Every Classroom is a Reading Classroom 🧠📖
Reading is not limited to English lessons — it is part of learning in every subject area.
Students read to:
📖 Understand instructions and explanations
📊 Interpret graphs, data and diagrams
🔎 Analyse case studies and evidence
🧪 Explore scientific investigations and experiments
🏛️ Examine historical sources and perspectives
📚 Engage with novels and other texts
Every subject introduces students to new vocabulary, ideas and ways of thinking. As students read across the curriculum, they develop the knowledge and skills needed to learn, communicate and think critically.
Across every subject, students build the knowledge, vocabulary and skills that make them stronger readers — giving them the tools to learn, communicate and participate confidently in the world around them.

When something isn't working, you have three moves: accept it, change it, or leave it.

You may need some help making these moves, and asking can take some courage; you've got this! ❤️🧡🩶

🚧 Our Year 10 students had an incredible hands-on learning experience at DIGGERMAN in the Coolum Industrial Estate on Friday as part of a "Try a Trade" day.
Six students got to operate a haul truck, roller, excavator, skid steer and EWP, along with practising line marking. It was a fantastic opportunity to explore potential career pathways and gain real-world experience.
To finish off the day, Sam Kingdom won a voucher towards a qualification of his choice. Well done, Sam!

Please find below a message from Adam Rose who was Chappy at our school for 13 years.

Hi all,

As I had my last day, I realised I didn't get to farewell and thank everyone for being part of the Chaplaincy Service for the last 14 years at MSHS. For those that I missed, I hope you find this at some point on our social media page.

Firstly, I want to thank our your people that continue to inspire me, and keep me young at heart. Watching young people face their fears and challenges and grow from them has been a constant reward in this role. I have especially appreciated all the young people that have shown the courage to give back to their community in lots of positive ways.

Secondly, I want to thank all the staff that have collaborated with different projects over the years. I can't think of a staffing team in which I haven't been supported by in some capacity. Whether in teaching me a new skill, donating resources, organising my chaos, attending fundraising events, sleeping on cardboard boxes and so on. I have constantly felt supported in lots of different ways by our whole staffing team. A special thanks to our school leadership and student service team. You consistently created pathways for helping me engage young peoples learning by bringing creative activities to life.

Thirdly, I owe a big thank you to our school Maroochydore SHS Parents and Citizen’s Association, our Local Chaplaincy Committee, community organisations and local churches. Your support in lots of ways empowered me to keep a priority focus on working with young people.

Finally, a big thankyou to my family who have sacrificed their time and energy to support this role in lots of different ways. Thanks for being a part of my journey.

Many blessings,

Adam Rose, MSHS Chappy

Reading Complex Texts 🧠📖
Reading growth happens when students have opportunities to engage with texts that introduce new ideas, vocabulary and ways of thinking.
Complex texts help students develop:
🔎 Vocabulary
Encountering new words and learning how they connect to meaning.
💡 Comprehension strategies
Making connections, asking questions and developing a deeper understanding of ideas.
🧠 Critical thinking
Exploring perspectives, analysing information and thinking beyond the text.
Just like any skill, reading develops when students are given opportunities to practise, reflect and extend their thinking.
Reading complex texts takes practice. Challenge helps the brain grow, but support helps students access that challenge.
With guidance, encouragement and effective reading strategies, students develop the confidence and skills to engage with increasingly complex ideas.
The goal is not to avoid challenge — it is to build the skills and confidence to meet it.
