🚨 PRINCIPAL'S WRAP – WEEK 5! 👏❤🩶🤍
Another week, another look behind the scenes with Ms Bunn as she celebrated culture, learning, student pathways and connections across our school and wider community!

This week she:

🌏 Shared in a Multicultural Lunch with our English as a Second Language/Dialect (EAL/D) students, sampling delicious foods from their different cultures and learning how to say hello and other cultural greetings in languages including Farsi, Urdu, Tamil and Mandarin. What a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the diversity that makes our Hawks community so special! ❤️

🫀 Joined our Year 12 Sport & Recreation students for "Staying Alive", as they renewed their CPR certification and refreshed those important lifesaving skills.

🎨 Visited 8F as they explored watercolour landscapes as part of their Arts learning this term. We love seeing our students get creative!

🤝 Stepped beyond the school gates for Principal's Business Day, joining fellow Principals alongside Deputy Director-General for State School Strategy, Stacie Hansel, and CQ Regional Director, Sue Dalton, to discuss state school strategy and the future of state education.

🎓 Finished the week celebrating connections and student pathways at the CQUniversity AVP High School Engagement Dinner, alongside Principal Lye from Mt Morgan SHS, Principal Newell from Rockhampton SHS and Ms Kim Harrington, CQUniversity Associate Vice-President Rockhampton and Central Highlands Regions.

From celebrating the cultures within our school to strengthening connections across our wider community, it's been another big week for Ms Bunn! 👏

🍹 Shaking Up Their Skills! 🍹
Our Year 10 and 11 Hospitality students have recently completed their Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) certification as part of their learning this term.

To bring their training to life, our Hospitality staff created an incredible mock bar display, giving students the opportunity to identify and understand a variety of beverages in a realistic setting. Students also took part in bar service role-play, developing valuable customer service and industry skills in a hands-on learning environment.

A big congratulations to our students on achieving this important qualification, and a huge thank you to our Hospitality staff for creating such an engaging and authentic learning experience.

Keep up the great work! 👏

🏉 BIG WINNERS ARE GRINNERS… OR IN THIS CASE, CHEERERS! 📣🦅
A huge congratulations to our Year 7A Boys Rugby League side and their coach, proud Hawks alumnus, Justin Asse, on their first win in the Interschool Rugby League Competition - A Division, defeating Emmaus 26–12! 👏🔥

The boys showed incredible resilience, pride, sportsmanship and dedication to the Hawks jersey to earn this well-deserved win. They’re a shining example of the attitude and commitment we want to see from our Rugby League Academy students.

And judging by those celebrations… they weren’t just winners, they were CHEERERS! 😂📣

Well done, boys — you’ve certainly given us something to cheer about! 🦅🏉

🚨 PRINCIPAL'S WRAP – WEEK 4! 👏❤️🩶🤍
Another week, another look behind the scenes with Ms Bunn as she got musical, got scientific and got involved with our Hawks!

This week she:
🎶 Auditioned for our Instrumental Music Students Salon Session with her recorder skills — although she was only allowed to click along to The Addams Family! 🪈😂 We’re not sure a solo career is on the cards just yet...

🔬 Visited our Year 7 classrooms, chatting with students about career pathways and getting hands-on by assisting with a science experiment exploring friction.

🥣 Hung out with students at Breakfast Club as we soft launched our exciting new model — breakfast is now available every school day! Monday to Thursday students can enjoy toasties and cereal, while Fridays remain our Hot Breakfast Day, with savoury mince on the menu this week. 🍞🥣

From music and science to making sure our students start the day ready to learn, Ms Bunn has certainly been keeping busy!
