We are incredibly proud of the outstanding academic results achieved by our students throughout Semester 1.

The growth and achievement we continue to see across our school is a testament to the collective dedication of our staff and our unwavering commitment to high-quality teaching and learning.

We look forward to announcing our Age Champions and overall winning House at our Week 10 assembly!

This week saw Brighton State School provide another exciting opportunity for students to represent their school, competing in the AFLQ Schools Cup for the first time.

Our Instrumental Music Band delivered a truly outstanding performance at assembly this morning, showcasing the incredible talent that exists within Brighton State School. The confidence, musicianship, and professionalism displayed by our students were a reflection of the dedication and hard work they have invested throughout the year.

Performing in front of the school community takes courage, and our band members rose to the occasion, captivating the audience with a polished and engaging performance. We are incredibly proud of these students and grateful to our Instrumental Music teacher, Mr Van, for his expertise and commitment in helping nurture a love of music and performance.

Our Dance Academy students have been working tirelessly behind the scenes, rehearsing each week under the guidance of our dedicated dance teacher, Mrs Walker. These talented Year 5 and Year 6 students have shown outstanding commitment, teamwork and perseverance as they continue to refine their routines and develop their performance skills.

We are incredibly proud of the effort they are putting into every rehearsal and look forward to seeing them showcase their hard work and talent in performances later in the year. Their enthusiasm and dedication are a wonderful example of what it means to be Proud to be Brighton.

The strength of our Brighton State School P&C continues to shine through their unwavering commitment to investing in our students and enhancing their learning environment. This week, we were excited to receive the delivery of 168 new student desks, generously funded by our P&C.

This significant investment has been made possible through the tireless efforts of our P&C Executive, members and volunteers, who dedicate countless hours to organising and supporting community events such as Trivia Night, Movie Night, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Einbunpin Festival and many others. Their passion for our school and commitment to creating opportunities for our students enables valuable funds to be reinvested directly into our classrooms and school environment.

As a result of this purchase, seven classrooms will now benefit from modern, best-fit furniture that supports student learning and engagement.

Our A Boys finished runners-up after a hard-fought 0–1 Grand Final, the B Boys finished 4th, the C Boys finished 5th, and our Girls team secured 4th place overall.
