition was both exciting and challenging. We are proud to share that our Junior College team placed twelfth—an impressive achievement and a highlight of the day.
A special moment for the students was meeting acclaimed author Katrina Nannestad, who was in attendance. They had the chance to chat with her and have their favourite books personally signed.
Congratulations to Imke, Koto, Ruby, Ava and Emma for their early morning starts and hard work in preparation for the day. We would also like to thank our parents who came and supported our students on the day. Your enthusiasm and support for our students was much appreciated.

2025 Darling Downs Readers Cup
This week, four of our Year 7 boys represented our school at the 2025 Darling Downs Readers Cup, held at Highlands Christian College. With determination and team spirit, they competed against schools from across the region in a celebration of reading.
Under the watchful eye of quizmaster and best-selling author Katrina Nannestad, the students tackled five challenging rounds of questions, diving deep into the details of the books they had studied. From plot twists to character traits, the boys showed great focus and teamwork as they worked together to recall and discuss the novels they had read in preparation.
The Readers Cup is more than just a competition—it’s a powerful way to promote a love of reading, critical thinking, and collaboration among young people. By taking part, students not only strengthen their reading and comprehension skills but also gain confidence in their ability to communicate ideas and engage thoughtfully with texts.
We are incredibly proud of the boys for their effort, perseverance, and positive attitude throughout the evening. Their willingness to step up and represent our school is a credit to them, and we hope the experience has sparked an even deeper appreciation for reading.
