In exciting news, Information Communication Technology (ICT) students Maxwell Woods, Austin Salter and Jacob Field, have been selected to implement their innovative idea at our very own Yeppoon Lagoon!
After working closely with Livingstone Shire Council (LSC) for the past 10 weeks, the Year 9 and 10 Digital Technology students presented their creative ideas to use electronic sensors in public spaces. Head of ICT, Miss Sheridan Blackford, in partnership with ICT Gateway to Industry School’s Program, organised the IOT based experience to further develop industry links between the college and LSC. The boys worked hard under the guidance and support of their teacher Mr Michael Jensen to create business plans that were presented in “elevator” style speeches to a panel of judges. Collectively Max, Austin and Jacob conceived the idea to track visitor numbers at the Lagoon and have this data available to the public. The idea being the data could be used by visitors to get an indication of facility availability and how many people they could be potentially sharing the space with. The ‘winning’ idea, judged by LSC representatives and Arthur Hunt (LSC citizen of the year 2015), means these students will now be afforded the opportunity to work alongside Livingstone Shire Council to make their idea a reality.
Today marks the anniversary of the Luna Park fire which tragically claimed seven lives, including four Year 8 Waverley students; Jonathan Billings, Seamus Rahilly, Richard Carroll and Michael Johnson. Our thoughts are with their families and with College Old Boy Jason Holman, who has bravely lived with harrowing memories of that night for 42 years. You are all in our hearts forever. There has, as a result of the three-part documentary series Exposed: The Ghost Train Fire (ABC), been a renewed push to reopen the case, long suspected as being a deliberate act of arson shrouded in corruption.

Always an amazing celebration, that is made even more so by the talented Ms Rollins and the Cantores.
Did you know that every Wednesday morning a group of our boys help run the Good Start Breakfast programme at East Hamilton Hill Primary School?
The gentlemen give up their mornings to prepare breakfast for students of the school as part of CBC's Service Learning programme, learning plenty about the joy of a life lived in service in the process.
Any students interested in joining the Good Start Breakfast team can email Mr Stockton to be placed on the roster.
