What a great day of participation and competition this was! Thanks to the parent cohort that came along and helped, encouraged and celebrated successes!

GHS Athletics Carnival
After a few weather changes and multiple adjustments, we had a pretty great day weatherwise last Tuesday, March 11th, in the scheme of the temperatures endured during a rather hot spell.
Thanks to the students for their adaptability, willingness and for their participation in the events during the lead-up to the carnival. Thank you to the student leaders who went out of their way to support and encourage their team mates and promote participation across all age groups and events.
Thank you to all of the staff for their flexibility and encouragement, in particular to Mr Kirk, Miss Pullan, Mrs Davis and Mr Cadzow who went to great lengths to ensure that the day went as well as possible.
The 2025 carnival hosted a coffee van, baking stall, chocolates, ice blocks, soft drinks, pastries and a barbecue – ensuring that everyone’s contributions on the day helped a myriad of fundraising projects around the school. Thank you to everyone who tended a stall, spectated, encouraged and supported these initiatives

MNSEC Athletics Carnival
This week, JCS hosted the 2025 MNSEC Athletics Carnival. Thanks to our busy bus drivers, Digger and Matt for their help, Mr Kirk, Mrs Gaunt, Mrs Hogan and Mrs Jeffries for their support on the day and in the lead-up to the event.
Special thanks to our house captains for the extra responsibilities they took on the day, without complaint.
‘A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.’ John C Maxwell.
The day’s contributions were a great example of leadership in action, stepping up, competing, volunteering, marshalling, doing one’s best and supporting the team. Well done, and thank you to the whole student cohort for their contributions to the GHS sports team.
Thank you to the other schools for their contributions at both of the MNSEC events this term, QAS and JCS for hosting the two events, and to Amanda and her Statewide Sports crew for their leadership of the events. We are fortunate to have opportunities for varied competitions in the Mid-North.
Statewide Golf Championships
A shout out to Oscar Fudge, Peyton Jeffries and Austin Jeffries for their recent participation in the Statewide Golf Championships at Sandy Creek. Their behaviour and persistence was a credit to each of them, in addition to managing their school workload around their sporting commitments.
Congratulations to Peyton who came fourth on countback.
