⏰ 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐔𝐓𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐒! | Did you know that being just a few minutes late each day really adds up over the year?

📉 Look what happens when students arrive late regularly:
• 5 minutes late = 17 lessons missed
• 10 minutes late = 35 lessons missed
• 15 minutes late = 51 lessons missed
• 20 minutes late = 69 lessons missed
• 30 minutes late = 104 lessons missed

That’s the equivalent of missing days or even weeks of learning across the year.

✅ Arriving on time helps students:
• Start the day calmly
• Stay connected with their learning
• Build strong routines
• Set themselves up for success

Let’s work together to make punctuality a priority because every minute truly matters 💜📚

The excursion provided a valuable insight into the Queensland justice system, allowing students to experience the court environment and gain a deeper understanding of how the legal process works beyond the classroom.

It was fantastic to see students engaging with the experience, asking questions and connecting their classroom learning with real-world justice and legal proceedings. A great day of learning and exploring future pathways in the justice sector! 👩‍⚖️⚖️📖

Students were required to plan and develop their performance, not just focusing on the music they performed, but also considering visual aspects such as lighting and costuming to help promote their brand as developing musicians.

The evening was a huge success, with some fabulous performances from all the students involved! 👏✨
