Yr_12_Dr_Blewer_presentation_image.jpg

At the end of Term 2, our Year 12 Legal Studies students engaged in a face-to-face zoom presentation from Griffith University Law School’s Dr Robyn Blewer, who is also a Director of the Griffith University’s Innocence Program.

Dr Blewer spoke about the issue of wrongful convictions in Australia, and about the Innocence Program’s work in advocating for reviews of claims of wrongful convictions by innocent victims.

Our Senior Legal Studies students are currently investigating Australian cases of wrongful convictions, to complete their final internal assessment in recommending law reform in this area. Students appreciated this real-world exposure from a widely recognised public advocate for victims of miscarriages of justice, which has given them unique insights and valuable targeted information to assist them with their senior assessments.

Year 9s in the Trenches at Living History Incursion

On Thursday our Year 9 students took a powerful step back in time during our WWI Living History Incursion. The experience brought the harsh realities of life in the trenches during WW1 through a hands-on exploration of real and replica artefacts, including uniforms, artillery, grenades, gas masks, and soldiers food. 
Presented by engaging historical educator, Shane Blackman, the incursion provided our students with the chance to handle equipment, hear stories from the front lines, and better understand the harsh conditions faced by Australian soldiers in the trenches.

Join us for the Reef Festival street parade

We'd love to see as many of our students as possible join our school float at this year's Great Barrier Reef Festival Rotary Street Parade. Each year the main street of Airlie Beach comes alive in celebration of the reef, with this year's event taking place on Saturday 2nd August. The theme is 'Coral Kingdom' and we encourage our students to dress in bright and colourful sun smart clothing. Students are to meet at the Broadwater Avenue carpark near the lagoon at 4:30pm for a 5pm start.

Applications open for Year 12 exam invigilators 

Applications are now open for invigilator roles during the Year 12 external assessment period, which runs from Monday 27 October to Tuesday 18 November 2025. Invigilators play an important role in promoting public confidence in the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) system and ensuring that proper and fair administrative procedures are implemented.

The QCAA appoints members of the Queensland community as invigilators to observe and report on the administration of assessments. The invigilator role is independent; they are appointed to supervise proper administration of the assessments, not to supervise students or assist with any administration or assessment set-up tasks.

Applications for 2025 invigilator positions are open from 30 June to 25 July 2025. External assessments will be administered between Monday 27 October to Tuesday 18 November 2025.

To apply, please visit the QCAA website, and for more information email invigilation@qcaa.qld.edu.au or call 1300 239 227. You will receive a system confirmation email acknowledging that you have submitted your application.

If you are appointed to an invigilator position, the QCAA will email you appointment information in August/September 2025. Unsuccessful applicants will be notified by email.
