✨ Happy School Cleaners’ Day! ✨

School Cleaners’ Day is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the dedicated team who work behind the scenes to keep our school clean, safe and welcoming for all.

To show our appreciation, our cleaners and groundsman were treated to a special breakfast as a small thank you for the important work they do each and every day. Their hard work, commitment and attention to detail help create an environment where students and staff can thrive.

Thank you to our amazing cleaning team for all that you do for the Nerang State High School community. Your efforts do not go unnoticed and we are grateful for the difference you make every day. 💙

🏅 Celebrating Our 2026 NAIDOC Awardees 🏅

NAIDOC celebrations recognise and acknowledge the achievements of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Students, Leaders, Community Members, State Schools, ECEC Services and staff across Southeast Region.

We are incredibly proud to recognise three outstanding Nerang State High School students who have been honoured at the 2026 NAIDOC Awards.

Emma Kingsman has earned a place on the 2026 Student Academic Excellence Roll Call. To achieve this Emma attained an A grade in at least five Australian Curriculum learning areas, including English, Mathematics and Science, across both Semester 1 and Semester 2 of the 2025 academic year. This significant accomplishment reflects her dedication, perseverance and commitment to academic excellence.

Lyliana Toby was awarded in the Student Leadership (Junior Secondary) category and Lucca Toby was awarded in the Student Leadership (Senior Secondary) category. In 2025, there were more than 8,500 Australian First Nations students enrolled across state schools in the Southeast Region, making this recognition a remarkable achievement. These awards acknowledges both Lyliana and Lucca’s leadership, positive influence and contribution to our school community.

Congratulations to Emma, Lyliana and Lucca on these well-deserved achievements. We are proud to celebrate your success and the positive example you set for our school community. 👏✨

🌿🐟 Exploring, Learning and Connecting at Jacob’s Well! 🐟🌿

Students from Years 7–12 recently attended camp at the Jacob’s Well Environmental Education Centre, taking part in a range of hands-on environmental and cultural learning experiences.

Activities included ponding, where students collected, identified and classified freshwater insects, team-building challenges, Indigenous games on North Stradbroke Island and a trawling expedition aboard the Educat vessel. Students also collected and analysed data on the organisms found in local waterways, developing their scientific investigation skills.

A fantastic opportunity for students to learn outside the classroom, connect with the environment and create lasting memories. 🌏💙
