Hello to all our Boarding Families

Week 7 has been very busy with Year 12 Mock Exams and after-school sports with Volleyball, Netball, and Rugby Union winding up for the season. It has been a very social and enjoyable term, and the students get to mix with other students from different schools here in Toowoomba.

A few students dressed up in character for Book Week and Year 8 headed off to Camp.

I was fortunate enough to attend the QATIF prizegiving on Tuesday at USQ with Mrs. Kerri Turner to support our Boarder Captain Khan in receiving his Graduation certificate.
