It was a delight to have the staff and students from Gaven State School at the Queensland Parliament! Today students were able to watch education committee estimates.

Congratulations, Coomera State School, on your 150 years! From your humble beginnings of 16 students who first sat in a classroom half the size of what we use today, the school has come a long way. I’m looking forward to the 150-year Fete on Saturday.

Congratulations to all the award recipients at tonight’s Helensvale State School mid-year awards night! A quote from Walt Disney “All our dreams can come true; if we have the courage to pursue them.”

Thank you to the fantastic Jubilee Primary School - Pacific Pines P&F for organising tonight’s Jubilee Board Game Trivia Night! We have a diverse range of teams with some “interesting” names. Gotta love the ladies in the blowup outfits. So far no air leaks. 😄 Well done President Nat and team.

School Funding Question On Notice to the Minister for Education: Invest for Success funding is allocated to schools based on their ICSEA value (Index of Community Socio-educational Advantage), notionally, a higher ICSEA value would equate to lower funding per student and vice versa.
