Happy Father's Day!

Our @varsitycollegepandc gave our students a beautiful opportunity last week to celebrate the valuable men in their lives, with our Primary Campus Father’s Day stall for 2026!

Volunteers gave their time to assist our Primary Campus students in choosing the perfect gift, and their smiles were infectious! We wish all dad’s and father figures a wonderful day today and thank them for being fabulous role models and carers for our children.

A special thank you also goes out to @hermannvorstermp for his support at this year’s stall!

Our United Nations Club and Academic Pillar recently collaborated to host our first ever Secondary Campus Book Fair as part of our annual UNICEF fundraising initiative!

Overall, we were able to raise almost $2000 for children in need, hitting our goal for the year!

Last week our Primary Campus had the pleasure of welcoming the Honourable John-Paul Langbroek MP, Minister for Education and the Arts, Mr Hermann Vorster Minister for Burleigh, Mrs Julie Warwick QLD Dept of Education Regional Director and members of our P&C for the official opening of our Year 5 & 6 shade structure that was recently completed!

Starting as an incidental conversation between MP Vorster and P&C President Andrea Williams, the governmental $150,000 infrastructure investment in our students’ health and wellbeing is a true testament to what can be achieved when elected officials and community come together.
