On behalf of all of us at Cairns High, our condolences to you Claudia during this very difficult time. To our community, if you can support Claudia at all, please see the link in the shared post or the comments below ❤️

At just 17 years of age, Cairns Youth Mayor Claudia Kurowski is navigating an unimaginable loss.

Following the sudden and unexpected passing of her dad, Witek, Claudia now finds herself alone. She has no siblings and no immediate family in Australia.

In the midst of completing Year 12 and preparing for the future she had planned, her world has been turned upside down.

Many of you will know Claudia through her service to our community as Youth Mayor and as the Youth Member for Cairns in the Queensland Youth Parliament. She has spent years giving back to others.

Now it’s our turn.

Join me in wrapping our arms around Claudia. Whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser, every act of support will make a difference.

Mayor Amy Eden.

We encourage parents and carers to send their children to school with some spending money so they can support our young entrepreneurs and enjoy a great lunch while helping our students put their business skills into practice.

Thank you for supporting our students and helping make Enterprise Day a success!

Flu season can still impact attendance as we approach the end of term. Simple steps like regular handwashing, covering coughs and sneezes, and staying home when unwell can help keep school communities healthy. If your child is sick, please contact your school, so that we can support your child’s learning. https://cairnsshs.eq.edu.au/our-school/contact-us
